Release of naruto shippuden 67

Hey Naruto Fans,

This article on release of Naruto shippuden 67 has spoilers from previous episodes.

Naruto Shippuden is going to be aired on Tokyo TV today, after a lot of waiting its finally going to release Episode 67. It is one of the best anime shows according to me, others don’t grab my attention as this one (except for Simpsons)

The d-day for Naruto’s village, Konoha has finally arrived. The four masters of lightning technique are getting ready to perform their limelight technique which can wipe out entire Konoha village. Its because of Asuma that they have not been able to perform the technique. Not that these four masters are bad, but they were brought back from death by Furido, Fuka and team and thus they have to obey their masters orders.

This is all a mission to have one king for the fire country and that is the Feudal Lord. He wants to kill the Hokage and all the elite warriors of Konoha village. This would ensure that there would be no one to stop him from becoming the only king.

The back up has not arrived yet and most of them have gone to Hidden Rain village (ABNU). The elite squads are on their way. In Naruto Shippunden 67, Shikamaru Nara comes up with a plan to defend themselves, he figuers out that the main gate attack done by Furido and team was just a distraction.

In Naruto Shippuden 66, Sora finds out from Furido about the real plans to destroy entire Konoha village. He knew that Furido and team were the people who stole the corpse, he could have informed it to the monks of the fire temple who could have easily brought them all back and stop the entire massacre from happening. In one way Sora is responsible for this.

If Limelight technique is done the entire village will be wiped out, so its is most possible that someone will stop the four masters but who will do that is the main question. Maybe the ABNU will come back and stop them. But Furido and team have created a defence barrier around Konoha, so I wonder how ABNU or any other backup may get it. If not ABNU, then the Monks of the Fire temple may come in. The last option is Naruto turning into the four tailed beast and killing all the enemies along with some friends. Team Hawk also may come to the rescue (yeah right!).

I assumed that Furido and Team are part of Aktasuki because they wear the bamboo hats which is one of the Aktasuki trademark but in other website its not metioned that Fuka and Furido are part of the Akatsuki. After watching videos from Youtube its hard to catch up on who these guys actually are, so if you guys have any idea about it, do tell.

Em Posts will broadcast Naruto shippuden 67 online as soon as its released with fan sub. If I was based in Japan, I would broadcast it as soon as it comes not and I have no idea of how to speak Japanese, so the best I can do is put videos that have been subbed in English. You can expect the entire episode here, but due to copyright laws, it will be aired only for a day or two for your enjoyment. They have a monopoly and only Japanese are allowed to enjoy! I started watching Naruto on Cartoon Network and they have stopped airing it. I do see a lot of Naruto torrents though, but I think we are not allowed to download them and I respect the law a lot. Though there is no law as such in my country.

For all of you who didn’t know Tokyo TV delayed the airing of naruto shippuden 67, maybe becasue they wanted to create a hype about it?

Enjoy.

Video on how to download torrents

Hey,

In my last post I told you about making a video screen capture and in this post I have used that technique to show you how to download torrents using mininova and utorrent.

Mininova is a bittorrent tracker, it was called as supernova before an now the name has changed. It is one of the largest torrent trackers along with The Pirate Bay. I used Mininova because of its clean interface, it does not matter where you download the torrent from, the speed of the torrent depends on the number of seeds, more the seeds more the speed.

Utorrent is a software which can download the torrents. You have to add a torrent in it and it will use the trackers mentioned in the torrents to find seeds and peers and downloads the file for you. It is a need, light weight, free and a handy tool for file sharing and distribution. There is always misuse of good things, it happens with this too.

Most of the torrents on these websites are not legal so please be careful when you download torrents. Downloading copyrighted material is infrigment to IP and is a serious criminal offence but most of the people uploading or downloading torrents don’t care about it. I use torrents to download photographs by people, torrents are one of the best ways to distribute a large set of high quality photographs on a particular topic.

Websites like The Pirate Bay were sued many times and the house of the owner was also raided once but they really don’t care. Owner of the pirate bay lives in Sweden. According to Swedish laws websites like The Pirate Bay are legal and are not stealing intellectual property. It is correct actually, you can sue the makers of a gun company because it was used to kill someone, similarly these websites don’t ask people to upload copyrighted material, so when people do it, the companies should go after the ones who are seeding the files. This is my opinion, the companies might have a different point of view.

Reading the emails from companies to torrent websites was real funny. They use all hi-fi language to convince the owners to remove a torrent. Its best if they just say don’t allow people to download torrents which contain our software, intellectual property.

So coming back to how to download torrents, its pretty simple. First you need to download the torrent file from a website like Mininova.org then you’ll need a software like utorrent. Add the torrent file to utorrent and do as shown in the video.

The video has a pretty ok music and I didn’t fade away the music in the end, it just stops, sorry about that, I didn’t have time. Then I open scheduler settings in the last, you don’t have to do it, it was me starting the torrent, before it was scheduled to download from 2 am - 8 am, thats when the internet is free here. Any how the video serves its purpose of showing you how to download torrents.

This video looks kinda better in full screen mode.

Some useful links :

I also uploaded this video to rapidshare. The rapidshare version is of a better quality so that you can watch it in detail or modify the video and reupload it, yes you are free to do that. Agian I am telling you that downloading intellectual property without proper permission is illegal in the US and some other countries. The RIAA has already sued many people for downloading music files, a person downloading a torrent can be easily tracked. If some day they decide to track people using a particular torrent and they track you down, you can be sued (if you are the main seed).

Have fun using torrents!

Perform a video screen capture

Hey,

I am blogging this in the middle of the after noon cos I had done a screen video for my Hack Windows Xp blog, which is steadily growing now, using a software. When you want a video screen capture to share it with friends or put it into your blogs then what will you do? For example say you have to share a video on how to play a game with your friend, then you can simply send a video screen capture.

Do you know how to do it? This post will help you explore the best method to capture a screen video using a totally free software called CamStudio. I was so impressed with this software that I uploaded a video made in it on youtube and posted it on my blog so that I can show people how to do it.

CamStudio provides a very easy interface for you to work on and it makes stuff real simple too. It can record your videos in formats like avi and flash. To capture screen video you just have to press the red button and it will do the trick. You can record in avi format if you want to upload it to youtube or you can caputre it on flash to play it from your own web host. I will tell you how to play a video which is stored on your server in a webpage the next time.

CamStudio was a nice experience for me, it is a small program which is enough to do the video caputre. You can edit the video using Windows Movie Maker, which is there in every Windows XP PC.

Here are some things you can do with a video screen caputre.

  1. Capture a video of how good you are in a game and upload it to a video sharing website.
  2. You can show how amazing a software is by recording its work.
  3. Teach people on working around with different things on the computer.
  4. Your website will look very attractive with a video guide on working around with it.

Those are just some ideas, put your creative hat and find out all the different things that you can do. A video screen capture done like this is far better than those taken using cameras. First of all the quality will be very high and you won’t need a camera, tripod stand etc.. to take a video like this.

Many tutorial websites use this method to communicate with their users. Videos give a much better understanding of stuff than text. I did want to put a video on using CamStudio but I like writing more than showing videos of softwares, so I decided to write on about it.

I have uploaded this software to rapidshare. It is a free software and can be distributed freely to anyone provided that you give the credits to the rightful owners. It might be available on the website of the owners but I didn’t search for it, Rapidshare gives high speed anyway.

Download link for CamStudio : http://rapidshare.com/files/131793980/CamStudio.zip

Now that you know how to do it go have some fun, I already gave some creative ideas, you can share some of it here, if you have them. Feel free to share any videos that you have made too, visitors here will have fun seeing the interesting things that you can do.

Yesterday was a pretty rough day but I came out well, it was rough because of the political stituation in India, I made posts on this blog in the late night. Hope you had fun reading this blog post. I guess I have empowered you with the power to make your own video screen recording which you can share with the entire world.

Take Care and Have Fun!

Why is a spyware made?

This post is a part of our ongoing series on antivirus and antivirus software. Everyone knows that a spyware is made to steal data from computers or monitor someone to get information of what they are doing and stuff like that but that is just a part of the reason, not many know the real hidden ways in which those guys make money by making a spyware. That brings us to the main question which is why is a spyware made or how do people make money by making a spyware.

The main source of email ids for spammers is from a guy who spreads a spyware used to gather email ids from various people. A spyware can send all the email ids stored in your computer to the guy who spreads it and he then sells it to a spammer. Fashionably they call it email marketing. The spammers work on probability, they send emails to millions of people out of these atleast a thousand will buy their product and that profit is far greater than what it takes to send that many emails. These type of email sending spyware can collect email ids and then send themselves to the collected ones, infect that pc and again spread.

Online use age of credit cards and money payment systems like paypal is very common these days, so a special breed of spyware called as a key logger was made. The main reason why this spyware is made is that it can log all that you type using your keyboard and then send it to the guy who spread it. This way he can get you credit card information, back account details, email ids and all your passwords. Such spywares are used in various fields like identity theft and credit card fraud.

Many times I was sent emails where when I click the hyperlink it would take my to a website, when when I click a thing that looked like a video, it would download an executable file, which is a spyware or an adware. To stay away from that hassle never follow any link sent via email from an unknown person, it most probably is a spyware dropper.

Firefox, Google are doing a good job by telling if a website has a spyware, if someone is going to visit spyware dropper website, it will immediately warn us. This is very advantageous for the newbies of the internet. Note that this article is also written for newbies, we just want you to be safe.

A spammer from UK used these a spyware to gather email ids and used to send only twenty thousand emails a day and he used to make two million yearly, just from product sales. Products like WOW Gold, Cheap v.agra are sold this way.

Spyware can make your computer a slave of their network and ask your computer to send emails to others. This is not exactly a spyware but in genral we can call it that.

Now a spyware is not that bad too, not only spammers but parents also love it! There are many leagal spywares which can be used to moniter their children and find out what they are upto on the internet. Every thing bad has a good side to it. If the parents find the children doing something wrong, they can protect them and help them out, discipline them.

Government agencies, employers are also people who constantly use spywares. Employers spy on their employees and government agencies use it for all the spying activities, May be to spy terrorist computers!?

The best protection from all this is to install a good spyware removal tool and an antivirus software.
