Second expansion pack for popular serie The Settlers is now available. After first one with subtitle “Heritage of Kings” was today released second one called “Heritage of Kings Legends” by RELOADED (yeah, they weren’t busted as we have informed). This release has only 300 MB so if you are fan of Settlers, don’t wait for anything. It also requires the previous version installed to run. Fifth instalment of Settlers was for me personally quite dissapointment, I was enjoying Settlers 3 much more…

• Four new campaigns with a total of 18 maps

Pretty good film Pride and Prejudice based on excellent book by Jane Austen with same title is now available. ALLIANCE released 2 CD DVDRiP with great AC3 sound, so prepare your 7.1 sound system and watch this nice drama with Keira Knightley…

Based on Jane Austen’s beloved novel, the classic tale of love and values unfolds in the class-conscious England of the late 18th century. The five Bennet sisters - including strong-willed Elizabeth (Keira Knightley) and young Lydia (Jena Malone) - have all been raised by their mother (Brenda Blethyn) with one purpose in life: finding a husband. When a wealthy bachelor takes up residence in a nearby mansion, the Bennets are abuzz. Amongst the man’s sophisticated circle of friends, surely there will be no shortage of suitors for the Bennet sisters. But when Elizabeth meets up with the handsome and - it would seem - snobbish Mr. Darcy (Matthew Macfadyen), the battle of the sexes is joined.

A waiter for four years since high school, Dean has never questioned his job at ShenaniganZ.

Over the course of one chaotic shift, Mitch gets to know the rest of Shenanigan’s quirky staff: Monty’s tough-talking ex-girlfriend, Serena, ShenaniganZ over-zealous manager, Dan, and head cook Raddimus, who’s obsessed with a senseless staff-wide competition known only as “The Game�.

Smashing the previous Guinness World Record of 67 seconds, a 28 year old Singaporean women has triple-tapped 26 words into a mobile phone in an astonishing 43.24 seconds. Kimberly Yeo, a Business student, typed the 160 character message

“The razor-toothed piranhas of the genera Serrasalmus and Pygocentrus are the most ferocious freshwater fish in the world. In reality they seldom attack a human.”

including all punctuation and in upper- and lower-case letters - without the aid of any predictive text functions such as T9 or iTAP. Yeo says she sends an average of 1500 text messages a month to friends and family, so it’s no wonder she is so good at it. The feat was accomplished outside a department store, in a contest held by Singapore carrier SingTel, and Yeo walked away with about $10,250 in prize money - all for sending one text message. My Motorola MPx220 is quite fine mobile phone, but I still prefer instant messaging before writing short messages…

Formerly the audio app known as Cool Edit Pro, Adobe’s reincarnation of this multitrack tool adds a handful of new features such as support for VST plug-ins, Rewire, and integrated CD burning. Although Audition shines on the feature front, the newly Adobe-ized interface unfortunately is overly busy and makes warming up to the program a challenge. Audition boasts an impressive list of professional-minded attributes, such as pitch correction; recording of up to 128 simultaneous stereo tracks; 32-bit, 192KHz audio resolution; powerful effects processing; and support for video files. The program also comes with a healthy library of more than 5,000 royalty-free loops so you can start playing with sounds immediately. Other handy perks include a multichannel encoder for converting stereo mixes into 5.1 surround sound; detailed audio analysis and editing; and an audio-restoration function that corrects hisses, hums, and other distractions. Still, we wished Audition had its own selection of software instruments. Overall, this application is a well-accomplished multitrack audio solution for any pro or home enthusiast.

Record, mix, edit, and master digital audio files with powerful tools that bring flexibility and control to your desktop studio. Easily create music, produce radio spots, and restore imperfect recordings. Bring audio and video together using smart integration with Adobe video applications. Get professional results in real time with Adobe® Audition® 2.0 software.

Damn, darker times are coming. At approximately 10 AM, local police in a wide spread coordinated effort raided over 300 homes and offices associated with top warez providers. The raids took place in Germany, Austria, Holland, Poland and the Czech Republic. According to GVU (translated to German Federation Against Copyright Theft), over 30 individuals were arrested in the raids. The website of GVU is now under hard DDoS attack. The raids also yielded over 20 servers, which provided FTP (File Transfer Protocol) access to individuals belonging to the release groups. GVU claims the warez groups were responsible for the proliferation “of illegal copies of films, computer games, music and user software.” The enforcement raids were the culmination of the GVU’s investigative efforts, with legal follow-through provided by the prosecutor’s offices in Duesseldorf and Frankfurt.

Rumors of the bust began circulating online today, as members attempted to warn each other. According to warning notices online, the following top providers have, for all intents and purposes, been eliminated; RELOADED, KNIGHTS, TFCiSO, Cinemaniacs, German-Friend, ParadieseBeach and Klapsmuehle. Information about RELOADED was later marked as not verified and this group hasn’t been affected that hard. In addition, the leader of RELOADED was reported as arrested during the raids. The GVU confirmed the following release groups were eliminated, most of them german: Unreality, DRAGON, Laboratory, Heaven, code talk, GTR, ECP, TRCD, AOS, MRM, SITH, GWL, Cine VCD, AHE, Cinemaniacs. So the conclusion is up to you, may be its time to hide for someone. There’s no doubt that new crews and groups will be replaced after some time, but now its probably better to take more care about yourself…

We got also some interesting reading for you (NFOs):

UPDATE: our website is under massive flood of new visitors (500 unique in last 20 minutes) which is causing occasional inaccessibility of Releaselog, be patient…

UPDATE #2: due to comment of one visitor, german offices of GVU were raided just few hours after this bust. Prosecutor assume that they paid at least for one of the servers hardware and the admin. So it looks like IOH (island of hope, main server) was more or less a GUV honeypot, attracting the spread members of the release groups around one server and get them more easy…

UPDATE #3: GVU’s website is now running fine again after DDoS attack so they released some pictures from this raid, check it out.
