Enjoy the Internet While it Lasts
Today in our time, we are immensely enjoying the enormous benefits of the internet. From social networking to file sharing, to games, blogs, and the different web sites. We can not deny that the internet is a very big part of our lives.
The internet is no longer a simple network of computers with information that interest few people. The internet is the source of knowledge from everything and anything. Here, we can voice out our pleas, our gratitude, our dislike for Glee and Twilight, and our approval (or disgust) for online porn. Our computers have been our best friend, it’s the first thing we turn on when we get home, it’s our gateway to the outside world.
All of these things may come to and end with a simple approval of a law.
The SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act or H.R. 3261) and the S. 968 (the Protect IP Act) are bills that seem to have good intentions but are truly filled with abusive legal powers to dominate the entire internet.
For example, our blog uses pictures from different celebrities and other content from Movie studios, TV networks, and other companies. If SOPA is passed, all it takes is a letter from the copyright holder to take down ANY site it wishes to be dried up, thus depreciating its value.
It will also severe the ties between companies that process payments like PayPal and other credit card companies, and without funding, most of the small businesses that utilize blogs and websites will all die.
There goes innovation.
There goes the memes that we all enjoy.
Freedom in a free world is again redefined by the greater powers.
The internet is a rich source of information and entertainment. We are connected to everyone who utilizes this network. We are exposed to things we can never see on network television; the internet has been our special place for shared experiences.
The internet is also a great source of revenue, from small blogs to big web sites like Facebook. If these bills are passed, this will greatly redefine our beloved internet, so again, as the title says, enjoy it while it lasts.
Or…
… we can protest, by simply informing everyone of these bills and their effects, we can build a greater voice, a greater force than those who want to control the internet for their own selfish reasons.
Share this post, inform your friends, tell them everything about what you’ve just read. Although SOPA is backed up by companies like Pfizer, Motion Picture Association of America and other selfish companies, there are also companies like Google, Facebook, Zynga, Twitter, Mozilla, Wikipedia and other companies who are against it.
But this is not enough. The bills are being “railroaded” in the US congress before any opposition can be made. If you are a US citizen, please write a letter to your congressman about these bills. To all non US netizens, you can sign up here to add your signature for an online petition to stop SOPA.
Please preserve the internet, stop the powers that want to destroy innovation and freedom.

Manny Pacquiao is Still the Pound for Pound King, Pacquiao is Not the P4P King, What?
Admittedly, Pacquaio’s latest clashing with Mexican boxing superstar Juan Manuel Marquez was, to sum up in one word, disappointing. This has left some fans (and critics alike) doubtful of Manny’s claim as pound for pound king.

Disney-Pixar's Brave Trailer
Presenting the online trailer for Pixar’s upcoming movie, Brave. Said movie is the first Pixar feature film with a female protagonist and a female director. Aside from these wonderful firsts, the movie stars the very foreign Craig Ferguson, how great is that?!
Katy Perry Blowing Wood...wind Instrument
Katy Perry is adorable and sexy at the same time. Add the recorder (technically it is a recorder, not a flute) and this could stave off my soft porn cravings for a week.

Russian Scientist Reveals Secret to Eternal Life
If this succeeds rich people will not only think they are better than us because they have more money, they will also live longer than us.
What We Can Get from the Pacquiao-Marquez Fight

Deadlines and Creativity
Who likes deadlines? I do. It’s the only thing that fuels my drive to work. Deadlines are the sweet endings to my meal and in this sentence my meal is my work, not that my work is to eat but deadlines are sweet, that’s the idea.
The Real Deal on the Pacquiao-Marquez Fight
Many felt that Pacquiao’s win over his “nemesis” Juan Manuel Marquez was shady. True, Pacquaio wasn’t stellar that night and Marquez seemed the better fighter, but there are things to consider when deciding who wins a boxing match and who doesn’t.

Siri on the iPhone 3GS
It’s not that surprising to know that Siri has been installed on the iPhone 4, but Siri on the iPhone 3Gs? C’mon! That’s pretty impressive. The iPhone 4s will be released on a global scale on Nov 11 and Apple will be pretty pissed on the hacker who made Siri possible on the iPhones 4 and 3GS.
Old Chinese People Sing Lady Gaga's Bad Romance
Thoughts in my head while watching the clip:
I think installing rails should have been the number 1 priority here.
Bored? Play Tontie
This is another great game from eye maze. Tontie is a huge time waster, so in other words, its great. If you ever played whack-a-mole games in the arcade when you were young, then you need no introductory explanations, if not, I guess your childhood was pretty rough.
Cat Utilizing the Cobra Stance
This reminds of an old Jackie Chan movie where in a talented yet misguided cat enters a dojo and gets beaten only to return faster, more disciplined, and better than everyone even his own master.

Ellen VS Kimmel, Nice Off
This is a nice off. It’s the opposite of rap battles and hateful yo’ momma jokes. But between Kimmel and Ellen, who will win this battle of goodness?
I Ate All Your Candy
Halloween is over but that doesn’t mean we can’t have more fun. Jimmy Kimmel posted a challenge to parents to tell their kids that they ate all their children’s candy. The reactions are pretty funny and you should expect a lot of crying. But the serious non-crying kinds are even funnier.

Kate Beckinsale is back! Isn’t she beautiful? Oh how I missed her. The third movie did not cut it for me because she was NOT THERE. This 4th one better be good without Bill Nighy, though we may not know yet if he will return as a ghost.
Music Video Made of 288,000 Jelly Beans

The level of skills these Indian’s are showing are ninja like. I guess these masters of bread tossing or fast food handling are satisfied being ordinary citizens, citizens who wield awesome power.

Bored? Play Isora and Muku
This is the story of Isora and Muku. They are sisters. How? I don’t know. It might be because they have the same biological parents. Or they made a pact that they will be sisters. Your questions are just creating more questions. Just shut up play the game.
WTF Japan? Even Your Houses Are Weird
I love Japan. I really do. They make excellent entertainment paraphernalia like toys, anime, comics, and… photographs. But even as a fan, I have to admit, Japan, you are weird.
