Tools to Automate RapidShare Downloading for Free Users With No CAPTCHA

RapidShare CAPTCHA has always been hacked no matter how tough they made it. Usually whenever RapidShare updates their CAPTCHA, it only took a few days for third party download tools to auto recognize it. One of the toughest CAPTCHA was with cats and dogs in them and it took 3-4 weeks to be cracked. A few days after the cats and dogs CAPTCHA has been cracked, RapidShare installed a new CAPTCHA system called TEABAG_3D.

Can There Be 'Wow' in Vista Marketing?

Yesterday's Microsoft marketing bravado is just too funny. So now, 17 months after general availability, Microsoft will promote Windows Vista? Get a life. The big talk and promises came from Microsoft's Worldwide Partner Conference, in Houston, where Brad Brooks fessed up about Vista marketing mistakes and promised there would be response to Apple's "Get a Mac" ads. They say that confession is good for the corporate soul. I say that it's not good enough.

Microsoft should never have abandoned the original "Wow" Windows Vista marketing campaign. It brought new meaning to the term "marketing blitz." The campaign flashed by before anybody could blink and say, "Wow." Even if Microsoft executives loathed the ads, better to keep them than have nothing. I remain convinced that the Vista marketing campaign could have been very effective. The TV commercials were aspirational, potentially creating positive feelings about the then-mysterious Windows Vista.

The Vista wow becomes a whisper

I wasn’t a big fan of the “Wow” campaign around Windows Vista. But its newest incarnation “100 Reasons Why Everyone’s So Speechless” might be even worse.



The new site lists 100 reasons users should take a closer look at Windows Vista. No. 1 is “It makes using your PC a breeze.” No. 100 is “Because your network is the backbone of your business (Network Diagnostics and Troubleshooting).”



When Microsoft launched Windows Vista in January, execs knew they needed a succinct way to explain why users should upgrade to the new OS. Not a list of 50 reasons. But something that would roll off the tongue of salesclerks and PC makers in a 30-second pitch.

Attendees will be treated to a celebratory lunch at Manhattan's famous Cipriani restaurant, followed by the actual launch event at the Nokia Theatre in Times Square later in the day.

Gates goes on to say that millions of people--Microsoft employees, developers, customers, bloggers, families, media, the entire industry--"have come together like never before and added their own individual imprints to help make Windows Vista and 2007 Microsoft Office system the most tested products in Microsoft history."

Illegal downloading on downward track among US youth: survey

Illegal downloading of songs, software and other copyrighted materials from the Internet among US youth has dropped sharply in the past three years, a survey showed Tuesday.

The Business Software Alliance said its survey showed the percentage of young people between the ages of eight and 18 who acknowledged illegal downloads of software, music, movies or games fell from 60 percent in 2004 to 36 percent in 2007. In 2006 the figure was 43 percent.

The survey found the reasons for not making illegal copies was fear of accidentally downloading a computer virus (62 percent), getting into legal trouble (52 percent) and downloading spyware (51 percent)...

New Vista Slogan for CES

It's not surprising Microsoft will be touting Windows Vista at the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. But the slogan the company has chosen to tout its new version of Windows may catch some off-guard.

There will be an entire Vista pavillion outside the main convention center, dedicated to showing off Vista and new Vista machines.

Additionally, according to a couple of sources, Microsoft is using as a key component of its Vista marketing material the phrase: "WOW!" "When you see it, you'll say it."

Supposedly, we'll all see a lot of that message over the next week on banners all over Vegas.

Study: EU Kids Ignore Risks of MP3 Sharing

A European Commission study has found that children in the EU know that downloading pirated music is illegal, however they justify it with a wide variety of excuses. Among the most popular were that everyone was doing it; downloads were for their use only; and that CDs and DVDs are too costly. Many didn't believe that downloading harms the artist at all.



The threat of legal repercussions is not what is stopping many from downloading pirated MP3s. In fact, many cited the risk of infecting their computers with a virus as a bigger deterrent. Almost all polled said they also planned to continue downloading music.

Microsoft Secure Content Downloader July 2007 CTP Available

The Microsoft Secure Content Downloader (MSCD) is a peer-assisted download manager capable of securely downloading specific files. MSCD is intended for consumers who are downloading from a home PC, or business users whose computers are not behind a corporate firewall.

Main features of the MSCD are:
This version of MSCD is a Community Technology Preview, and will only allow you to obtain current Visual Studio 2008 Beta 2. Since it is a Community Technology Preview, additional information related to MSCDs performance and network transactions -- including your machine name and IP addresses -- may be logged to help evaluate and improve MSCD performance.


The MSCD CTP is scheduled to run for no more than four weeks, expiring as early as 23-August 2007. After expiration the MSCD client will not be able to download content.

Microsoft Vista security impresses IT staffers hot for NAC

About a third of them say they would use the NAC support in the Microsoft client software rather than pay more and deal with deploying and maintaining a client with more features that they have to pay extra for. Microsoft calls its NAC technology Network Access Protection (NAP)
