Cellmania, a mobile ring-tone site put up a pretty low quality 7 second version of Bleed It Out, from the Minutes to Midnight tracklist.

The 7 second version of Bleed It Out by Linkin Park can also be found at the LP-Projekt here, or download from YouSendIt here.

No More Sorrow was played Live by Linkin Park at the recent Berlin show, on the tour they are currently upon to promote Minutes To Midnight, before they start the Projekt Revolution again. A bootleg copy of the show surfaced on YouTube today. I love the beginning of this one. I’d love the song too, if I could hear it in better quality and judge. The drums were awesome

Watch the 3:17 length video at YouTube here. Or download the same in MP3 here.

You can view the images of the Berlin show by Linkin Park here.

Random again, since I got no better job these days.

Act of War by Activision is a great game in the RTS genre.

Spider-man 3 Game screenshots and videos look awesome but you still don’t get to control his good moves, its all key press sequence type even now. And that is painful… Plus, look at the system requirements…

CPU: Pentium 4/Athlon XP or better
CPU Speed: 2.8 GHz
System: RAM 1 GB for Windows 2000/XP or 1.5 GB for Windows Vista
Operating System: English version of Microsoft(R) Windows(R) 2000/XP/Vista

Free Disk Space 6 GB of uncompressed hard disk space (plus 600 MB for the Windows swap file)

I wonder how lovely it will be to play this on Wii…

Yeah, all this I wonder when my exams approach, lol. Won’t be posting too regularly till they get over

Erm, sorry for the long title.

I don’t know about you but on my Feisty Fawn Ubuntu, whenever I try clicking and dragging an MP3 into the playlist, Amarok just freezes. At times it shows me a small dialog box asking me to ‘Install MP3 Support’ or ‘No’, but clicking any of those makes it even more unresponsive that I have to kill it.

I found one tip at the Ubuntuforums asking to run the MP3 script directly from /usr/lib/amarok directory. I don’t know if it’ll work for you but it didn’t for me. Amarok still crashes.

At this bug report of the same issue, but reported on Edgy (Seems a problem with Ubuntu alone though), a commenter suggests to install the libxine-extracodecs package manually by Synaptic or Apt methods.

Here’s the apt code for it:

sudo apt-get install libxine-extracodecs

This method worked for me. But I hope they fix this bug up quick, got my nerves nearly.

It has many cool features and oohs and aahs that you might have already heard about. This magazine of theirs might help if not.

But quite surprisingly what I found today, while playing around in Google Trends, was this:

Though I don’t know the reason for the decline in the searching for ‘linux’, Ubuntu sure is compensating for it. At that rate it’ll overtake the amount of Linux searches and who knows, maybe enter the dictionary one day like Google did. It perhaps really is Ubuntu leading the migration front ahead, way ahead, of all other distributions.

Back to Feisty, I installed it today afternoon, the new Windows / Other OS migration tool didn’t work for my existing Vista Ultimate installation but I am not to be bothered importing anything from there. Installation was as smooth as always (I’m talking Dapper and Edgy here). Took about 23 minutes and I was back on Ubuntu Linux, after a long gaming stint on Windows. Its got more GUI tools than before and this time, every GUI is the simplest it can get and can’t be anymore user-friendlier, or must I say, newbie-friendlier.

However, I got one complaint with the Live CD. I usually browse or do other things like set the Gaim IM Pidgin up for chatting while the 7-Step installation is in progress. I wish the Live CD’s installation application detect Pidgin accounts or Firefox history, etc… and transfer them to the installed Ubuntu location at the end of the installation. Though not critically helpful, it would definitely give me a smile not having to enter certain URLs or set Pidgin up again and so on… If this feature is simple enough to be implemented, why not get on with it?

Well, here’s a screenshot anyway. You won’t notice a change, since its the same pure GNOME. [ Wallpaper ]

Port 25 of Technet finally gave it out. Its 302 KB and will help you play those odd bad-sites that use Windows Media content. Its only for Windows though.

Download WMP Plugin for Firefox

(Alternatively, Firefox will now automatically install it in case you ever encounter this necessity to play on any page.)
