Commit Web 2.0 Suicide

Web 2.0 Suicide Machine

Who doesn’t love being on the latest social networking site?

That’s what I thought.

…but, if you are one of the millions that are on Facebook, Myspace, twitter, and wish you had never joined; don’t worry.  There is hope.

A friend of mine was going out for a job interview with a very important company.  Of course he had a profile on Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, and a few others.  Being worried about evidence of activities they wouldn’t like for obvious reasons he had to go through and scrape as much of his pictures, status updates, friends, etc that he could.  My friend spent a good day removing whatever he could find. Of course, this could have been easier..

The Web 2.0 Suicide Machine will take care of all the work for you.  The automated website / script will login to your accounts, remove all your friends, remove all status updates and tweets, and make your profile and information completely private and removed.  Basically, it kills your “social network” profiles.

If you watch South Park at all, you already know about this and probably wondered, “Hm…I wonder if it’s real” and I can assure you it is.  The only difference is you won’t be sucked into a Tron 2.0-like Facebook internet mall environment where everyone ignores you while you are transported by Facebook-Guards.

If you are wondering which episode of South Park this was featured on follow the link below to download the episode via ThePirateBay.

Cover Your Tracks! : Hiding Your Bittorrent traffic and Protecting Your Privacy

by amp on Jun.05, 2010, under Pro Tips

Keeping yourself hidden from the prying eyes of big brother is a big deal to a lot of people.  Mostly this idea makes itself visible the more and more one hears about Cease and Desist notices from ISP’s warning about Dreamworks, Microsoft, and other major companies watching them download movies and music.

Although BitTorrenting has many many uses as a legit method of acquiring files it is not always illegal.  What is it exactly?  It’s a protocol and it is up to you whether you are using it for legit purposes or not.

I will admit I do seed quite a bit of stuff.  Mostly it tends to be various free stock photos from various websites or one of the most popular; brush packs I have compiled for Photoshop.  These are both two things you could legally seed as they are freely available for download on the internet.

Lets say you want to hide your traffic as best as you can anyways…  Here are a few methods. (continue reading…)

Got another one for you, this time it’s real quick.  A few simple steps and less than two minutes later you can have this wonderful drawing outline you can use to cheat in your art class.  This tutorial can make it extremely easy to trace or just use as sort of a stencil to color in, paint, etc.

No need to use 3D Editing programs to make perfect 3d spheres. You can use just photoshop. Also, no need to use that nasty bevel/emboss tool. =)

If you can’t distinguish what I am clicking on the video, watch it directly on YouTube.  You can set it in HD.
