Back on our two-year anniversary we hosted a giveaway for a few MediaMonkey licenses. With over 130 entries we couldn't exactly give a license to everyone who entered in, but now anyone can get 25% off a MediaMonkey license. The price of a lifetime license goes from $40 down to $30, and a Gold license from $20 down to $15.
I was disappointed, and still am, that Demonoid was shutdown. It was always my best source for BitTorrent files anywhere on the Internet. After that happened I was a straggler between the Torrent search engines. I would primarily use the Pirate Bay and MiniNova, but there wasn't one site that really felt convenient.

Amazon likes to be adventurous and try their hand at just about anything, and the proof of that can be found just by looking at services they launched in 2007 alone.

We've been talking for over a year now about the "war" between HD DVD and Blu-ray and who would come out of this the clear winner.
Bill Gates gave his last Keynote address at CES 2008 last night, but there was really only one good part to it. Gates put together a video of what he thought it would be like on his last day of work, and a bunch of celebrities got involved to make it something I probably won't forget. Since we've already shown you the video, we'll now take a look at some of the things he discussed in the keynote.
We've got a full scale recap of the Bill Gates 2008 CES keynote coming at you in just a few minutes, but the first thing we wanted to start you out with was the introduction video from last night. Celebrities like Steven Spielberg, Barrack Obama, George Clooney, and about a dozen others all stared in the film.

Welcome to Daily Downloads brought to you by CyberNet! Each weekday we bring you the Windows software updates for widely used programs, and it's safe to assume that all the software we list is freeware (we'll try to note the paid-only programs).
Many of our Microsoft Monday posts over the last several months have focused on Windows Vista -- after all, it is the latest operating system from Microsoft.
