Pirate Bay Unplugged By Swedish Court (Already Back Again, Sorta)
Like a T-1000 that just won't die, the Pirate Bay simply jumped servers after its ISP pulled the plug yesterday. Update: But the site bounced back (after some ups-and-downs overnight), and here's an excerpt from their defiant (and funny) response: More » -

Surprise! The Pirate Bay's Buyers Are Extremely Shady
Heroically snatched from near-death by a mysterious, benevolent gaming company, the Pirate Bay had a rosy future laid out ahead of it. But hey, that company? They're turning out to be kind of rotten, and possibly fraudulent. More » -

Fake Band Uses Stolen Credit Cards to Buy Own Music and Collect Royalties
In what probably seemed like a two-birds-with-one-stone situation (before the arrest, we mean), a 9-member British gang used stolen credit cards to purchase their own music on iTunes and Amazon, then collected the royalties—an estimated $300,000 total. More » -

Reader Mitchel Jones noticed something seriously wrong with the iPod display at his local Walmart. Is there another new iPod Nano? Has Apple finally abandoned its iconic wheel? The answer, as deduced by Mitchel himself, is much more depressing: retail fraud. More » -

Binaural Beats Audio Played Through Noise Canceling Headphones Supposedly Gives You a Drug-Like High
The site I-Doser makes the seemingly remarkable claim that playing binaural beats—pulses of two different frequencies that are slightly different into both ears at the same time—can give you a high that's on par with taking drugs. The Jerusalem Post claims that the concept has been around since the 1830s, but has only been perfected with the introduction of noise canceling headphones and better audio reproduction. More » -

Ex-Broadcom Chief Accused of Spiking Tech Execs' Drinks, Having More Blow Than Scarface
Henry Nicholas, co-founder of integrated circuits manufacturer Broadcom, has just been charged with spiking the drinks of other technology execs and maintaining a warehouse full of coke, meth and ecstasy. This is the latest incident for Nicholas, who in July 2007, was accused of constructing a sex cave so he could roll hard on ecstasy and properly love his prostitutes. In addition, Nicholas, along with co-founder Henry Samueli and CFO William Ruehle were charged last month on multiple counts of conspiracy, options backdating, falsifying reported income and securities fraud (BORING!). Call me a dreamer, but I'm still waiting for allegations involving a midget to work their way into this equation. Check out Valleywag for the full indictment document.[NYT]
