Feed the animals BEFORE you do the stunts.
When idiots mess with Alligators.

This is a fine example of why you shouldnt screw with Alligators. Well if you are going to screw with them, you should at least make sure they ain't hungry, or pissed.

FileSharing?
Suprnova.org Gone For Good?

The shutdown of suprnova.org rocked the file-sharing universe this weekend. The now-dead site posted links to various BitTorrent files, placing it directly in the crosshairs of the entertainment industry. Searches on "suprnova" jumped 311% as file swappers tried to reach the vanished site. As news spread throughout the file-sharing community that suprnova was no more, traders searched furiously for alternatives to get their fix of illicit downloads. A sampling of the spikes we saw included:

Torrent Sites (+459%)
BitTorrent Sites (+304%)
Torrents (+290%)
Torrent Files (+285%)
BitTorrent Downloads (+281%)
Torrent Download (+256%)
Bit Torrents (+255%)
Torrent Reactor (+229%)
Torrent Search (+216%)
BitTorrent Files (+171%)
Lokitorrent (+280%)

Judging by this weekend's searches, the demand for another torrent directory is intense. But with the MPAA on the hunt, will another site owner brave the specter of lawsuits? To find out who steps into the void of torrent aggregation, we only have to keep a close eye on searches.
