I heard that the core group of thePirateBay.org (TPB), one of the biggest BT sharing sites of the world, was under arrested in Swiss a couple days ago. Yet, a lot of people confimed that they can still access TPB normally.

However, since today, people find out that the favorite site they go on every day was blank out and doesn’t respond any more. Here is one of the ping record I made:

10 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss

Obviously, this is not something as simple as the “hardware maintaining” they made before.

I have a feeling that this bay is gone for the pirates.

UPDATE: ThePirateBay.org is back online, don’t know how long it is gonna last.

Just found an interesting pricing today. I am planning to get an iPod Touch, and found out FS is even cheaper than Apple itself.

Futureshop iPod Touch 8GB $239

Apple Store online iPod Touch 8GB $259

However, Apple does provide high quality refurbished ones.

Apple Store refurbished iPod Touch 8GB $229

Basically, here is the list:

Futureshop: $239 + tax +environmental fee for BC (where I am located)

Apple store online: $259 +tax , or refurbished $229 +tax

Apple Store: $259 + tax + environmenttal fee for BC

From a reseller source, $239 is basically the cost for iPod Touch 8GB’s cost. Hmmm, why is Futureshop doing that? Interesting.

However, Apple online does provide engraving service for free for brand new iPod Touch.
