My colleague Jesper mentioned a web-site to me a few days ago, and I must admit that this site has been on top of my favorite list for the last few days.
The site is www.grooveshark.com and it’s a free music service.
The cool things about this service are;
1. it’s free (always a good argument)
2. it has a TON of music in all sorts of versions (different artists, mixes and remixes) 5 mill + songs
3. the interface is just excellent, totally intuitive. It lets you ‘browse’ the music library just like you do the web, you will be on a journey through music.
4. you can make playlists which you save online and possibly share with friends.
oh yeah, did I mention it’s free 😉 well it is, and it’s totally cool.
There only seem to be one or two drawbacks;
1. it is streaming only, so you can not download music and put it on your favorite mp3 player for road-duty.
2. legality, So, is this legal? Well, to the best of my knowledge no, but hey I am no expert on international IT copyright 
law. Anyhow the service has existed for some time, and it strikes me as strange that it has not been taken down by a ton of law suits if this was blatantly illegal, my guess would be that it’s in the same gray zone as Youtube etc.

This is one of the coolest sites I have discovered for a LONG time… It does by far beat the closest similar service I know of, something called TDC Play (a danish service that require subscription with a specific ISP).
For those still using Windows XP and Windows Vista, then here is a somewhat useful service to try out if you run into problems, Microsoft FIX-IT. Microsoft FIX-IT offer online repair of some of the common problems with XP and Vista installations.

Text from their website;
Thank you for your interest in Microsoft Fix it. We’re working hard to automate solutions to common software problems in an easy, intuitive way that is available when and where you need it. So whether you are looking for a solution in help or support content, or an error report, Fix it provides a way to apply automated fixes, workarounds, or configuration changes so you don’t have to perform a long list of manual steps yourself.
If you run an older version of Mdaemon 10.x (email server) then you may find this “error message” in the SMTP logs; “The date is grossly in the future”, this is caused by a bug in Spamassassin one of the antispam solutions used by Mdaemon, the problem is that this caused the spam score to get rather high and may cause Mdaemon to discard legitimate mails as spam.
You can ofcause upgrade your Mdaemon installation, but if for some reason you prefer not to do so this is the workaround;
The workaround(besides paying for updates), is to edit the rule-set.
C:\MDaemon\SpamAssassin\rules\local.cf
Add the following line score
FH_DATE_PAST_20XX 0.0
Restart Spam Engine

Just found another tip, change the end of this line to the latter (both solutions should work);
MDaemon\SpamAssasin\default_rules\72_active.cf:
{ FH_DATE_PAST_20XX header FH_DATE_PAST_20XX Date =
~ /20[1-9][0-9]/ [if-unset: 2006]
Change to;
/20[2-9][0-9]
