http://www.realrecorder.net/
Record Internet Radio Stations on Your PC
MciRecorder is a sound recording program. It records sound generated, or
requested, by other computer programs, such as RealPlayer, Windows Media
Player, Quick Time,WinAmp, and many others. The resulting files are saved in
wave-file , MP3-file format.A intelligent recorder
When you first start MciRecorder, MciRecorder will configure your sound card
automatically.Just obey the prompts carefully. Then you can record what ever
you like from
your sound card. You do not have to set configuration manually. This is the
major difference between MciRecorder and other sound recording tools.The
demo version will only record 40 second chunks, but the full version
costs less than $20 and allows unlimited recording.Audio Conversion
Don't worry about high quality recording taking a great deal of disk
space.MciRecorder can convert wave-file format into Mp3-file format, which
will
reduce the file size by a factor of about 10.

News Is Free

http://www.newsisfree.com/

There's really no excuse for not staying informed, especially if
you're online all day long (which, since you're reading this, is a
fairly accurate assumption).
Keeping connected is made easier with this news portal.
Browse over a thousand sources and pick only the ones you
want to see on a regular basis. You can easily change the
appearance of the site, too; apply skins, select your default
language, and tweak page settings. Hey, it's your portal, people.
I personally think the "Random Sources" link is the best feature.
Thanks to; Christy

Onefog Xonix  free game
http://www.onefog.com/xonix.shtml
Onefog Xonix is a original realization of well-known arcade game QIX.
The game takes place on a two-dimensional arena, within which enemy balls
bounce around.
You have control of a ball in the game, which leaves a trail as it travels
across the arena.

The aim is to section off parts of the arena with your trail in order to
remove that section from the game.
Be careful not to get in the way of enemy balls because, if they hit you or
your trail, you lose a life.

You have a couple of bombs with which to wreak havoc on enemy balls,
although the game can be played without these.

Various goodies appear during play that can be collected, ranging from extra
bombs to extra lives.

Levels can be played in any order - simply move back and forwards through
them using the supplied buttons.

Munchin' Cookies

If you would like to delete the cookies on your hard drive, you
certainly can do so. Keep in mind they
really don't take up that much room though. In addition, if you
delete out all of your cookies (toss your cookies?) you may find
that sites you use all the time no longer recognize you or
remember your password. So, you may want to follow the steps
below, but only delete out the cookies that are not important
(you can see where the cookie came from if you have the Internet
Address column stretched wide enough).

Here's how to delete ALL the cookies from your hard drive:

To get rid of them, do the following:

1. Open Windows Explorer by right-clicking the Start button,
Explore.

2. Next, open your Temporary Internet Files folder. It should be
just a few folders down.

3. Now, look at the top of the right pane where all your
temporary internet files are. At the top there
should be a column labeled Type (along with Name, Internet
Address, etc). Click the word "Type". This
sorts your files so that all your cookies are lumped together.

4. Almost there. Now, scroll down until you come to your cookie
files. They're easy to spot since they
have the word "cookie" in their titles. They should have a little
text icon next to them as well.

5. Finally, click the top cookie file so it's highlighted (or
just move your mouse over it if you have your
computer set for single-clicking). Now, scroll down to the last
cookie. Hold down your SHIFT key and
click it (or just hover over it if you're set for single
clicking). That should highlight all of them.

Punch your Delete key, (you'll be asked to confirm) and you'll be
rid of them.

Antivirus software is a good choice to scan your system for possible viruses, 
however no virus scanner is 100% effective as manufactures cannot keep up with 
the rapid change of viruses that happens daily.
Be sure to update yours regularly.
