The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, a book I’ve mentioned in other posts, is now making it’s rounds of the art house cinemas (and the torrent networks). All three movies have been filmed and released in Europe, but only the first is out now in the USA. Of course a US version is being prepared, [...]
One of the greatest apps for the iPhone is TVUPlayer. It’s a peer-to-peer television application that lets you watch TV from around the world.

In 1971 £4 million robbed from a British Bank, including pictures of a ‘royal person’ in a compromising sexual position, several cabinet ministers photographed in a brothel, and a spreadsheet of corrupt policeman at Scotland Yard.
