CloudFire - Stealth P2P service, reveals itself to us...and maybe you!
A while back we wrote about a new super sekret stealth P2P file sharing for the masses service called CloudFire. Just to refresh your memories, CloudFire aims to let you share photos, movies, music, from your desktop right to the web. And not just to the web, but in a very lovely and seamless way based on the screens we've seen. They really want to make P2P mainstream. This is quite a hurdle to jump.
Their "manifesto" states that media shouldn't be a chore. It should be easy to create and share everything that you make to show other people. They want to make the act of uploading media files to outside servers extinct.
Rock on!
But when will we get to see it and play around for ourselves?
Now's the time. We were able to sleuth some invites to their private beta. Ok, they emailed them to us.
Just for you guys, the DLS faithful.
"But what do we have to do to get such an invite" you ask?

Who wrote a parody of a manifesto in 2001 that also has their hand in P2P?
UPDATE: Wow, that was fast. All 5 invites gone. Correct answer? Bram Cohen, creator of BitTorrent! We'll let you know if we get some more invites.
So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
