In short, The Pirate Bay wants to pay you for file-sharing. Hans Pandeya, Global Gaming Factory's Chief Executive Officer told the BBC that users would also have to pay to download the files they want, and royalties would be paid to the copyright holder. But the upside is TPB is also willing to pay you to keep your computer online and distribute the file to others once you've downloaded it. GGF's chief also envisions a day when TPB users form a P2P grid that can be harnessed for its storage and processing capabilities. What Pandeya didn't say, however, was how much users would get for sharing or how their contribution to TPB would be measured. Overall, Pandeya believes his scheme to pay for file-sharing would help users get past the fact they would now be paying for downloaded content instead of getting it for free. The new scheme would also appeal to content holders and Internet service providers, according to Pandeya, since torrent sharing technology negates the risks of server crashes and high bandwidth costs by distributing the traffic strain across a large group of seeders. http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/enterprise/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/infoworld/20090701/tc_infoworld/81726 infoworld/20090701/81726 InfoWorld technology Wed, 01 Jul 2009 12:00:46 GMT InfoWorld - Atlassian this week introduced FishEye 2, which adds social networking capabilities to source code repositories, including Subversion and CVS, and boosts agile programming projects. http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/enterprise/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/pcworld/20090630/tc_pcworld/chambersunfazedatdisruptedspeech pcworld/20090630/chambersunfazedatdisruptedspeech PC World technology Tue, 30 Jun 2009 21:50:00 GMT PC World - Cisco Systems believes networking among doctors as well as among sensors in the field can help prevent pandemics, Chairman and CEO John Chambers said in a keynote address at the company's annual Cisco Live customer conference that was briefly disrupted by a protest and a technical glitch. http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/enterprise/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20090630/wr_nm/us_cisco nm/20090630/us_cisco Reuters technology Tue, 30 Jun 2009 21:41:19 GMT <p><a href="http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/enterprise/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20090630/wr_nm/us_cisco"><img src="http://d.yimg.com/a/p/rids/20090630/i/r145797072.jpg?x=130&y=83&q=85&sig=WE.1RNxFpP5j3kx3xAAAxg--" align="left" height="83" width="130" alt="Microsoft Corporation CEO Steve Ballmer (L) speaks to John Chambers, Chairman and CEO of Cisco Systems, during a panel discussion in New York August 20, 2007.
