Robbing a bank is wrong, because you are taking something that does not belong to you, and that you did not work for. However, I am not sure that the same morals have the same application in the cyber world. Stealing a car is one thing, but would it be so bad if you could just copy and paste your car? That difference is the line between piracy and thievery. Therefore I think the morale code needs to be adjusted and I will use the iPhone app store for my example. Say I were visiting Washington DC for the weekend and planned on using the metro there. I would never pay for an app that I would only use for a weekend, that's just ridiculous to me. However it wouldn't be to much of a hassle to pirate it. What difference does this make to the creator of the app? None at all because if I were not able to pirate it, I would of never bought it. Either way he doesn't make a dime so what does it matter? On the other hand when I first saw the Civilization Revolution App in the AppStore I did not hesitate for one second ...

I just stumbled across this site that goes pretty in depth about copyrights and some of their problems. There are plenty of pages out there bashing copyrights, but this one was written in a unique voice with a passively rebellious sort of attitude. He points out some ridiculousness and gives reasonable ways to respond to our copyrighted world. Did you know that you can't even sing happy birthday without breaking a copyright law, or that the phrase "Freedom of Expression " is trademarked? You life is not read-only really brings to light wonderful points on the matter.

You check your facebook throughout the day hoping for some menial form of human interaction, and you are almost always disappointed. The one day out of the year that you are probably actually doing something in real life with real people, all of your facebook friends jump at the chance to spam your wall.

Stumble Upon has given a new option for those of us who don't have enough friends to be entertained by facebook. It's addicting and some of us just can't stop.

Dorkly created a cartoon poking fun at our leadership for their poor response to the oil spill crisis. The captain below the image on their page says "How many Cheep-Cheeps have to die before princess peach does something?".

So ya'll have seen a few posts letting your know I'm out of town so the next post shouldn't surprise you. I just got a new app called log me in ignition to remotely access my home computer from my phone and I was very impressed. The app costs $30 but for those of you with jailbroken iPhones you can give yourself a little "trial" for free. It's easy to use; just install the app, sign up on their website, and install their desktop program. You have full access to use your home computer just like you would if you were there except for the interface. It takes a bit of time to get used to but once you've used it for a while you get used to it. The only issue I noticed is if you have a computer with a slower graphics card or if your phone has a bad connection it can be a bit laggy. It's fun as a toy and would be a great resource in a pinch and need access to your home computer while your away. I recommend changing your resolution settings to around 640x480 because it will make everything much bigger and easier ...

I’m out of town this week and I wanted to make sure I didn’t neglect T3chToday but I wasn’t sure how I was going to do that. Where I’m at there isn’t any wifi and I don’t own a cellphone company’s wireless card for my laptop. I did some digging around looking for some information on iPhone tethering and found a tutorial on PdaNet for iPhone on lifehacker. Nothing ever seems to work out too easy for me; since my laptop doesn’t have bluetooth I had to use the USB method which I could not get to work with Ubuntu because PdaNet does not support it. After dualbooting my laptop with Windows, I was pleasantly surprised at my results. It’s pretty snappy Internet for a free bootleg tether. My only complaint is the spotty service where I’m at, but that’s AT&T’s fault not PdaNet's. iPhone tethering is against your AT&T’s terms of service, so be careful if do decide to tether. AT&T isn’t really cracking down on people using an iPhone tether right now because they do not offer the service yet, but they will in the future. The only way your going to get caught is if your using heavy ...

Today, May 22, 2010, marks the historic anniversary of the classic arcade game pacman. As a tribute, Google turned its logo (as it often does for various holidays and important dates) into a pacman theme. However what makes today a little different is it is totally playable. To start a game hit the insert coin button (where the I'm feeling lucky button normally is) and you use your arrow pad to direct pacman around the Google logo to nom up the dots. And if you hit the insert coin twice it will begin a two player version featuring Mrs. Pacman which will insure the entire office is off task.
