BitLet is an online torrent client that downloads the torrents for you without any torrent client. BitLet  runs in java so there is no extra installing needed.This is also good if you don’t want to install a torrent client on your computer. Also it supports video streaming so you can download a torrent that is a video and have it stream. They also support streaming for music too.BitLet supports changing the port and even the upload rate.They also have a bookmarklet for Firefox and IE that allows you to download the torrent without having to go to the BitLet page. BitLet also has cool features like resume downloading, using a local or online torrent,and allows you to download more than one torrent at a time. They also show you your upload and download speed and even how many seeders and leachers. Most of the time the torrents will work but not always. I would recommend this to users who rarely download torrents and also to people who need to download a torrent but don’t have the time or want to install a client.. If you download  torrents often then i would stick with whatever client you have.

Achieving high availability for services in organizations it is not an easy task, decisions makers in several companies do not consider this solution as viable considering the costs we have to assume in storage and the new layer of complexity added to our platform. StarWind iSCSI software appears to solve both of these problems.

StarWind provides the possibility to use a simple server with normal hard drives to act as an iSCSI (open Internet protocol) portal which is charge of offering remote storage to machines and easily transform those in high availability clusters for your services.  Also, using Windows Server 2008 R2 we will see that the procedure to create a cluster if we are using StarWind iSCSI is really simple.

To create a Windows Server 2008 R2 Failover Cluster using StarWind iSCSI software can be done within 5 steps (the complete guide available here):

1. Review requirements for the environment: Having one machine acting as an iSCSI server using StarWind software and at least to machines, same hardware baseline, to conform the cluster.
2. Install StarWind iSCSI SAN software: Easy step, just follow the wizard.
3. Configure and create storage within StarWind iSCSI: This application has a very intuitive console to administer the resources, so you won’t find much problem completing this.
4. Install Failover Cluster feature in machines and run validation wizard: The validation wizard will execute several tests to the servers in order to assure us that the cluster will be stable.
5. Create Windows Server 2008 R2 Cluster: A three-step wizard that, if we executed the validation without any problem, this wizard should complete in the same way.

You can download a free trial for StarWind iSCSI software from this link.

If you usually share files in the web, then there’s no way you’ve never used some of the most popular sites:  RapidShare, Megaupload, Hotfile, DepositFiles, EasyShare, etc. But you should know also that sometimes the availability and speed of those hosting sites do not offer any guarantees; so why not upload the file to all hosting sites in one step and receive all the possibilities?

• Brazil is the number one country for spams generation with 7.7 trillion (yes, trillions!) spams sent every year.
• There are around 1.3 billion e-mail users.
• The average size of an e-mail is 75KB.
• The @ symbol was included in keyboards in 1885, but the first original use for this character was in 1971 when Tomlinson used it as the division within the first e-mail sent.

And how this woman came with the idea for claiming the sun? Well, when she read that in last September there was a guy who registered the Moon and other planets the idea came to her head. And additionally to that, there’s an international agreement which states that no country may claim ownership of a planet or star, but it says nothing about individuals.

“There was no snag, I backed my claim legally, I am not stupid, I know the law. I did it but anyone else could have done it, it simply occurred to me first.” said Angeles.

The official document where Duran is taking ownership of the Sun, declares the person as: “owner of the Sun, a star of spectral type G2, located in the center of the solar system, located at an average distance from Earth of about 149,600,000 kilometers.”

And after this, of course, she’ll be charging to anyone who uses the Sun. But wait, not all the money will be for her, she’ll spend only 10% of the funds for herself.

The good news is that I guess we now have someone to sue about skin cancer.

Honestly I’m not quite convinced about all the “Facebook” included in this model, sounds a bit too much. On the inside they’ve also included the following “Facebook is a social utility that connects you with the people around you” and “Making the world open and connected”.

The Twitter model seems a bit better; they’ve included the Twitter bird logo and the original color used by the micro-blogging web app.

Google made earlier an initial offer of $2.5 billion to acquire Twitter, but not only the micro-blogging service refused this offer, but also said that the amount suggested was “insulting”. That’s why Google is apparently analyzing to increase the bid up to $4 billion dollars.

According to the report, an important source related to Twitter said that 3 months ago they’ve received a similar offer of $4 billion dollars from an unknown buyer (Microsoft?) but it was rejected.

What do you think? Can any of these big companies actually buy Twitter?

Twitter could resist these kinds of bids, in the same way Facebook did?
