Radiohead recently released their latest album “In Rainbows” as digital download where customers and fans can download their copies from their website at whatever price they want! The move was applauded by some marketing gurus as a good strategy for higher sales when it was officially released in discs. (Note: In Rainbows is no longer available as a download.)
Here’s another good news to the fans again. The band will be performing an exclusive live US TV performance of their new album “In Rainbows” on Current TV, all commercial free as another way to promote their album.
Logon to Current TV on December 31, 2007 at midnight (12 AM EST, 9 PM PST) and watch them online for free!

Researchers found out that downloading Google Toolbar may be unsafe because it has been a vector of recent malicious activities.
Google Toolbar allows spoofing the information presented in the dialog which is being displayed when adding a new Google Toolbar button. This can allow an attacker to convince the users that his button comes from a trusted domain. This button can then be used to download malicious files or conduct phishing attacks (e.g. show a login form of a bank).
Affected versions
* Google Toolbar 5 beta for Internet Explorer
* Google Toolbar 4 for Internet Explorer
* Google Toolbar 4 for Firefox (partially)
A full detail on how hackers and malicious software distributors do it is shown on Aviv Raff on .NET.

Rapidshare is probably the most popular file-hosting service these days. Millions of shared files – e-books, music, videos, and documents are hosted in their servers. However, if you are free users, you face a lot of limitations such as the download limit and waiting time, unless you became a premium member (paying).
But like any other programs, there are a thousand ways available in the net to bypass the download limit. One of it I found useful was the Download Direct software released by Sendbit.
Download Direct (also known as DLD) was developed to accelerate your downloads by up to 500% (sometimes more) and let you manage them via one central screen.
DLD has great features:
1. Accelerates downloads up to 500% (sometimes more). This can be a great help especially to dial-up users.
2. Manage all downloads via one central screen
3. Uses mirrors to find the fastest file location (achieves even more speed).

We always here hear, even from medical professionals, that, reading in dim light damage your eyes; you need eight glasses of water a day to stay healthy and shaving your legs make the hair grow back faster.

Here are the seven common “medical myths”:
- Reading in dim light ruins your eyesight
The majority of eye experts believe it is unlikely to do any permanent damage, but it may make you squint, blink more and have trouble focusing, the researchers said.
- Shaving makes hair grow back faster or coarser
It has no effect on the thickness or rate of hair regrowth, studies say. But stubble lacks the finer taper of unshaven hair, giving the impression of coarseness.
