I read today on a newspaper that Wikipedia is going to launch its own search engine. (Wikiasari)

As I didn’t know too much about that I have searched on te www and I found this good article in techcrunch

The Internet Encyclopaedia claims it will beat the world?s most popular search facility (google of course) by revealing how it determines which websites are given priority (google refuses to do it).

They will try to take advantage of accusations that Google favours its advertising clients in search results.

Anyway? Competition is exciting and as I read today on microsiervos (spanish), definately agree!

Tomorrow in London, Gogol Bordello, one of the latest bands I discovered (thx Yannis).

Gipsy Punk that Rocks!! For sure is going to be f**g funny, they are amazing perfromers!

I don’t have tickets (Shit!), but no worries, tomorrow I am going to do my best to get a couple! I will tell you how did everything go…

Jaja! I have seen this video on a laptop’s friend and I can’t stand without posting it…

Against what I said few weeks ago PANDORA is RUNNING AGAIN and has been subject to a facelift (oleeeeeeee!)

By the way, I don’t know how I arrived today to Catman Cohen (songwriter and vocalist) but I have been listening his music during the day on the “new Pandora” and I like it so much, I have been searching on internet and as I read he used to play with fabolous artists too… for this reason I would like to find the piece where john mayer and catman cohen played together. I have read there is another one I am interested in where burt bacharach and catman cohen rock! if anyone knows where can I find it? I would appreciate it! Thx!

More from Catman Cohen on his myspace

Have a nice weekend!! In UK is bank holiday next monday! Ueeeee!!

YOU KNOW YOU ARE LIVING IN 2007 when…

1. You accidentally enter your PIN on the microwave.

2. You haven’t played solitaire with real cards in years.

3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of three.

4. You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you.

5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is that they don’t have e-mail addresses.

6. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home to help you carry in the groceries.

7. Every commercial on television has a web site at the bottom of the screen.

8. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn’t even have the first 20 or 30 (or 60) years of your life, is now a cause for panic and you turn around to go and get it.

10. You get up in the morning and go on line before getting your coffee

11. You start tilting your head sideways to smile. : )

12. You’re reading this and nodding and laughing.

13. Even worse, you know exactly to whom you are going to forward this message.

14. You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on this list.

15. You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn’t a #9 on this list.

Hehehe! Mmm… The 16. could be “GOOGLE BUYS FEEDBURNER…”

Pilun has just sent me this mail (the subject was: ‘FOR YOUR BLOG’), I think he is starting to get involved on this blog… thx mate!

Another google widget!

Few months ago I wrote a post about google and how was adopting new privacy measures to make it more difficult to identify people making online searches…

But today I read exactly the opposite! Google is planning to collect personal information on its users it will be able to advise them on what jobs to apply for and what to do on their days off.
They are on a race to create the most comprehensive database of users information so they will be able to attract more personalised adeverts.

“The goal is to enable Google users to ask the question such as, ‘What shall I do tomorrow?’, and, ‘What job shall I take?’”

Google is developing a service called google recommendations where the search suggests thing the user might like, based on their previous preferences. Amazing isn’it?

Privacy campaigners are concerned about privacy but google said that its personalisation services are optional. Mmmm…

At least they can only store information to two years!

I was thinking would be cool to have a button as in browsers to delete info/cookies/history… from google, what do you think?

My flatmate Pilun has sent me this text today:

“This blog has ruined my life! Before Fruco, my flatmate, started with this blog my life was bright and interesting! We used to have deep conversations, go to life gigs, drink beer and play football. All that is over now! He is all the time writing this fu**ing blog. I am so alone that I have started to talk to a sock! I hope at least you guys like it cause this blog has ruined my life!”

Of course! He is the one in the picture!
It’s not that bad mate…

Climate change is happening! We have a environment job!

I have received a good meme (a unit of cultural information transferred from one individual to another analogous) from Javier Ferraz which I think is an extraordinary contribution in the fight against global warming and all bloggers should get involved!

The message was:

translated as best I can

Here are my contributions (I am going to):

1. Recycle consistently
2. Buy organic food (not every day…)
3. Cut down on my car/motorbike usage

and encouraging other bloggers:

Joan Pinyol, Jason Clark, Jem Hem Acharya and astroasno used to comment on this blog… (come on guys join the eco-meme!)

It’s nice to know that I have helped with my 2 cents!

what the f**k is fair use? lately everyone is talking about the copyright… art and copyright!

via enriquedans I have found this interesting video from Eric Faden, Bucknell University’s teacher, that explains on a very original way the meaning of
fair use, using copyrighted material (video) from Disney without requiring permission.

Almost 10 minutes of pictures, songs, logos, scences from Disney that don’t violate the copyright laws at no time.

Oh my god! At last a proper politician! long live to Tanja Derveaux!

The Belgium NEE senate candidate, Tanja Derveaux, wants to heat up the environment with a very original and incredible promise: she guarantees a surprise to everyone who is registered on the list to join the 40.000 blowjobs that she has promised to on her provocative campaign by Internet. At least she has already posed naked? who knows?

“I am the leading NEE party senate candidate in Belgium. And due to popular demand, I will give 40,000 blowjobs to anyone who requests one on this page”

I think is going to be quite difficult voting, anyway! Shame I am not a Belgian to vote her! do you know if can naturalize as Belgian?

oh yes! a google search without adverts!! google bug or a bonus for the user??

via lamateporunyogur (spanish) I have just realized that you can search google without advertising, even without sponsered listings.

To use it, you only have to append the parameter &output=googleabout to the url

An example:

google search of “hosting” before and after

Hey! Calm down!! Is not a porn movie! Although you should take care if you try to watch at it work, is a bit provocative…

1. 12% of all websites are pornographic
2. 28% search engines are pornographic
3. 35% downloads are pornographic mature
4. Every second, 28,258 internet users are viewing pornography
5. Every second, 89$ is spent on internet porn
6. “Sex” is the most searched word on the internet
7. There are an estimated 372 Million porn web pages
8. 260 new porn sites go online everyday

Mmm… Would be a nice idea to start a porn site, isn’ it? My father allways say me: “Give the people what they want”. Porn? ok then, Porn!!

There are many ways to raise your salary, but I think this one is infallible!

“if you don’t give me a big salary raise, i’ll tell the rest of the office that you already have”

Original text was translated from spanish: ‘Si mo me sube el sueldo le dir? a los dem?s que me lo ha subido’

If you think there is a faster,cheaper and easier way to raise your salary, please drop a line in the comments and let me know. I have not tried this one yet
