man it’s been a while since i wrote anything in here ,but it’s good to be back 
Lsongs is one of the best and more elegant music player i’ve ever seen for linux.
it virtually does every thing supports import and playback of MP3, M4A, Ogg, WAV, and Sun au formats. It will rip CDs to either MP3 or Ogg. It will burn CDs from MP3, Ogg, WAV and M4A.
it also has support for MP3tunes which you can purchase music from it without the DRM crap.
many people tried to get Lsongs working on Ubuntu but it the experience wasn’t that successful UNTIL Freespire 2.0 came out which is basically built on Ubuntu feisty.
gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://apt2.freespire.org/CNRUbuntu skipjack-feisty main restricted
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install lsongs

invoke the update manager explicitly. To do this, press Alt-F2 (or open
a Terminal using Applications -> Accessories ->Terminal)
gksudo "update-manager -c -d"<br />
This step will not be necessary on the final release.

Apple Computer warned on Tuesday that some of its latest iPods have shipped with a Windows virus.
The company said that a small number of video iPods made after Sept. 12 included the RavMonE virus.
It said it has seen fewer than 25 reports of the problem, which it said
does not affect other models of the media player, nor does it affect
Macs.
The Cupertino, Calif.-based company apologized on its Web site for the problem, but also used the opportunity to jab at Microsoft, its operating system rival.
“As you might imagine, we are upset at Windows for not being more
hardy against such viruses, and even more upset with ourselves for not
catching it,” Apple said on its site.
“It’s more important to say we now have processes in place to make
sure this won’t happen again,” Joswiak said. “Very few units actually
went through that particular station, fortunately.”
The company said that computers using a current antivirus
software and with default settings should detect and remove RavMonE, as
it is an identified virus. It is urging iPod users without such
protection to install antivirus software.
Apple said that the video iPods now being made are virus-free. It introduced the latest generation of iPods last month.
Antivirus company McAfee listed the iPod threat as a low risk, but gave
it the rating of “low/profiled,” which the company said applies to
viruses that “appear to be low risk, but warrant additional monitoring
because they have attracted media interest.”
Joswiak said the virus does not affect Macs or the iPod itself.
As for Windows machines, Joswiak said the virus “does not cause data
damage but can lower the security of the computer” and said it should
be removed. Apple points to various antivirus firms’ Web sites,
including McAfee, Microsoft and Symantec, as places consumers can get
antivirus software if they don’t already have it.
Apple said that there was no intentional placement of the virus on the iPods. “You can rest assured of that,” he said.

Mozilla released Firefox RC1 earlier today.
this release has nothing new over the previous betas .. only bug fixes were added.
But to talk about the shift from 1.5.x to 2 there is much to say.
i’m going throw the most cool features i liked as listed in the official release notes
Visual Refresh: i had a bad experience with Firefox interface before it goes slowww after a while specially with a large number of tabs … i hope they fixed it.
Enhanced search capabilities: this just great .. we had to install extensions in the past just add, edit or remove search engines .. it’s perfect now .
Improved tabbed browsing: there is three things here i used to do manually using extensions every time i install firefox .. the close tab button , the restoring session feature and links opening automaticallt in a new tab.
Previewing and subscribing to Web feeds: more control on RSS feeds .. it’s not only live bookmarks now but we have the option to suscribe to any RSS reading service we want (web-based, standalone).

I know the first thing people will say : why the heck any body would run IE on Linux in the first place.
Well the answer is very simple .. NOBODY would run IE in Linux unless he have to.
If you are a web developer or even designing your own page on a Linux platform, the major problem is how it looks on a crappy browser like IE
most of the Internet users use IE which makes you forced to have windows and evern restart your whole system just to see how your page looks in IE .
Well .. the Pain is over .. here comes ies4linux a fully automated script to install IE 5.1, 5.5 and 6.0 on your Linux system with the help of wine.
and the script developer said that IE 7 support is coming soooon.
ies4linux is pretty easy to use .. just run the script and answer with Y/N to the versions you want to install and that’s it.. you are done having an IE icon on your desktop
here how it looks on my Ubuntu Dapper system

little about me:
Me? I’m dishonest, and a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest. Honestly. It’s the honest ones you want to watch out for, because you can never predict when they’re going to do something incredibly… stupid.
