TLA Gets in Bed with MediaWhiz
To be honest, and I'm still a noob, I'm not familiar with MediaWhiz. However, I am very familiar with the people at Text-Link-Ads.com and the services they offer and great communications they have with their clients. On a number of occasions I've mentioned the quality of service they offer to both a publisher, advertiser, and affiliate, simply second to none. It looks like today they are getting in bed with a conglomerate called MediaWhiz.
The move appears to be a positive one, at least in regards to the TLA newsletter. Broadening their horizons and moving into the CPA network and hopefully strengthening their core competency's is the ultimate goal...and not to just see dollar signs. 
I am excited to announce that Text Link Ads Inc will be joining forces with MediaWhiz. This will bring some exciting changes to our platform. Here is how this will benefit you in the coming months...
Publishers: by leveraging MediaWhiz’s agency relationships and sales staff we will be able to sell more ad space on your website. We also will be adding the ability to monetize your website in new ways including: CPA offers and CPM display advertising.
Advertisers: TLA will be working with MediaWhiz to offer new ways to drive traffic and sales to your website including: email marketing, CPA offers, CPM display ads and more!
It is important to note that the people you will be dealing with tomorrow at TLA will be the same people you have always dealt with since our doors opened in 2003. Over the next few months we will be moving our office to New York City to join the MediaWhiz headquarters and look forward to meeting more of our clients and publishers in person! This is an exciting time for our team and our clients. We have found a great partner that will be able to help our publishers and advertisers earn more money. We are looking forward to delivering more great products and even better service in the coming months with this alliance!

I for one am looking forward to what the next few months bring with Text-Link-Ads. I've had success with the company in the past few months and hopefully that will only grow for me as well.
Elite Segregation
RIP EliteTorrents.org May, 2005
I remember, I was at work and the family I had grown to love disappeared in the blink of an eye. On Oct 26th the first ruling in the first US Bittorrent tracker case took place and ended 23yr old Grant Stanley in jail for 5 months. Adding insult to injury, the sentence also includes 5 months worth of home detention coupled with a $3000 fine. All of this has been reported via TorrentFreak and this evening I've spent going over the comments, which make me absolutely sick.
Most visitors, oblivious to the fact that other EliteTorrent admins are reading their comments spout out 'facts' and opinions which make the writer look like a tard. It really does make me sick when I think back to the day I was greeted with the red ICE logo and notification that my favorite torrent site had been shut down. Those same feelings are compounded after reading through the comments on the TorrentFreak blog.
The problem is that most people who took the time to comment were not a part of the EliteTorrent family, but merely leechers looking for a quick fix. TPG rose from the ashes of ET and it offered no torrents for download whatsoever, but rather a meeting place for the p2p family and friends. The laws a gray area, the responsibilities of the admins a gray area, it's just difficult to point the finger at who is really responsible. This does not negate the fact that there are a plethora of idiots commenting over at TF, so if you feel like getting pissed off check it out.
For Scott McCausland and others who have yet to be sentenced...Good Luck! Despite what you may see in the comments at TorrentFreak, you know you still have family out here. 
Update Your Cracked OS
Using pirated copies of any OS is not recommended/suggested/or implied by Nailsblog.com, but if you do and you want to update it, then this is a great way to do it. In addition, if you are looking for a more comprehensive way to update your Windows OS than 'AutoUpdate', then you have to check out AutoPatcher.
AutoPatcher pitches itself as an answer to continuous installations, updates, and countless individual patch installations. Their download consists of patches, add ons, and registry tweaks compiled from the latest official Microsoft Windows updates. Furthermore, for noobs(like myself), you are provided with a list of patches/addons/tweaks etc, from which you make your selections. After you hit install, the rest is completely automated and typically only requires the obligatory hard restart.
If during your updating/tweaking you need any support, AutoPatcher's official forums can be found at Neowin. Neowin is a computer geeks paradise that focuses on the latest net, software, and gaming news.
Push up Your Nerd Glasses
Admittedly I'm a sucker for a good video game, especially when that game rhymes with 'Halo'. I am a long term Halo CE player and on again/off again Halo 2 player. Like so many other fanboys I'm looking forward to Halo 3 and just as importantly, Halo the movie.
If you weren't aware of it the Halo movie is being produced by Peter Jackson, director for Lord of the Rings and King Kong. The most successful game franchise smushed with a successful director and backed by Microsoft...what could go wrong? A lot.
Already the movie studios have pulled out due to high production costs, at least being over the initial $125 million budget. No worries, Jackson and MS said that they would take things forward and pick up where the movie studios left off, this movie was going to be made, but this was 2 weeks back. It looks like the fate of the Halo movie is in limbo and it's definitely on hold, for now.

Get Legal at P2PSeek
What's the definition of legal p2p? It appears to me that the phrase legal translates into a DRM ridden file that is only partially complete, or at best a good sample of what your actually looking for. Alternatively legal may mean that the files your looking for don't exist at all. Let's not lie to ourselves, p2p users don't want legal, they want DRM free files for cheap or next to nothing.
However, the misleading term legal is thrown around the bittorrent scene and surfaced again yesterday at P2PSeek.com.
The P2P Search Engine encompasses over 200 P2P, music, and video web sites, including top P2P industry news portals, blogs, forums, and companies. Sites include all member companies of the Distributed Computing Industry Association ( http://dcia.info ).
That doesn't sound very appealing to me, but I intend to research the engine in more detail in the next few days. The problem is that with so many illegal alternatives a 'legal' alternative just isn't going to cut it.
The Departed is Shakespeare
Last weekend I saw The Departed, quite possibly the best movie in the past 3, no, no 5 years. Depending on who you talk to my opinions and critics of movies are in left field, but this movie simply delivered on all counts for me. Hard to believe since it didn't have Keanu Reeves in it.
However, like all gangster movies, it's a rehash of Shakespeare. Boy/girl feuding families and in the end everyone dies. But seriously, it's a freakin blast the whole way, if you don't mind blood and the F-bomb being dropped every other sentence.
