    I certainly don't think Spotify is a "best product". It came to the U.S, hit the brick wall that is the U.S record industry, and went from "ooh!" to "aww!". Crippled the crap out of it. Google+? At least Facebook doesn't make you use real names..like that is safe, Google *golfclap*

    I haven't been through the rest yet, just wanted to toss in a couple of pennies on those two services :D

    I've always preferred Grooveshark, but I appear to be in a minority.

    Not quite. You can add a name along with your real name. Say your friends nickname you something, well, you can use that name as an alternate name, which your friends can look up. However, your main account name is still required to be real.

    More fool them then! These are probably the same people who wake up one day to find that they are victims of identity theft & wonder why. I've seen people post their phone numbers on Internet forums. The less information you give away about yourself the better in security terms.

    Canon because of lense quality and choices but Nikon is my choice with Nikor lenses.Top two choices by pros Nikon and canon not necessarily in that order.;) ITs not about the camera body its all about the optics.I have lenses for my nikon that are tack sharp.My sister in law wanted portraits of my niece and when I told here I had no fussion filter to soften the image she said dont worry about it,I said ok and when I shot my niece and all her zits and skin imperfections showed like it was magnified she complained.Its not my fault the lens sees whats true to life.I warned her,she must of thought it was a disposable lens quality.

    I prefer Nikon myself, and DJohn is right, it's all about lenses. The best camera on the planet with crap lenses will take crap photos.

    So you're the bloke with that badly parked Saab! I should have known.

    Maxthon is OK, if you can understand how to install an adblocker in Mandarin. I couldn't.

    Eh, sorry, it was either that or parallel parking :D

    I tried Max for a week or so, even got the blocker set up (and it actually did alright), but I just never "clicked" with that browser *shrug*
