As a fan of Swedish electoral politics, you’re obviously aware that the Pirate Party (or “Piratpartiet”) has been bedeviling officials in that Nordic country since 2006, doing crazy things like hosting the Pirate Bay’s servers and launching the Relakks commercial darknet — all the while flying the flag for privacy rights, copyright reform, and state transparency. And now? Northern Lights TV has recently posted an interview with Gustav Snipe, CEO of Pirate ISP, the party’s very own service provider. How long can an ISP that refuses to monitor traffic or keep user logs keep the Swedish government at bay? We’ll probably find out soon enough: it’s already providing beta access in Lund, with plans to go nationwide at the end of the summer. Video after the break.

Vanessa Hudgens Topless Photo Scandal Makes Me Stronger

Vanessa Hudgens has directed herself into a more mature image in the cover of the upcoming August issue of Glamour.

Hudgens, 21, graces the magazine sporting a tight-fitted black vest, revealing her sexy bod. She paired the vest with a beaded belt and jeans as she highlights the mag’s special denim issue.

Together with Vanessa, the “High School Musical” star is seen carrying two cuddly kitties. “I love animals. Love, love, love, love animals. I have a toy poodle, Shadow. She’s a little whippersnapper! And I love little monkeys,” she told the mag.

In an interview with Glamour, Vanessa talked about her topless photo which surfaced into the internet in 2007. She shared, “I think that it has made me stronger. But it still hurts. It sucks because [the photos were] supposed to be private, but at the same time a lot of actresses do it [in movies]. Eventually, I’m sure that I will [too]. But I don’t know if I would be able to do it now.”

On her views about her Disney girl image, Vanessa said, “It’s so funny. Because before ‘High School Musical’, I wanted to be a nitty-gritty actress. And ‘High School Musical’ came along, and, I was like, ‘Oh my God, fun!’ ” She continued, “But the more we did it, the more prude I became… When I am around kids and they come up to me, of course I am going to act a certain way, but at the end of the day, I’m doing this for myself. I’m going to be doing movies kids can’t watch.”

Vanessa Hudgens shared that she will have her more mature image shown in her new movie “Sucker Punch.”

She will be playing Blondie, a tough and edgy girl. Meanwhile, Vanessa will deal with a squeaky clean teenybopper to an HIV-positive stripper in a play “Rent” for the Hollywood Bowl in August.

How will sir be having his gimmick today? The devs behind the upcoming Sly Cooper 3D compilation are wisely mulling over the idea of inserting a 3D-adjusting slider to let users decide just how much stereoscopy they want with their Sony-approved gaming. It’s argued that this should allow you greater positional flexibility when smacking fools down in three dimensions, as you’ll be able to manually toggle the depth of the 3D effect to suit your viewing angle. We were happy to see such an option introduced in the Nintendo 3DS at E3 and would similarly welcome its inclusion on the PS3 — though that’s no foregone conclusion as yet. All we can say for sure right now is that the stuff is adjustable, but it looks like it’ll be up to devs to roll their sleeves up and integrate the slider into their games. Hey, it’s the summer, not like they’ve got anything else to do, right?

Still pining for one of the best Windows 7 tablets we’ve seen to date? Yeah, we’re talking about the 11.6-inch ExoPC. Well, we’ve got nothing but good news: the company’s still on track for a September release and has been putting the finishing touches on the Windows 7, Intel Atom-powered slate. According to some new videos posted by the company, the tablet’s been upgraded with a new LCD that appears to have much better viewing angles than the one we checked out at Computex. Additionally, the Canadian team’s been doing some stand-up work on an e-book app. As you can see in the video beyond the break (more can be found there in the source link), it’s got a simple interface, snazzy page flip animations and it looks fairly easy to import a book on your own. It’s all lookin’ quite good to us. Not that we’re trying to rush this heat wave or anything, but is it September yet?

Windows Slate PC co-branded EXOPC will come with an improved viewing angle.
Here is a comparison between two EXOPC prototypes, one with a standard screen, and one with the improved viewing angle.

There is confusion if they are shooting for longines or Loreal for which both are brand ambassadors. Upon further reading it looks like Kate winslet is also the new face of longines and they are in fact shooting for an ad for the swiss brand longines.
