Popular online file-sharing service LimeWire was shut down by a US federal court on Tuesday following a lawsuit filed by the music industry.

The move came a little more than five months after a US judge ruled in favor of 13 music companies in a copyright infringement and unfair competition case brought against LimeWire.

LimeWire.com featured a legal notice on its home page on Tuesday stating it was “under a court-ordered injunction to stop distributing and supporting its file-sharing software.”

The legal notice linked to the court order from US District Court Judge Kimba Wood ordering the closure of the service.

LimeWire chief executive George Searle said in a statement he was “disappointed with this turn of events.”

“We are extremely proud of our pioneering history and have, for years, worked hard to bridge the gap between technology and content rights holders,” Searle said. “However, at this time, we have no option but to cease further distribution and support of our software.”

Searle thanked users of the service and said “our team of technologists and music enthusiasts are creating a completely new music service that puts you back at the center of your digital music experience.”

“We’ll be sharing more details about our new service and look forward to bringing it to you in the future,” he said.

The 13 music companies filed their complaint against LimeWire in 2006 and Judge Wood ruled in their favor in May. In June, eight members of the National Music Publishers’ Association filed a separate copyright suit against LimeWire.

LimeWire software was released in August 2000 and uses peer-to-peer, or P2P, technology to allow users to share music or other files over the Internet.

LimeWire is owned by the Lime Group, a New York-based company.

It seems as though the Apple iPad has been too hot, so hot that it is reported to be experiencing some overheating problems. After using it under the sunlight for some time, the editor of PC Magazine encountered an error message notifying him that the “iPad needs to cool down before you can use it”. It was so serious that he had to put it into the fridge to cool it down so it can be turned on again. It was also reported in several places that other customers are experiencing a similar problem too. The iPad has also been experiencing some Wi-Fi connection problems. Funny how the giant iPod Touch is having so much problems when basically they contain more or less the same things as the iPod Touch. Let’s hope Apple fix these problems before they launch it here in Malaysia.

Youtube may offer the pay movies to the public in the near future. Currently youtube is still in the mid of negotiaions with the major Hollywood studios for the deal to offer pay per watch for the full-length movies.

If the agreement is reached, this will be the major revolution for YouTube which has built the huge audience by offering the free video clips and earn most of it revenus from online advertising. With the deal, this will put YouTube to directly compete with the services provider such as Netflix, Amazon and Apple, which currently allow their customer to buy or rent movie.

Some thing happen tonight while I’m posting the product that I sold to e-bay, Cari Mall and EC-Lifestyle.com. At the mean time, I’m thinking of posting some news and link to the most famous sociall network portal – Facebook.

I believe that Facebook have a very strong and solic hardword and infrastructure, but I see something that I have never seem before at facebook.com – “Service Unavailable – DNS Failure”.

Is that this mean the the one of the world biggest social networking website down?

Hopefully is my area having problem to access Facebook and what I saw on my screen is the error message from some other party such as our ISP (We used to that becuase Streamyx(one of the Internet provider in Malaysia) always have this kind of problem.

Hopefully what I saw now is not the true.

Facebook down while tech.david-cheong.com is still online

Finally, the Maxis has bring in the official Apple iPhone to Malaysia. You may check their official web site out regarding the detail.

The price for me personally is too high compare to the unofficial iPhone out at the market. But if you are the Apple phone, i don’t think the “small” diff will kick you out from buying that.

Basically there are 3 plan available to tie with the iPhone, which are i-Value Plans with 12 months contract, i-Value Plans with 24 months contract, and Value Plus Plans with 6 months contract.

12 months contract: iPhone 3G price from RM 1,080 to RM 2,290

Click here to check on the i-Value Plans in detail

24 months contract: iPhone 3G price from FREE to RM 1,890

Click here to check on the i-Value Plans in detail

6 months contract: iPhone 3G price from RM 2,540 to RM 2,960

Click here to check on the i-Value Plans in detail

The plan table at the Maxis web site look a bit confuse, let’s explain on the i-Values Plan for 24 months contract.

If I sign up for i-Value 1, which mean I can buy the iPhone 16GB at the price of RM 1890, then I need to pay for RM 400 for advance payment. On top of that, my monthly commintment if RM 100 for 2 years.

No matther which plan are you sign up with to get your iPhone, I don’t think any of them are cheaper then the unlock version that you get from other place then Maxis. I believe most of the Malaysian’s thinking user will still trend to the unlock version (I believe most of the Apple fans will hate me by saying that)
