He decided to create a backup of the torrent tracker that anybody can download and use in the event it gets shut down. Using a script, he managed to copy the title, id, file size, seeds, leechers and magnet links of all 1,643,194 torrents currently hosted on the site. All the magnet links were compiled into a single text file which is 164MB in size and 90MB compressed. Who would’ve thought that one of the world’s largest torrent trackers would fit on a thumb drive? Hit the source for more info and a download link if you’re interested.

The app also has some advantages over the regular website: an enhanced user interface, offline mode, Bing integration, streamlined sharing, circle and search, swipe-through slideshows and photo galleries. MSN for the iPad is available now as a free download from the Apple App Store.

For those of you who have updated the game, let us know how it goes. For the full list of fixes and new features, head here.

“Thanks for your patience @bittersw8regene. Unfortunately the Nokia Astound on T-Mobile will not be updated to Nokia Belle.”

There was no explanation to why it won’t be getting the update – perhaps a move by the carrier to get its customers to purchase another device? Regardless, Astound owners will have to keep their fingers crossed for an unofficial way to update the phone if they’re hoping to see Nokia Belle on it. Any Astound owners out there disappointed by the announcement?

Unfortunately apart from its name, little to nothing is known about what Samsung’s plans are. The company has been known to put out a variety of gadgets that range from smartphones, to cameras, to displays and even kitchen appliances, so for them to launch a new camera would not be a stretch of the imagination. However the Galaxy moniker has so far been reserved for the company’s series of Android smartphones and tablets, which has us wondering if they are going down Polaroid’s path with a “smart camera”, or will they instead be launching a phone with an über camera that could match the likes of the Nokia N8?

The image appears to be a standup banner which Sony is known to favor and has revealed the title of the upcoming game to be “Little Big Planet Karting”. Unfortunately the details of what sort of features the game will bring to the table remain a mystery for now. Sony has not made any official announcement as of yet, but Future Shop also revealed that the company has plans to release an official PlayStation Move racing wheel, which we guess would most likely be compatible with Little Big Planet Karting. What do you guys think? Does the idea of Sackpeople zipping about in karts sound like fun?

While the Amazon Kindle proves that there is still life in E Ink (it’s still one of Amazon’s best selling products), the company definitely needs to innovate or come up with some sort of breakthrough soon. What do you think? Will E Ink displays be forgotten in a few years, or will there always be a place for it on the market?

Mass Effect Infiltrator is said to feature stunning graphics and authentic weapons and powers from the Mass Effect series, so fans of the game should feel at home. For those of you worried that you’ll need to play this game to unlock the “best ending” – fear not, BioWare guarantees that you won’t.

No mention of a release date besides the vague “soon”, but we assume it should be available before Mass Effect 3 is. As usual, Android users will have to keep their fingers crossed for a port of the game.

The state court in Duesseldorf mentioned that there were “clear differences” between the Galaxy Tab 10.1N and the iPad, although the tinted glasses which Apple sees through probably do not notice said differences. The long courtroom drama does not seem to end as both behemoths slug it out, but ultimately, don’t you think that a particular manufacturer should have more than enough confidence in one’s products that even if its competitors are “inspired”, those will not measure up to the original? I am glad that the Galaxy Tab 10.1N got the nod in Germany, it would be a pity if Apple were to suffocate all the other companies and exercise a monopoly on this genre of device worldwide. We consumers win out in the end if companies were given a fair chance against one another, as they will do their utmost best to deliver the ultimate device that technology can provide at that time.

The tuner features a retractable antenna which can be adjusted for reception and connects to your iOS device via the 30-pin dock connector. It even sports a micro USB port which you can connect to it and charge your device while watching live television. Subtitles can also be enabled/disabled and television shows can also be recorded, all of which can be done through the accompanying app. If you’re looking to get in on the action, unfortunately it appears that the Logitec One-Seg Tuner LDT-1Si01 is limited to the Japanese market for now and is expected to go on sale mid-February for ¥7,980 (~$103).
