The Pirate Bay Interview
The Pirate Bay has also managed to survive a server raid on the behest of the entertainment industry back in 2006. While this would have all but eliminated any other tracking site, The Pirate Bay managed to get back up and running within a few days. Since that time, legal pressure has been mounting in Sweden. The prosecutor's office is building its case against Gottfrid Svartholm ("Anakata"), Fredrik Neij ("TiAMO") and Peter Sunde ("brokep"), the administrators of The Pirate Bay. Are the administrators concerned? Hardly. In typical Pirate Bay fashion, the administrators are laughing off the threat, confident that they'll ultimately prevail. How do they plan to pull this off? Slyck spoke with Peter Sunde, the spokesperson of The Pirate Bay.

Swedish prosecutors dump 4,000 legal docs on The Pirate Bay
As the calendar pages turned from 2007 to 2008, one constant remained for the motion picture and music industries: The Pirate Bay's willingness to ignore their threats (and copyrights) to the point that the Swedish group's site has become the go-to destination for torrented content on the Internet. But there may be dark clouds looming on the horizon for The Pirate Bay. Swedish prosecutors are close to bringing charges against admins Peter Sunde, Fredrik Neij, and Gottfrid Svartholm.

Beyond the Mac World, an Apple like prodigy for a purpose
Home décor is one activity that outrightly interests an individual. In the good old days, you would travel miles to get to the downtown décor store, of late, trends have reverted, and the home décor stores are coming to you. En route, we have churned out ways to give that personal impetus to our living space, creating things at our own level. Companies have their share in uplifting the statute.

1960s Braun Products Hold the Secrets to Apple's Future
The year 2008 marks the 10th Anniversary of the iMac, the computer that changed everything at Apple, hailing a new design era spearheaded by design genius Jonathan Ive. What most people don't know is that there's another man whose products are at the heart of Ive's design philosophy, an influence that permeates every single product at Apple, from hardware to user-interface design. That man is Dieter Rams, and his old designs for Braun during the '50s and '60s hold all the clues not only for past and present Apple products, but their future as well.
