5 Centimeters Per Second



“Do you know?“

“The speed at which cherry blossoms fall…“

“5 Centimetres Per Second.”

“5 Centimetres Per Second, a chain of short stories about their distance.” is a compilation of 3 independant short stories that revolves around the life of a boy as we slowly observe the changes in his life from the early 90’s all the way up to the present, devoied of Shinkai’s typical sci-fi/fantasy settings.

The graphics are to die for, this the epitome of the hand drawn style we associate with Japan, revolving around the theme of distance, the film is anything but Cherey but would a rose not smell so sweet?

Bleach Anime



Thanks to TV-Links all I have done for the last three nights is watch Bleach,

Bleach revolves around the 15-year-old Ichigo Kurosaki (黒崎一護), a Teenager with an unusual power--the power to see ghosts. However, this power is turned against him on one fateful night when he meets Rukia Kuchiki, a shinigami (死神 - Death God / Soul Reaper). Suddenly, Ichigo is thrown into a war between the good guys (Soul Society) and the Bad Guys (the Hollows). Together with the help of Chad, Orihime, and Ishida, will Ichigo rise and destroy the corruption within Soul Society itself...?
I have to say I am likeing what I have seen so far, its shame we never get any anime in uk not unless its kids stuff :( Any way there is a nice site where you can dl the ep's don't know how long they stick around for as TV-Links only goes to ep 40 atm, bleachanime.org

Flickr Porn




Yep that's right Flickr is full of porn, and not the sort you think, Its all high quality porn. There is a huge underground network of people uploading porn, on a huge scale. I have one contact who has uploaded 30k of images and that just of one guy.

Now you can not just go around searching for this porn, especial not since Flickr implemented "safe search" and content filtering, it's all been locked away under the contact system.

Basically all the images are up loaded as visible to friends only, so you have to be someones contact to be able to see them the images are not searchable, and the only possible way to stumble upon the images is to join some of the sex themed groups.

If some one who has marked an image "Friends only" submits an image to a group you can see the thumb nail while browsing that groups thumb nails but when you click on the thumb nail you get the massage "This user has no images available to you.".

Odds are that if you mark this person as a contact they will mark you as a contact back, and you will now be able to see all their uploaded smut. It does not matter what sort of contact you make them, as it is the type of contact they make you that lets you see their images.

To get you started you can try adding, comeinplz (For images of ladies and lesbians with huge tits. Thou he has only just started out so does not have that much atm.) or you can try jeansgay56 (For gay porn).

I found once one of these people adds you as a contact then more and more come out of the wood work and you get lots of random people adding you as a contact, all uploading porn for free.

DRM Die's A Death Even Before It Gets To The Shops!



Just in case you didn't already piece it together, many (if not all) of the new HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc titles set for release on May 22nd will feature the latest revisions to AACS. Right, the update hinted at by those forced user updates to the WinDVD and PowerDVD software. Yeah, well no worries... it's cracked. That's right, a week before the disks have even hit the shops, the kids over at Slysoft have already released AnyDVD HD 6.1.5.1 (beta) which kicks AACS MKB v3 swiftly to the curb. Thus you can continue to rip all your newly purchased HD DVD and BD flicks for playback any damn way you like. The update has already been demonstrated to work with an early-shipped release of The Matrix Trilogy on HD DVD and will likely work for Pirates of the Caribbean - Dead Man's Chest when it arrives on Blu-ray. Come on AACS LA, you're gonna have to at least try. Better yet, why not just give up this silly charade.
Hehe all I can say is that if any one deserves to lose millions of $'s its the MPAA and Hollywood, they treat customers like shit, I am sick of going the cinema and being told not to steel the film or tape it to take pictures of it and watch it on the net.

I mean come on I am the one who is paying to see the thing in the first place so why are they lecturing me?

Whats even worse is the crappy footage they claim to be what pirated DVD's are like, making it look like your watching it on a Mobile phone when we all know that you can get DVD quality footage off the net.

If they insit on over charging and covering the product in DRM then they deserve nothing but death.

Sheep sold as poodles

God this actually made me laugh out loud for a good 5 mins,

Thousands of Japanese people have apparently been scammed into buying "poodles" that are actually sheep with fancy haircuts. The scam was uncovered after actress Maiko Kawakami showed a photo of her pet poodle on TV and commented that it "didn't bark and refused to eat dog food," according to a Metro.co.uk article. After being informed that the poodle was a sheep, police lines rang with other rubes telling the same story. From Metro.co.uk:

'We launched an investigation after we were made aware that a company was selling sheep as poodles,' a police spokesman told The Sun.

'Sadly, we think there is more than one company operating in this way.

'The sheep are believed to have been imported from overseas - Britain and Australia.'



Thanks to BoingBoing for the fun.
