Laptop/Netbooks vs Tablets

Both these two trendy gadgets are still very useful in our current technology. Laptop's and Netbook's had been the second go to device next to your computer. But now tablets are available we can either choose what to use depending on our needs.

Well based on some experiences all I can say that Tablets have an edge over Laptop's and Netbooks nowadays. Recently Tablets are leading when it comes to the services the users are getting.

Work in an instant - When you are using your laptop or netbook the first thing you should do is switch it on. And then you have to wait for it to load to your desktop before you can start. When you are using your tablet it's totally different. Just one click on the button presto! you can start right away.

Traveling - When people are traveling one common rule is followed. "Travel light" bring what you need along the way and if you are a constant traveler tablets would suffice your needs. Practically who wants to bring a bulky laptop with it's charger while traveling for long hours. Plus Tablets are more light compared to laptops and netbook's.

Battery Life Span -  This aspect I assume tablets definitely owned this one. The battery life span of continuous usage around 10 hours. We all know that laptop's and netbooks can have unlimited usage if you directly plug the cord as the source of power. But that's a different story and does not apply when you are traveling.

Heavy applications - Well in this part laptops are way ahead when it comes to tablets. Since laptops are designed to have heavy system requirement's from applications.

Keyboard - When it comes to this part it's a tie and both devices are equal. Since tablets can use a keyboard by inserting it on the USB port. And laptops/netbooks also have built in keyboard for the users to use.

Pirate Bay on it's 10 anniversary

One of the most notorious and relentless torrent sites The Pirate Bay celebrated their 10th anniversary. This has been a milestone for Piratebay and no other torrent sharing site reach this a decade. Piratebay has been tracked down by authorities but someone found it's way back.

And those decade of raids, ups and downs were part of the pirate lives. The site continued their services from sharing copyrighted files(movies, music, etc). PirateBay stood among other torrent sites that failed to continue their services.

As other sites that were taken down were not able to make a comeback. Among other large sites that had the same influence and popularity were:

Mininova
kickass
Demonoid

These sites had a huge online users and active community. But the moment the authorities track them down they were easily dismantled. And these sites were not able to find another way to expand or start all over again.

A lot of challenges for Piratebay  and number one was how they will deal with the authorities. And also how to maintain those intact community that they have. But all those online supporters kept supporting them. Since everyone wants something free that they can download on the internet. And that's their purpose of showing continuous support.

Authorities are still continuing to track down other file sharing sites. But Piratebay stood still and kept coming back as usual. Piratebay continued their services the pirate way bay hiding behind cloak and stealth approach.
