A friend recommended Gossip Girl, a not-so-new TV series (it was started some time in October September 2007) from CTV CW. The story is concentrated around the life of a group of privileged teenagers who attend an elite private school in New York City, based on a popular book series of the same title.
She bought a DVD (a pirated one :p) but won’t let me borrow it yet always makes it sound that it’s the best series in the world (for people who love teen flicks and college-life series), enough to strike curiosity about the show. So I have to resort to online viewing. Good thing I have PLDT as my ISP because I don’t have to wait for the clip to load.
I had a hard time looking for websites that will let me view the whole episodes for Season 1. YouTube only has clips of some episodes because of copyright issues. I stumbled over good sites like Sidereel, TV Live Shows, and FREE TV Online I’m glad I also found some of my favorite TV series like Grey’s Anatomy, House MD, and Smallville. A good number of movies could also be found.

Recently, I posted about GlobalPandora which allows non-US residents to listen to Pandora without using any proxies. However, due maybe to the million hits and overwhelming traffic from its international users (it was said that more than 50% of listeners are outside the US), they’ve been having server glitches and technical problems these past days. When I visit the site last night, the box was closed… again. *lets out a sigh*
Hmmm, could it be that my IP address was detected as US because I have successfully signed up using a US Zip code? I could access the original Pandora, though, through proxies. But, again, they are down for maintenance.

I found this good news from Hezron Mariano’s blog while blog hopping through Pinoy Entrecards.
Remember Pandora? A friend of mind recommended it to me and I got to listen to some songs before it was restricted to US residents only. Pandora radio is the personalized internet radio service that helps you find new music based on your old and current favorites under the Music Genome Project.
Well, here’s the good alternative to all non-US residents. The box is open! You can now listen to your favorite songs through GlobalPandora.
Note: After about 30 minutes of free music listening, you are still required to open your account and sadly it’s still exclusive for US residents.
But here’s what I did to make a free account:

Last February, J.K. Rowling announced that the seventh and final book of the Harry Potter series, entitled “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” will not be available as e-books. This was already the case of the previous books of Harry Potter.
Two reasons were cited by Rowling for not releasing electronic copies of the book:
1. She was concern about online piracy (which has never been a major problem for the Potter books),
2. And the desire for readers to experience the books on paper.
Although the first reason has minimized the online piracy of the book, it did not totally eliminate it. Copies of the previous versions, available in pdf and other e-book formats, were made available for downloads through P2P sharing programs. These were all user-made.

A YouTube video was posted (but deleted after few hours) capturing Beyonce fell in an Orlando concert last Tuesday when she stepped on her trench coat and then tumbled head-first down 12 steps at the Amway Arena. The video was leaked despite her request to the fans not to get it posted at YouTube or any video-sharing networks. However, one fan had uploaded a video capturing this moment in YouTube.
This video is no longer available in YouTube due to a copyright claim by Sony BMG but the video has spread to other video-sharing networks.
