Time-Warner cable recently sent me this notice after I used bittorent: "Dear Subscriber: This notice is being sent to you by Road Runner Customer Care because we have received a complaint that your computer has been used to distribute copyrighted material without authorization through a peer-to-peer program.

If you or others using your computer have been doing this, you could be subject to civil penalties and criminal fines. Such activity also violates the Road Runner terms of service. •The programs allow any anonymous person on the Internet to look at your computer files and copy them for themselves. Such a hacker could view all of your files, which can lead to identity theft. •The programs, which use large amounts of memory, can interfere with the functioning of your computer by destabilizing your operating system, leading to a general sluggishness at bootup and during operation. •The programs can contain spyware, adware, malware, viruses and pornography.

Should I get a Mac or a PC? I'm thinking about either getting a mini mac or a dell studio hybrid to attach to my 37" flat screen. I was wondering if anyone knows how well iworks'09 works with office 2007. I have a dell inspiron 1520 and that's what is leaning me towards getting the dell, but I don't really want to fool with windows 7 because I do a lot of musical recording and that stuff is really stable on a mac. Is there any way I can still get a new dell with windows XP? Plus is it true that Macs rarely get viruses, that sort of stuff really affects music software, as well? Thanks in advance...

I just ordered a Pinnacle Capture Device from eBay to record my game play on my Xbox 360. I don't own a gig stick and was wondering if I can use an iPod touch as the storage device for it? Heres a link to the Pinnacle Capture Device i'm talking about. http://www.pinnaclesys.com/PublicSite/us/Products/Consumer+Products/Home+Video/Studio+Family/Instant+Video+Recorder.htm

Hey guys so I want to become a music journalist. Trying to get my feet wet here. Can you tell me on anything I can improve on in this review? And by the way, please don't tell me if you disagree or agree with my opinion. I just want you to tell me how I can make the review better. Paramore Brand New Eyes Album Review Brand New Eyes proves to be an appropriate title for Paramore’s third studio album. The fiery quintet experiement with multiple sounds on the record, a decision that results in making the listener wonder if halfway through, the CD will do them the pleasure of self destructing. Williams pathetic, whining drawls on Playing God should rest in peace in the band’s hometown of Nashville. Also, The Only Exception’s low key sound was cute and mellow, but take note Paramore, it wasn’t necessary to accompany it with Misguided Ghosts and All I Wanted. The high point of this record includes tracks like Careful, Ignorance and Brick By Boring Brick. A bonus for hysteric Twilight fans turned Paramore fans includes Decode. This is an ode from vocalist Williams, to the mega success of the literary work concerning vampires, capturing the raw emotion behind loving what you probably should not. For the most part, the over simplistic nature of various lyrics is the death of many songs. However, these four tracks survive and prove to audiences that Paramore still posesses that high energy, risky-business, pop grinding style that brought them to international stardom. As far as an obviously experimental album goes, Brand New Eyes demonstrates growth in maturity but lacks a certain energy that effortlessly flowed out of previous works
