Hasta La Gadget!

The title says it all! Demonoid, a BitTorrent tracker, has been down since November 2007 when the Canadian Recording Industry forced them to close their doors. TorrentFreak reported today that the site would be resurrected under a new administrator, but I don’t think anyone was expecting that it would happen so quickly.

While it’s sad to report that Deimos is no longer in control of the site I’m definitely pleased to see it back up and running. I went to see if I could still hand out invites, but it looks like that system hasn’t been put back in place. I’ll keep an eye out so that when we do get some invites we can give a few out to some of our readers.

Other than that the site seems to be running pretty smooth. There haven’t been that many torrents uploaded thusfar today, but I’m sure in no time it will be re-populated.

Here’s the welcome back message that has been posted:

Since a few months ago, Deimos, the site administrator, lacks the necessary time to take care of the website, because of personal matters he’s been needing to attend to. For this reason, he has decided to leave the site staff.

Before leaving, he assigned a new site administrator from among his friends to take care of the site. The old moderator team will continue helping with the site, unchanged. We will try to keep running everything just as it always has been.

The trackers and website seem to be working properly, and should any issues arise, they will be taken care of as soon as possible. The site might be going on and offline over the next days as we work out any problems.

Welcome back, and enjoy your stay!

It’s really hard to believe that what’s often claimed to be the best private torrent tracker ever is once again active.

Google I/O is more or less Google’s answer to Microsoft’s Build and Apple’s WWDC, and today according to a post by Sundar Pichai, it has been revealed that Google I/O 2014 will be taking place on the 25th and 26th of June 2014. As expected the event will be held at the usual location, Moscone West, and the good news is that for those who aren’t able to attend, Google will be live streaming the event so you can catch it live in the comfort of your own home in front of your computer. Interestingly enough, it seems that instead of a first-come-first-serve system when it comes to getting a ticket to go, Google will use a lottery system.

Basically developers or attendees interested in going to Google I/O this year will have to submit a request. Google will then make random selections and those who have been successfully chosen will be able to attend the event. We guess in a way this is good as those who might be slow on the take or who might otherwise be busy with other things will still have a chance of attending the event as well. We’re not sure what Google will be sharing with us at I/O later this year, but presumably we can look forward to Android-related announcements, as well as changes/improvements Google will be making to their products/services, as well as other developer-related activities.

Smartwatches like the Samsung Galaxy Gear and Apple’s rumored iWatch are certainly fun products to think about. After all, who wouldn’t love the ability to check their notifications on their wrist instead of having to pull out their phone constantly, right? Perhaps right now wearable devices sound like a great idea, but what about long-term? Will people start getting used to the idea that they might need to charge their smartwatches every other day? After all with regular watches, you just put them on and you’re good to go as the batteries in normal watches tend to be good for months, if not years. (more…)
