POPSVirgin Media is the Law Another BBC post, I do read other sites, but I figured this I should share. Virgin plan to send letters to those people it feels are downloading and sharing music, working in conjunction with the BPI. Ok, so I know there is the whole legal issue here, but the context of the article is more related to TV shows, and I must admit, the guy has a point, we've all done it at some point I'm sure, whether it's downloading, or streaming from site like youtube. For instance, right now I'm watching music videos for Poets of the Fall on youtube, totally illegal, but the easiest way to see them. At the moment I'm using the 20Mb service from Virgin, and although it suits my needs (I have a housemate who uses it lots, I play the xbox online lots, and I host an FTP server for my dad to backup his files every night, so bandwidth usage is hgh) I may consider changing if this is the shape of things to come.

POPSRubiks cube: Blindfolded I find it hard enough to do with my eyes open, but this kid does it in 2 minutes and 27 seconds! Video of him doing it too, it's quite something to watch.

POPS Boy fined for dropping balloon "Just a baloon." This is how it starts, just a baloon, just a crisp packet, just a cigarette box. Everyone who litters thinks exactly the same thing. I see it all round where I live, kids dropping fast food wrappers, parents dropping plastic wrap of cigarette boxes, it disgusts me. I say he should be fined more! And his mother for defending the little littering gobsh**e.

POPSHand over your shoe, and I won't get the cops This annoys me, it's typcial that the police eventually pick on the true victim of crime, while the scum get off again. Of course it's easier to pick on law abiding citizens, they actually listen to what they're being told.

POPSA Warrior's Dignity I like reading about stuff like this, the little guy, doing something great that people might never notice, but with such a drive and purpose in mind, that it puts me to shame. He also has a good sense of humour about things.

POPSMaking your exit smoother In the past couple of days I've spotted clips on Dating, and yesterday was unusal childrens names, so today it's unusual ways to be 'laid to rest'

POPSKeeping Windows XP going. For a while now any PC's I've sold I've been doing this to for a few customers, mainly those who want to keep everyone the same OS, or those with 3rd party apps that Vista doesn't support. However I've just started using Vista and so far I'm impressed.

POPSPhotographer or Terrorist I'm a budding photographer and this strikes home with me, occasionally I get the thought about if I should be out with my camera or not. Prefer now to be out with it only when my mates are out with theirs.
