Raffaele De Rosa Spectacular Non-Highside

Rafaelle de Rosa almost highsided himself off his bike in the 250cc qualifying session at the 2009 Mugello race, but somehow he manages to steer the bike back on track, climb off his knees, and continue on. 10/10. Some people would say I could learn a thing or two from him!!! 😉

Daybreakers: Movie Trailer [Not Twilight Disney Crap]

Vampire movies rock. Gotta love em. Nothing is quite so entertaining as avoiding sunlight, crucifixes and wooden stakes and sporting a couple of fangs and some superhuman abilities. But I’m not talking about the vamp movie with the emo fag and his pale girlfriend from High-School-Musical-meets-Underworld Disney hit, Twilight. There’s a new one on the horizon – Daybreakers, and it looks pretty damn good.

Edward Dalton is a researcher in the year 2019, in which an unknown plague has transformed the world’s population into vampires. As the human population nears extinction, vampires must capture and farm every remaining human, or find a blood substitute before time runs out. However, a covert group of vampires makes a remarkable discovery, one which has the power to save the human race. “

Pirate Bay Sold, Founder Sunde to Retire in Cape Town?

Napster, Inc.

So the hot news on the interwebs is that the world’s largest torrent tracking site is due to be sold to a private Swedish gaming firm, who will attempt to turn the service legit. Shades of Napster‘s demise loom large, but hopefully this time the record companies and the motion picture association have a bit more foresight and don’t attempt to bully their way completely out of the online era. I’ve always maintained I don’t mind paying a few bucks for legit downloads from a decent music download site.

Whether this is a good thing or not remains to be seen. We’ll have to watch closely as it plays out over the coming months, which means that Peter Sunde’s visit to South Africa to keynote at iWeek 2009 should prove to be a hot event.

One does wonder how he’ll skip out of Sweden with a jail sentence hanging over his head. Perhaps he’s got himself one of those easily obtained fake South African passports?
