Twitter Down due to DDos attacks – Day 2

August 7th, 2009 DaReaper

It was seen that twitter has been down yesterday , along with Facebook and LiveJournal due to the long DDoS attacks on their servers. Facebook some how did manage to get back up and provided users with their fast loading web pages even after the attack.

Twitter and LiveJournal went down hard, Facebook stayed mostly online but was clearly under strain

Now, nearly 24 hours later, Facebook and LiveJournal appear to be performing normally. But Twitter is down completely and has been for the last few hours. All third party services have been completely unusable for the last 20 hours or so (Tweetdeck, Seesmic, Power Twitter, etc..), bringing down the entire Twitter ecosystem. The Twitter.com site itself hasn’t been reliable either.

Paula Abdul Quits American Idol

August 5th, 2009 DaReaper

Paula Abdul is leaving “American Idol” after eight seasons of damaging the show’s credibility while simultaneously helping its popularity, a fascinating accomplishment.

Her departure, which she announced Tuesday night via Twitter, is the best worst thing that could happen to America’s most-popular television show. It will leave the show forever changed, either sending it quickly toward its inevitable end in a few seasons, or jump-starting a new era in which it refocuses on music instead of personality.

Back in 2002, when “American Idol” debuted, Paula Abdul was brought on board for her 1980s pop-star background, to bring the program both credibility and name recognition.

Today, seven years later, she’s defined a reality competition judging archetype, the supportive mentor, although no one has come close to offering her brand of emotional and genuine but also odd concern for contestants.

Google to buy On2 – Web Video Codecs

August 5th, 2009 DaReaper

Google on Wednesday took another step in its Web video strategy by announcing its intention to buy On2 Technologies, a creator of high-quality video compression technology.

Google engineering director Jeremy Doig said in a statement issued Wednesday morning that he could not talk specific product plans, but that Google was in favor of improved Web video.

“Because we spend a lot of time working to make the overall web experience better for users, we think that video compression technology should be a part of the web platform,” Doig wrote. “To that end, we’re happy to announce today that we’ve signed a deal to acquire On2 Technologies, a leading creator of high-quality video compression technology.”

On2 claims that more than 2 billion units of its On2 Video VPx codecs, which include On2 VP6 for Adobe Flash Player and JavaFX, On2 VP7, and On2 VP8, have been installed. Customers include Adobe, AOL, Skype, Nokia, XM Satellite Radio, Sony, Yamaha, TI, LSI Logic, Analog Devices, VideoEgg, Brightcove, and Cox.

“In the meantime, we expect nothing to change for our customers and partners,” John Luther, director of marketing at On2, in a blog post. “We’ll continue to do our best to provide the great technology and service that our customers expect, and we look forward to signing on the next generation of customers to On2 video. We remain as committed as ever to serving you.”

The company said it expects the deal to go through by the fourth quarter of this year. It’s still subject to review by stockholders and all the relevant government agencies.
