The word pirate here refers to digital media pirates, not the sword swinging, parrot on shoulder kind of pirates or the modern ones with AK-47, grenade launcher, ship hijacking pirates. They don’t go ‘arrrr’ at each sentence when they speak either.
I am referring to people who download digital media, you know movies, TV shows, music, etc. Your typical Internet/computer users.
Here is a simple logic of why pirates are not thief. Theft removes the original. They snatch things or money. Piracy on the other hand makes a copy of the original.

Google is about to ignite a World Browser War II with the introduction of Google Chrome. Everybody on the Interweb is talking about the soon to be released Google based browser called Google Chrome.
No this in not just a skinned Firefox with integrations to Google’s API. It’s a brand new browser.
So what does Chrome has under its hood?

My prayers goes to people of New Orleans as they faces yet another great storm in which the outcome might be yet another massive flooding.
The tropical storm Gustav, which now had become Hurricane Gustav is said to be “the mother of all stroms” and it’s heading straight to them.
Reports are coming in of New Orleans evacuation. I can imagine that 2005’s Katrina memories are still fresh in the minds of the people of New Orleans as they evacuate their homes.
This also gives the U.S. government and New Orleans mayor a second chance to do something right. A second chance is the rarest commodities in a political arena and it looks like they are capitalizing it.

This will be a regular topic on Jiboneus.com. This blog is all about things I am passionate about, watching anime and reading manga is one of them. Even though there is a high risk of being labeled as an ‘otaku’, I’ll try to blog about anime and manga from time to time.
I’ve a lot of catching up to do when comes to anime. I’ve just finish watching the first three episode of Macross Frontier, and I am pretty excited for the rest of the series.
I didn’t expect Macross Frontier to live up to its predecessor, The Super Dimension Fortress Macross series and the rest of the Macross saga, so I was surprise of how good it was and I really had enjoy the first three episode.

No matter what the outcome of the by-election polling result at Permatang Pauh, Barisan Nasional will lose.
If PKR, Anwar’s party get the majority vote, then Anwar is one step closer to achieving his goal of finally becoming the next Malaysian Prime Minister.
On the other hand, if BN gets the majority vote, then Anwar and the rest of his gang will accuse BN of cheating and rigging the voting system. That has always been the response from the opposition party whenever they loses. Everybody knows that Barisan National can never win in a fair election, so they say.
Civil unrest occurs. ‘Pilihan raya‘ becomes ‘pilihan jalanraya‘. Whatever the result is B.N. loses.
Local media will cover this and the Anwar’s sex scandal case. The rest of Malaysia will be glued to this for a couple of weeks, or at least until Akademi Fantasia or other reality type TV shows steals the people’s attention.
Just my two cents.
