Fashion designer Giorgio Armani has opened up shop in virtual world Second Life, with a store modeled on his flagship location in Milan. Second Life residents will be able to buy items virtually with Linden Dollars — the currency of the virtual world – or they can connect directly from there to his recently-launched online store at www.emporioarmani.com for non-virtual vestments.
Google has turned 9 today. It was on September 27, 1998, that two Ph.D. students at Stanford gave the world a new search engine.
Today google indexes over over 25 billion web pages, 1.3 billion images, and over one billion Usenet messages and still gives us lightning fast results. The word ‘Google’ has even made it to the Oxford dictionary.

Demonoid.com, one of the most popular BitTorrent trackers has allegedly been taken offline by the Canadian Recording Industry Association (CRIA). Both the tracker and the website have been un responsive for more than 48 hours now.
It is possible that Demonoid’s Canadian ISP pulled the plug after being pressured by the CRIA. The ISP said before that they would take it down if they would receive complaints.
Demonoid tracks over a million .torrent files and is the second largest BitTorrent tracker after The Pirate Bay. The shutdown of the site and tracker is a huge blow for the BitTorrent community that lost 2 of the most popular BitTorrent trackers (TorrentBox was taken offline for US users a few hours ago) within 24 hours.
The CRIA and Demonoid’s ISP refuse to comment to the allegations, they don’t confirm or deny anything.
