So the Flash-based cookie is basically spyware or am I wrong?

30 years to change the logo but only 5 years to stop playing music...

I was wondering, "Oh, did they finally drop the 'M'?"

Best read of 2009!

Update:

Google said on Friday that an error caused the search engine to remove The Pirate Bay from its search pages.

"Google received a (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) take-down request that erroneously listed Thepiratebay.org, and as a result, this URL was accidentally removed from the Google search index," Google said in a statement. "We are now correcting the removal, and you can expect to see Thepiratebay.org back in Google search results this afternoon."

Later, Google updated it's statement: "The removal appears to be an internal error and not part of a DMCA request."

Separately, The Pirate Bay's site appeared down Friday afternoon at 1:15 p.m. PT, at least in many U.S. areas.

Had a little smile on my face reading this line: "If you already know his name, chances are you've been doing something illegal."

An early form of web site where all pages were static, and hyperlinks had to be operated manually.

I still use forums a lot especially for subject related issues. It's a total different medium then a social network so I don't think it's fair to compare. I still think that forums are a huge part of the internet.

yeah I have to agree I often think they are over looked.
