Dont Visit Australia, Warning issued to Indians

Posted by Shane On January - 29 - 2010ADD COMMENTS

Minister of State for External Affairs Preneet Kaur Friday cautioned Indian students against visiting Australia for the moment following the string of attacks on Indian nationals.

‘We are doing all that we can. An advisory has been issued not to visit Australia…,’ Preneet Kaur told reporters, reiterating that Indian students should stay away from Australia.

‘We are pressurising the Australian government to find the reasons behind the attacks, why have they happened and how they have happened. The reasons behind them (attacks) should be investigated.’

Her comments came as the body of Ranjodh Singh, a fruit picker, who was killed on Dec 29 was flown into Delhi on Friday. Ranjodh Singh was set alight and left to die in the New South Wales farming town of Griffith. Three Indians have been arrested for the crime.

‘I think they (Australians) are open now to investigation taking place because of the meeting between foreign minister S.M. Krishna and his counterpart in London,’ said Preneet Kaur.

‘The first meeting of the joint working group will be over the weekend in the state of Victoria. The attacks on taxi drivers are also something not really acceptable to us Indians and the Indian government.’

Krishna conveyed to his counterpart Stephen Smith in London, where both the ministers were taking part in a conference on Afghanistan, concerns about the attacks on Indian students continuing unabated despite high-level assurances.

Sources said Krishna had told Smith that the incidents of violence against Indians had resulted in public resentment and the attacks, if left unaddressed, could cast a shadow on bilateral relations.

The government had earlier this month issued an advisory warning students heading to Australia for studies and those already in the country.

The ministry of external affairs cautioned students that incidents of violence had started affecting the larger Indian community in Australia.

The advisory came days after accounting graduate Nitin Garg was knifed to death, the first fatality in the attacks.

Posted by Shane On January - 24 - 2010ADD COMMENTS

Searches are recently growing hot on the topic Actor Johnny Deep dies in a Car crash.  But is he truly dead? The answer is No and thats a period.

Lets go back to the story which repeats that Johnny deep is dead. Earlier in 2004, Johnny deep was indeed found in a fatal car crash in france. The police investigation on the issue reports that he had alcohol with him, reports the website  blogs.timeslive.co.za. But he is not dead, he is just fine and he did great master piece work on Pirates of the Caribbean.

The rumors that Actor Johnny Deep is dead is all a fake. He is doing just great and is currently working on Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides

What happened to Mininova site?  This question has been arised between the Content downloaders online .  Well , the answer for that is , “mininova has stricted it service to content distribution after a fallout in court”.

Another Torrent site down. Yep, the pressure from Entertainment Industry has taken a toll on the torrent sites.  The other torrent sites which is most visited  thepiratebay.org has been stopped in many countries.

Another famous site zamunda.net is no longer available.

The Following message has been given in mininova site.

Hi all,

Today is an important day in the history of Mininova. From now on, we are limiting Mininova.org to our Content Distribution service. By doing so, we comply with the ruling of the Court of Utrecht of last August.

Unfortunately the court ruling leaves us no other option than to take our platform offline, except for the Content Distribution service. According to the verdict (Dutch link) we have to prevent uploads of torrents to Mininova that refer to certain titles or to similar-looking titles. We’ve been testing some filtering systems the last couple of months, but we found that it’s neither technically nor operationally possible to implement a 100% working filter system. Therefore, we decided that the only option is to limit Mininova to Content Distribution torrents from now on. We are still considering an appeal at this moment.

We launched our Content Distribution service in 2007. This service allows producers and artists to easily publish and distribute their content for free through Mininova. The launch of Content Distribution has proven to be a success. Countless content owners have used Content Distribution to distribute their content (e.g. albums and documentaries) for free to millions of users. For example, the Dutch band Silence is Sexy released their complete album on Mininova and received the Interactive Award 2009 for doing so. The Dutch television broadcaster VPRO decided to start using Content Distribution in 2009 in order to distribute documentaries.

We would like to thank you for your support. Especially everyone that contributed to Mininova receives a big “thank you!” for the effort! We hope to keep welcoming you on Mininova and our other projects (e.g. Snotr, Dispostable).

Thanks! The Mininova staff  ”

Google loses the Canadian Groovle case

Posted by Shane On December - 30 - 2009ADD COMMENTS

Been a sad 2009 year for google. Not only it faced advertisers downfall and rivals uprising but also the imitation of  its own domain name.

A Canadian small business company named 207 media, has open a domain in the name of  Groovle.com for serving the  goal of search engine purpose.

Well, if your thinking that its a new search engine, then let me put it this way.

Groovle.com uses google search engine bar in the page for search. So Legally, they are using googles search operation.

The additional feature in Groovle.com is that, the website will allow the user to select an image or they can upload any image from the system and make it their desirable homepage and then proceed to search. If your unclear in this , have a peep on the image i have loaded.

In my image, i selected  planet earth picture and created a home page of my desirable. Come to think on it,  do you think it resembles the  features of Bing.com.      lol :)

Courts  Judgement:

Well, google sued groovle in the court and ask the jury to give the groovle domain to google. The Jury though dismissed the claim.

This is only the second time out of  65 cases where google has been refund on their request.

The three judges who was appointed for this case  said the name was not similar enough to confuse people and the word ‘groovle’ was more closely linked to “groovy” or “groove” rather than Google.

Not a good year after all. Right Google!!!
