Pandora is now US-only; You have the right to remain… a listener!
Got an e-mail in my inbox this morning from Pandora with the thing all UK-based users of this service have feared: Pandora will stop streaming to the UK as of January 15th. They have been forced to isolate everyone except the UK for a while, in hopes they might still be able to work out a deal. I guess it did not work out.
Oh well, there’s always Last.fm or HotSpot Shield. Yeah, you read me right! While it’s been intended as a protection over your wireless connection, HotSpot creates “a virtual private network (VPN) between your laptop and the wireless router. This impenetrable tunnel prevents snoopers and hackers from viewing your email, instant messages, credit card information or anything else you send over a wireless network. Which means you remain anonymous and protect your privacy.”
Well, who says you have to use it on a wireless connection? It is FREE, as we feared and you could possibly probably potentially use it to hide say, your “real ip” from the websites you’re visiting and make them think you’re IN the US, not outside eh?

Following our post on how the Free AVG Anti-Virus Pro Download Swamps Server we are pleased to announce that we have found another mirror. Computeract!ve reported that they were “experiencing severe disruption” to their downloads server after this offer was leaked to other internet users.
If you are looking for an alternative download mirror try here, it worked for us!
Free AVG Anti-Virus Pro Download Swamps Servers
Following a post on downloadsquad that Computeract!ve is giving away free licensed copies of AVG Anti-Virus Pro through Jan 17, 2008, Computeract!ve are now reporting that they are experiencing severe server download problems.
“We are experiencing severe disruption to our downloads server after this offer was leaked to other internet users. We’re working to fix the problem – if you can’t access the file, please try again later.”
CyberNet has pointed us to a couple of mirrors. But when the Hi-Tech Squad tried downloading from them we discovered that one was removed and the other was similarly overwhelmed.
What is the moral of this story… Don’t try and give away free copies of a top anti-virus suite in secret and don’t expect “the internet” to find out.
