I was taking a look in this new WordPress 2.0 Beta-1. I’ve installed it in my home server for testing, there is actually a bunch of changer and new stuff on admin panel. I just hope that all good wordpress plugins will work on this new version. I think while updating from 1.5+ to 2.0 will take some time from webmasters, but its totally worth it! Let’s just wait and see.
This is great news for me and my brazilan folks, Brazil is going towards fast internet for a reasonable price. Two weeks ago the brazilian cable company NET has released 2Mb/4Mb/8Mb internet speed for a low price, while other companies are offering speed up to 1Mb for R$200 (U$83), this new service will cost 2Mb/300Kbps for R$79 (U$33), 4Mb/600Kbps for R$99 (U$41) and 8Mb/1.2Mb for R$199 (U$82). The only concern is that with this cable company will limit bandwidth, 20Gb for 2Mb, 40Gb for 4Mb and 60Gb for 8Mb. And that is not much, for those who are 24/7 downloading things on bittorrent or in other P2P softwares.

FeedTree is a P2P java app that uses distributed bandwidth to push RSS feed content to users faster than traditional newsreaders that poll their feeds on a schedule. A poster describes graphically how it works … which is not to say I fully understand it. But I do understand that speed and timeliness are the payoffs here. Currently the installations process and user interface are rough going; the developers promise improvements. My eyes glazed over reading the command-line and port-massaging requirements to get this thing running, but if such technicalities are up your alley, this looks like an interesting new spin on both P2P and RSS. via [p2pWeblog]
Yes, that’s true! The deal is this, you buy 1000 bottles of pepsi, and finnish pepsi company will give you a Sony Vaio Notebook (don’t know the model). It would cost around 1500 euros, considering that a sony’s notebook would cost around 2000 euros, its a great deal, and you will stil have a bunch of pepsi to drink, or sell for a cheaper price.
