Instead of Start->All Programs->Vendor->Program, I now hit the windows key, and start typing what I'm looking for (which is pretty quick) and I just click that.

You could do that in Windows 7. You could also use the same method to launch any documents, songs or videos on your drive, without needing the extra step of pressing the down arrow to select the "files" lens.

Comment This story brought to you by Twitter PR service (Score 3, Interesting) 50

Or rather, Tweetminster, who seem to be quite adept at planting PR stories in the news. Meanwhile on the ground - hardly anyone in Africa uses twitter. Those that have access to mobiles and/or the internet use MXit, despite what Tweetminster/Portland Communication's recycled press releases would have you believe

Feist is on her fourth album, and it was released on Interscope/Polydor. Hardly fits the description of a Canadaian artist's second album released on an indie label. In fact I can't find anything fitting that description on the iTunes chart. The fact that the poster didn't name the artist makes me suspect they are full of shit.

Why not try the blind test and find out for yourself? If it's too tiring for you, you can always break it into separate sessions. There's no reason for your ears or your temporal lobe to get tired after listening to music samples for 5 minutes. By the way, your friend's MP3 player could well have been playing Xin-encoded 128kbps MP3s - that's not what we are talking about here. Try comparing a decent lossy encode to the equivalent FLAC. Unless of course, you want to carry on with the self-delusion that you are capable of hearing a percepitble difference where countless others have tried and failed. That's fine, kid yourself if it makes you feel better, but there's no need to come on here and spout ill-informed nonsense.
