Wrongdoing
A wrong (from Old English wrang – crooked) is an act that is illegal or immoral.Legal wrongs are usually quite clearly defined in law of each state or jurisdiction. They can be divided into civil wrongs and crimes (or criminal offences) in common law countries, while civil law countries tend to have some additional categories, such as contraventions.
Moral wrong is an underlying concept for legal wrong, and some moral wrongs are punishable by law, for example rape or murder. Other moral wrongs have nothing to do with law. On the other hand, some legal wrongs, such as parking offences, could hardly be classified as moral wrongs.
Legal wrong
In law, a wrong can be a legal injury, which is any damage resulting from a violation of a legal right. It can also imply the state of being contrary to the principles of justice or law. It means that something is contrary to conscience or morality and results in treating others unjustly. If the loss caused by a wrong is minor enough, there is no compensation, which principle is known as de minimis non curat lex. Otherwise, damages apply.

Epic (web browser)
Epic is a privacy-centric web browser developed by Hidden Reflex and based on Chromium source code. It is the first web browser from India.
History
Epic was released on August 29, 2013 and focused on protecting users' privacy online. First released on 15 July 2010, Epic Browser is originally based on Google Chrome and is customized to the taste of Indian users. The browser had several pre-installed widgets such as social networking, chat clients and email facilities integrated into the browser.
Features
Epic's default configuration takes a proactive approach to ensuring that session data (such as cookies, history, and cache) are removed when the browser is exited. The browser also includes a proxy service that can be enabled at the user's discretion, and is automatically enabled when using a search engine. Other features, such as preferring SSL connections and always sending a Do Not Track header, promote a heightened state of privacy in comparison to some other browsers.
EPIC 2014
EPIC 2014 is a Flash movie released in November 2004 by Robin Sloan and Matt Thompson with original music by Aaron McLeran. It was based on a presentation they gave at the Poynter Institute in the spring of that year. The movie is 8 minutes long and is licensed under a Creative Commons non-commercial license.
The movie is presented from the viewpoint of a fictional "Museum of Media History" in the year 2014. It explores the effects that the convergence of popular News aggregators, such as Google News, with other Web 2.0 technologies like blogging, social networking and user participation may have on journalism and society at large in a hypothesized future. The film popularized the term Googlezon and touches on major privacy and copyright issues raised in this scenario.
Plot
The plot consists of a series of real life events from 1989 to 2004, and going through a series of hypothetical events through 2014. The first sentence of the running commentary quotes Charles Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities: "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times."
Song
A song is a single (and often standalone) work of music intended to be sung by the human voice with distinct and fixed pitches and patterns using sound and silence and a variety of forms that often include the repetition of sections. Written words created specifically for music or for which music is specifically created, are called lyrics. If a pre-existing poem is set to composed music in classical music it is an art song. Songs that are sung on repeated pitches without distinct contours and patterns that rise and fall are called chants. Songs in a simple style that are learned informally are often referred to as folk songs. Songs that are composed for professional singers are called popular songs. These songs, which have broad appeal, are often composed by professional songwriters, composers and lyricists. Art songs are composed by trained classical composers for concert performances. Songs are performed live and recorded. Songs may also appear in plays, musical theatre, stage shows of any form, and within operas.

The Wrong Song
by: SkycladAnother bad break - burst another bubble
Another lost cause - here's another trouble
another heart ache - one more chance gone
another lost chord in yet another wrong song.
Sometimes I feel like I'm standing on a hillside -
screaming at the world (only wishing it would hear).
I can't deny that I'm tired of your lies
but I hope if I hide that you'll all disappear.
Can a fat man squeeze a camel through a needle's eye?
As hell freezes over the little pigs fly.
Just when things seemed better than before,
listen there's a 'black dog' howling at my back door.
You say I took it all the wrong way,
and got the wrong end of the stick.
Proceed to water down the truth,
then make me drink it 'til I'm sick.
It's a monkey shine - a mare's next,
a cock and bull story.
you're talking through your hat,
you're full of sound and fury.
You're wide of the mark, on the wrong scent,
barking up the wrong tree, out of it, not a leg to stand on..
Dignity is one thing that you can't preserve in alcohol,
here's a drug to blow your mind -
it's called sodium pentothal
I've smelt more rats in my time than a sanitary inspector,
so every word you start to speak sets off my lie detector.
Another bad break - burst another bubble
Another lost cause - here's another trouble
another heart ache - one more chance gone
another lost chord in yet another wrong song.
Truth often hurts - but it hit me like a hammer,
I've been sweating blood for 'product' - I thought it was my art.
Would it have made it tougher (all I've had to suffer)
if you'd come clean and told me the score form the start?
Stop treating everybody like a charity
I may have sold my soul - but I won't part with my sanity.
I was a schizophrenic - my better half left home,
the Samaritans don't answer when I call them on the telephone.
You say the cheque is in the post,
and it'll sound great at the mix,
but we have heard them all before,
have we the memory span of fish?
It's a monkey shine - a mare's next,
a cock and bull story.
you're talking through your hat,
you're full of sound and fury.
You're wide of the mark, on the wrong scent,
barking up the wrong tree, out of it, not a leg to stand on.
Dignity is one thing that you can't preserve in alcohol,
here's a drug to blow your mind -
it's called sodium pentothal
I've smelt more rats in my time than a sanitary inspector,
