Estos son los sitios que comenzarán a caer arrastrados por la ausencia de Megaupload

Todavía no logramos salir del shock del cierre de Megaupload y con el pasar de los minutos nos vamos dando cuenta del nivel de las repercusiones que este duro golpe traerá a los internautas que descargaban millones de archivos desde sus servidores.

Por si aún no habían logrado caer en la cuenta, ¿les suena un sitio que tiene por nombre Cuevana? Bueno, probablemente esta será la baja más sensible (al menos en Latinoamérica) entre los distintos servicios que se verán afectados desde ya mismo por la caída de Megaupload.

De hecho, el sitio aparece mencionado en la acusación contra MegaUpload, en conjunto con SeriesYonkis.com y Taringa entre otros. “Estos sitios ofrecían exclusivamente enlaces de Megaupload.com, todos mantenían un directorio de URLs para identificar copias de contenido con copyright que eran almacenados en servidores directamente controlados por la Mega Conspiración”, señala la acusación.

También se verán afectados Peliculasonlineflv.net, Veocine.es, Megarelease.net y Mcanime.net. Todos sitios que operan bajo el servicio de streaming de Megaupload. También el buscador Filestube se ve afectado con esto.

Y con esto del streaming, quizás ya está de más que lo mencione, pero es nuestro deber aumentar vuestro sufrimiento señalándoles que junto con el sitio madre, también dejarán de contar con todos los servicios de streaming de Megaupload, que básicamente se dividen en: Megavideo, Megalive, Megapix, Megabox y… ¡Megaporn!

Probablemente sea bueno comenzar a buscar nuestras tarjetas de socio de Blockbuster, desempolvar el DVD y encontrar el líquido limpiacabezales para el viejo y querido VHS…

Bueno, bromas aparte, los invitamos a compartir en los comentarios qué otros sitios se dieron cuenta que comenzarían a morir junto con Megaupload.

Vaya un abrazo fraterno para todos los viudos.

Turning Point

Hey there, this time I had to write a story about a turning point in my life. I have had several I must say, but this might be the one I like the most, hope you like it:


A Calm “Life or Death Situation”


Lying in bed, I was surrounded by many books that were waiting for me with their unknown exercises that had to be answered. Green walls with a white ceiling which had become dusty over time were all that I could see. The strong summer light of the giant heavenly body, burst through the door and the window of my square shelter. I decided while turning on the TV, that those exercises could wait. While flipping through channels, my body acted in an unconscious way. I had the odd habit of putting my eraser inside my mouth. As a child I used to buy my academic supplies in unordinary shapes, so my eraser was nothing but a spherical ball of green rubber whose funny shape helped mitigate the fact of finding out that I had a wrong answer or simply the fact of facing all that homework.

My eraser played joyfully inside my mouth; my teeth and tongue became close friends with the circular toy. I stopped channel surfing because I found one of my favorite TV shows. Suddenly they made a joke, I laughed, and my little round friend slid subtly down and son got stuck somewhere in my throat. I never got scared; I was so relaxed. I tried to breathe through my nose but, I could not do it; and then I tried through my mouth but I could not either. Up until that moment I did not know that my mouth and my nasal cavity were connected somewhere but, even having suddenly discovered this by myself, along with the fact that I would die in some seconds, I was still relaxed. I used to play a game with my father that consisted of holding my breath as long as I could and sometimes I could hold it for one minute and twenty-four seconds, despite my record, I had a life or death situation on my hands because I could not keep holding my breath. I stood up and I thought of going to the living room where my sister was because she is a nurse and she would have helped me with this issue. As I was walking towards her I thought “if she helps me and I am still alive after this, my mom will kill me for my irresponsibility”. So I turned around and decided to have a calm death in my room but suddenly something happened; I am not really sure what it was but I remember I made a kind of bow and I launched the green ball out of my entrails.

The air never tasted so good; I found its flavor sweet, cold, soft and satisfactory. My lungs were not large enough to breathe it all in. It’s reassuring to know that this story has been told many times, a story about how one day a little boy had only one minute and twenty-four seconds to face death.

Qu'est-ce qui M'indigne?!!!

Well this time I've been asked in French class to write a paragraph about something that bothers me. I really did not have any topic to talk about, I then I remembered something, a feeling I have had since long time ago, and I felt I could develop this thought with some tool I got this very last weekend:

Qu’est-ce qui m’indigne ?
C’est vrai que maintenant on entend parler de guerres et des révoltes partout ailleurs (dans La Libye, dans La Grèce, Aux États-Unis, Au Royaume-Uni, etc.) ; c’est vrai que jour à jour on trouve des maladies qui paraissaient incroyables mais ils existent déjà en effet ; c’est vrai aussi le fait de trouver des personnes qui font des actes atroces contre leurs propres peuples (les personnes qui s’immolent, d’autres qui tuent leurs enfants) ; les mortes des jeunes grandissant grâce a tous ces situations ou réalités de vie qu’ils vivent et que varient pour chaqu’un d’eux (les drogues, les conditions sexuelles, le refus) . Je sais qu’actuellement on peut regarder le monde, peut-être, comme quelque chose que dégoûte mais ça ne signifie pas qu’on peut reprocher Dieu tous ces situations là, et c’est ça ce que m’indigne. Les gens ne voient pas les bénédictions qu’ils reçoivent touts les jours. Qu’ils puissent s’élever, respirer, aimer, voir, écouter, parler, rire, marcher, s’amuser, rêver etc. ont devenu de choses inaperçues pour lesquelles on ne remercie pas, pour nous ils sont très communs mais ils ont été, sont et seront des cadeaux.
