Wall Street & Pirates of the Caribbean

Nah, it's no longer Caribbean but Somali & Pirate Bay!
Quest blogs about them being jailed in Sweden, I mean those 4 men from Pirate Bay, that is.
As for the Somalis, well, we'll have to wait for the soldiers to do their work, I'm afraid.

Greed, the backbone of the movie Wall Street has now come full circle after 20 years post showing of the movie. We have the collapse of the credit market in Wall Street, we have the pirates along the coast of Somali & we also have piracy in the internet world.

I'm not so much interested in Wall Street or the Somali's pirates. This is something which is beyond most ordinary citizens' control or say. The internet offers another angle though. Collaborated effort is the essence of the internet. Well, at least the spirit of collaboration is what the internet is all about. YouTube is one good example of how much more life can be with it. Once in awhile though, when YouTube gets a BIG hit, embedding is being turned off. As with the case of Susan Boyle on Britains Got Talent. This however, is something everyone got to watch. I've seen it 3x today & every single time, I'm truly inspired! As of this writing, there has been over 25 million hits!
