The venus-fly-trap-like plot unfolds as the crew leaves “unattended” iPods in high traffic areas, and is then shocked to see people walking off with them. With all d
UltraNewb: A beginner’s guide to BitTorrent:
Despite the fact that BitTorrent has been around for a good 6 years now, the lightning fast file sharing protocol hasn’t completely taken off in the mainstream. Since we post a decent amount about BitTorrent around here, we figured it was just time we put out a beginner’s guide to BitTorrent. This is the guide you can send to your friend next time he gets that glassy look in his eyes when you mention BitTorrent and how quick and easy it makes downloading albums educational, public domain videos and other large files.
