[Future] Google will launch its cloud storage service "very soon"

For some time it has been rumored to the existence and the launch of Google Drive, which would be a sort of direct competitor to Dropbox. In this file hosting service in the cloud Services, users with account of Google (almost everyone of you, right?) can access their files from anywhere. As we are used with Google Docs, but for all types of files.

Now, the newspaper The Wall Street Journal citing people knowledgeable about the issue, said that Google Drive would see the light within the next few "weeks or months" and this will also come hand in hand with an application for the Android mobile operating system for to access files from virtually anywhere.

Are they already a little tight on Dropbox or Box.net? No doubt the emergence of a service like this for as wide a mass of users (especially considering its application to enterprise level), integrating with other services and lowering prices.

Any new-new, we will be counting. Checkout Punk-tech alwayzzz!!! ;)

[News] Btjunkie, one of the largest sites to find torrents is being closed!

This year 2012 has been particularly controversial in relation to freedom to share files over the Internet, with the fall of Megaupload the most emblematic of January. And now in February, perhaps a second major blow was the closing year of btjunkie.org, the larger torrents search engine on the planet, who has decided to close operations voluntarily.

BTJunkie closed by leaving the following message on the front page of its website:

"Friends, this is the end of the road. The decision was not easy, but we decided to close voluntarily. We have been fighting for years for your ability to communicate, but it is time to move on. It was an experience of a lifetime, we wish the best to all! "

Btjunkie opened in 2005 and so far, had the database file larger: four million exceeded assets, with about 4,200 added every day, offering a service very similar to the index The Pirate Bay torrents around the world will no longer work more.

Btjunkie never been involved in legal action, but the recent cases of MegaUpload and The Pirate Bay, where the founders have ended up in jail, played a role in closing the site, as reported Btjunkie to TorrentFreak .

This means that storage services are really frightened by these cases. Many of these services have already been linked to copyright infringement by hosting or allow sharing of protected content. It is unclear whether there will be more services to close because of this, but we can not exclude that other sites take the opportunity to try to fill the void left Btjunkie.
