Metaleks writes: 'Tis the season to be jolly. But all is not well. It would seem that YouTube is censoring those who lack Christmas spirit. One after another, atheists on YouTube are being removed from Top 100 lists, and having their channels stripped of any honours. To prove this wasn't some sort of YouTube glitch, one atheist went as far as creating another account. As soon as he was "discovered" of being an atheist his videos were stripped of any honours and his name taken off of the Top 100 lists. Why is YouTube censoring atheists?

The Seminal estimates that Radiohead sold about $10 million-worth of albums as of 10/12, assuming that their source was correct that approximately 1.2 million people downloaded the album from the site, and that the average price paid per album was $8 (we heard that number too, but also heard that a later, more accurate average was $5, which would result in $6 million in revenue instead)."

Bengt writes: Google has a new search site named SearchMash which is used to test the users response to new features. Infoworld has a short article on the subject.

According to a Google spokeswoman:
"The goal of Searchmash is to test innovative user interfaces in order to continually improve the overall search experience for our users." The experimental search engine looks very different from Google's Web sites and lacks Google branding. In this way, Google believes the site will yield more objective feedback from users

It allows you to use the pre-release keys that Microsoft so willingly gave so many of. http://cyber-knowledge.net/blog/2006/11/12/vista-c racked-shortly-after-leak/"
