When YouTube Starts Killing Off Video Download Tools...

This is making me sad YouTube is starting to kill those Video Download Tools. First they sell out. Then they have their copyright bull**BLEEP**, and now, we aren't able to download them for free?? What's next? Will we have to pay to have a YouTube account?!?!

But still a good thing to know that they're only targeting those sites that give you download links. You can still use programs to rip the streams with no problem. I'll be providing a list of programs soon that would still work for downloading youtube videos for free even high definition videos will do.

youtube fail

Since when do you have a right to make us pay for every video we see? Nothing. Couple of retards like you don't deserve to live in a mansion, but instead, you should be in your filthy rooms like homeless peasants, YouTube.

The Video Download tool in my sidebar will no longer work... well, that's courtesy from TechCrunch Download YouTube Tool. Well, thanks to them. Hope TechCrunch can get it back up and running it soon as possible.

Friendster Integrates IM

Friendster IM officially launched its Instant Messaging feature last February 18 released in Alpha Version - meaning the developers are generally testing the software with the client and the test environment is not open for the end user. That's why the feature is currently available only in the US and Singapore. The intended users like the Indonesians and the Filipinos which dominates the Friendster globally are still waiting for this feature to be available to them upon logging-in.

Too late for the friendster developers because almost all social networks does have this feature already.

Downloaders Beware!

After all the raids on Lapu-lapu and Mandaue shops, and even corporate offices in Ayala Center Cebu, the anti-piracy suits are aiming squarely at end-users. The Inquirer has reported that the Pilipinas Anti-Piracy Team (PAPT) will be going after those individuals downloading music, movies and software over the Internet, even if they do so for personal use. Personally, I'm in trouble with this issue because "I Am Downloader" of most illegal stuffs in the internet. Yes! I admit that.

But we're talking hundreds of thousands, or maybe even millions of folks here. My question is, do they have enough legal funds to keep their lawyers happy? Do they have the patience to see all these potential court cases through in our painfully slow justice system? Even the RIAA, which did a similar campaign in the US suing music downloaders left and right, has changed its tactic because 1) it didn’t work, they weren’t able to scare people from downloading, and 2) it was costing them a fortune.

Another thing going against them is that currently, there’s no law that categorically says these downloads are illegal. The country’s Intellectual Property Code is silent on the issue, as well as the more recent E-Commerce Law. They’ll have to lobby in Congress for this one. However, even if they do manage to amend these laws, that fact is that people’s perceptions and expectations when it comes to digital content has changed, especially the younger generation. Companies can still make money out of them, but they’ll need to evaluate their business models to keep up with the times. A little creativity on their part is called for. Beware: beating people into submission will only earn you enmity.

w3c markup validation - Is it really needed?

w3c validation
Today, I would like to talk about W3C XHTML validation service.This service checks the XHTML of your website and reports you if your web page have any error or warning according to standard of W3C. If you are talking about this website currently you’ll find 687 Errors, 316 warning(s) and frankly I’ve never been bothered about correcting those errors of XHTML because it takes a bit of time and believe me I’m a very lazy boy. In this post, I would like to show you an interesting data of W3C validation among the top rated websites. You’ll be amazed to come to know that they’re also lazy like me.

W3C XHTML validation of Big websites.

big websites

As you can see in the above stat, Microsoft’s websites only cared about W3C validation. Other websites are not really worried about this validation. I’m even wondered above stat from Google which don’t have much elements in their home page but a search box and some hyperlinks.

Is XHTML validation really needed in your web page?

I’m not the person who can decide weather the XHTML validation is really needed or not in you web page. But you know web designers spent a lot time for XHTML validations of each page. Do you think it really worth ? Why the big guns website doesn’t follow the W3C standard? Is your website is XHTML valid ? Please share your thought.

24/7 McDelivery: McDonald's Online Delivery in Cebu









McDonalds Delivery
McDeliveryMcDonald's Online Delivery is finally here in Cebu (Good news! For lazy people like me...hehe). Other areas to serve are Davao, Laguna (San Pedro and Sta. Rosa), Lipa, Pampanga and Tarlac but only available 24 hours in Metro Manila and Metro Cebu (Mandaue and Lapu-Lapu) because I think people in these two cities are mostly glued in the internet, busy or lazy enough to drive.

This early afternoon of this V-day or Hearts day, I tested it when I order for our merienda. Curious enough if it really works or not. Hehe... But we were impressed, we got a call from their Call Center a few minutes after I was done ordering and took around 20 minutes upon delivery when our meal was delivered right in our doorstep.

I guess McDelivery is not the first online ordering service here in Metro Cebu. MyJoy started in 2007 but delivers only in weekdays and service hours.

Satisfied! Very satisfied! Ordering online is free! Delivery might costs you few extra pennies but their service is totally worthy! Minimum order is Php165.

If McDonalds McDelivery is not available 24 hours in your area, you can try their other McDelivery contact numbers below:

Fastest Pinoy SpeedCuber is an Iliganon

JB Cañares
James Benedict “JB” Cañares, a Management Accounting student of USC is the current Philippine record holder for standard speedcubing in just 10.68 seconds! He's a certified BisDak (something we should be proud of) from his hometown Iligan and one of the two Philippine delegates for World Cube Association. The record breaking event was held on April 19, 2008 at the University of San Carlos - Main Campus, Cebu. He just actually broke his own record of 14 seconds. Talents from Iligan are surprisingly great! I remember my schoolmate who was once a Philippine Representative in World Cyber Games in Korea.

Personally, I'm not fond of this speedcubing even though it's a prevailing trend in our school. I just observed my friends and watched them how to solved it. It's quite tricky but then if I have just the time, patience, interest and extra amount of determination like JB, I know I can do it or anyone can. You don't have to be a Math Whiz, as JB said in an interview in which I agree.

Now, watch closely how he managed to solve the rubik's cube in less than a minute.



JB solving with one hand only...



You can visit his online profile in Youtube or you can read his interview at USC website.

The current world record for single time on a 3x3x3 Rubik's Cube was set by Erik Akkersdijk in 2008, who had a best time of 7.08 seconds at the Czech Open 2008. He also holds the record for 4x4x4 cube. The videos below prove those feats.

What is the Third Largest Blogger Nation?

You might guess, our country Philippines? Because we ranked third in english speaking fluency. But actually this country is located somewhere in the middle east. That's a clue before you may google the answer. It ranks behind China and USA and has 700,000 blogs in 2005 and 100,000 actively maintained and still active today. Filipinos can't beat that because we're not fond of blogging but mostly into socializing and meeting new friends online like in Friendster and Multiply.

It took something exceptional to snap me out of my several-month blogging slump. I found this on twitter from @marshallk Iran: A Nation of Bloggers a powerful 2 minute video.

Half of Iran's population is under 25 and they are not happy with the oppressive regime. They blog about it, most anonymously for fear of imprisonment, but some are bold enough to speak out. I did not realize that Iran is the third largest blogger nation. Good stuff! Let Social media bring democracy to the masses, Obama style!

Check out these videos.



But some of their prominent bloggers like Hossein Derakhshan, known as "BlogFather" has been detained and arrested of espionage.




More infos in Rotten Gods. And you'll find the blogs of Iranians here in this website Blogs By Iranians.

Wanna sign-up with a Facebook Clone?

facebook clone

They called it as "F*ckbook" aka Facebook clone. One of my online buddies, private messaged me last night about the Facebook source code he got. He showed me the site and it was pretty amazing at a first glance as shown above (The URL is hidden for security purpose), it really looks like the original Facebook specially the homepage. But, when I signed up there was some features that the clone lacks from the original FB like:

1. photo tagging
2. mobile applications
3. photo printshop
4. image reordering and upload by java uploader
5. poke system
6. shortest path

Over-all, I can say it has a good resemblance. But nothing really beats with the original because things like this will never turn out better. For me, this is not a form of stealing but somewhat creating a similar version with the real one.
