The Pirate Bay is sinking!
Over the past few days the popular torrenting site The Pirate Bay has been down. It was a victim of a DDoS attack, the same form of attack that was used to take down government sites earlier this year. No one has taken credit for the attacks, but Anonymous has said that it wasn't them. The site was tipped off that the police were planning to raid the head quarters so the owners have already backed everything up. The site prides itself on being the only torrent site that will never be taken down. After their first raid in 2006 the site was only down for 3 days, even though 4 people were arrested. A recent upgrade to the site got rid of the popular .torrent files that it hosted and instead just linked to the files themselves on other sites. The entire website is now only a few hundred megabytes and could fit on the smallest flash drive. Needless to say The Pirate Bay isn't going anywhere.

$99 Xbox
Microsoft has released a new deal that they will offer. You can buy a 4Gb Xbox 360 w/ Kinect for $99. The only downside is that you have to sign a 2 year contract for $15 a month. Considering Xbox Live is $8 a month if you pay monthly you would end up paying $168 extra over 2 years. That means you will pay $267 for the console. Is it worth it?
