The world's greatest web browser.

Flock is a great browser. I would even go as far as to say the best. Flock is built of of Mozilla code so it is very similar to Firefox. However Flock has something Firefox doesn't: it integrates some of the most popular sites on the web such as Yahoo! Mail, Gmail, AOL Mial, Digg, Pownce, YouTube, flickr, twitter, facebook, del.icio.us, Photobucket, Picasa, Piczo, Blogger, and others. It is an amazing piece of software and i highly recommend it.

I Dig Digg!

I finally got around to signing up for Digg. There is a lot of hype about it and I have to say it is a great service. I haven't fully tapped into it's full potential yet, but I'm sure it will be as addicting as Del.icio.us. I have found Digg to be the best way to spread news yet. I Dugg a paper I wrote just last night and within about two hours there where already three other people who had dugg it! My profile is http://digg.com/users/ScabMan.

Blogger Buddy........ Not a bad concept

Windows Vista isn't really that much better than Windows XP. But it does have the sidebar. There are some pretty nifty widgets you can get for the sidebar and one of them is Blogger Buddy. It allows you to post to your blog right from Windows Sidebar. It's pretty great.

Grab a slice of the Action

I recently stumbled upon something rather interesting. It's a web app called InstantAction. It allows you to play eight different games with rather stunning graphics, right in your browser (after installing a plug-in). My personal favorite(though I haven't played all the games yet) is Fallen Empires: Legions. The only real problem is that the games load far from instantly.

Sixteen killed in Pakistan during Taliban ambush



From Wikinews, the free news source you can write!


At least 16 soldiers and militants - possibly more - were killed in Pakistan Saturday during an ambush by the Taliban. According to the Pakistan Television Corporation, hundreds of militants stormed a convoy of Pakistani paramilitary forces. An unknown number of civilians were reported to be among the dead. This comes one day after militants took 29 security personal hostage, threatening to kill them if seven of their allies were not released from jail.
According to the chief of the Interior Ministry, Rehman Malik, the paramilitary forces had been deployed to the area in search of 19 kidnapped government officials. "I strongly condemn the killing of Frontier Constabulary personnel and salute them for their courage and valour," said Pakistani Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani.
