Paris Hilton Sex Tape - Are people stupid?

Tuesday, January 6th, 2004

It started in November and in December another previously unknown girl grabbed the top spot of the top-10 searches. This time I had heard about her at the Letterman show, but never seen her. How stupid are people. Why do they come to berka.com and search for it??? Just think how much bandwidth are wasted by the internet morons. :P

Kobes accuser pic!

Sunday, August 3rd, 2003

What a hysteria. I noticed an increase in traffic and thought that someone was spamming my search function, or maybe doing some strange DOS attack. There was way too many searches from users with IP at AOL that searched for “kobe bryant accuser” and similar searches.

I didn’t know who Kobe Bryant was, or what he had done. (I’m not following the NBA.) But now I know that he is accused of rape, and is a famous basket ball player.

How did all these people looking for information end up here at berka.com? Well, someone started, and then came the search bots, and looked at my 10-latest-searches listing, and now I am listed as number one at Google when searching for “Kobes accuser pic“. :-o

Yeah, this was fun… :mrgreen:

Emma Watson nude?

Tuesday, July 22nd, 2003

A very interesting thing happened in our top 10 list of search words. “Emma” and “Watson” were words that ranked higher than “Britney” or “Pamela” ever has. :-o

What happened was this. We show the 10 latest searches, and someone had searched for “Emma Watson nude”. Then the Google spider came by, and suddenly we were ranked number one at Google, when searching for the words “Emma Watson nude“.

This meant that every moron searching for “Emma Watson nude” at Google came to our site and couldn’t find any nude pics of Emma Watson, so they used the search function here. Finally the words “emma” and “watson” reached the top ten search words.

For how long will this traffic continue? :mrgreen:

Who the #ยค%& is Emma Watson?
She is an actress from the Harry Potter movies. :roll:

Mentors Nordic Solutions Expo - 02

Wednesday, October 2nd, 2002

Yesterday I visited Mentors (and HPs) Nordic Solutions Expo in Kista. URL:

Interesting tool presentation was “ELDO RF“.

The rest of the “Expo” was what You can expect from such an event. (Including free gadgets and free lunch. The theme was “orienteering”.) :-)

Stop the pedophiles

Thursday, January 17th, 2002

For two months in a row, (Nov-Dec 2001) “preteen” has been the 4:th most common searchword on this site. That made me mad. Are there so many pedophiles surfing the web? I decided to start logging all searches for “preteen” and other pedophile codewords. Now everyone can see the IP address of the morons. I started on the 14:th of January 2002, and on the first day a pedophile from Saudi Arabia got logged.

Maybe some of the persons behind the IP-addresses on this list have perfectly normal reason for their searches… But they will still have a lot of explaining to do.
