Record Streaming Internet Radio Stations Online

One of the things that I've grown accustomed to in iTunes is listening to the streaming radio stations. When you go through an entire work day sitting in front of your computer it's nice to have a variety of music at your fingertips without needing to assemble your own playlists.

Back in March we wrote about how Lenovo was going head-to-head with Apple's MacBook Air with their ThinkPad X300.

Directions and Street View Combine in Google Maps

Google just made it a little easier for people to get from point A to point B with the help of Street View. Of course we know what Street View is by now, and we know that using Google Maps, users can get directions from a starting point to an ending point.

Over 950 of you responded and as it turns out, 30% of you, larger than any other group, are using a computer that's less than one year old. Coming in next was 21% of you who said that you are using a computer that's 1-2 years old.

XP SP3 Download Not Coming Today

Last week we posted some mirrors for the Windows XP SP3 download, and today was supposed to be the golden day that Microsoft delivered it to the public. That won't be happening. Microsoft found a last minute show-stopper that they decided needs to be addressed before offering it to the public.
