Most of the time when we see photos of beautiful places on Earth they are places we can recognize (geographically) or relate to in some way or another (mountains, waterfalls). The same could not be said for some of the places outlined in Dark Roasted Blends article on alien looking locations here on earth, including its isolated islands and smiling trees.

In the hopes of saving metal music (could we do without? I think so.) the ever popular Metallica is looking to win fans over with their new album, Death Magnetic, after failing miserably with their last album, St-Anger. As many of you know Metallica is not very well liked on the internet as they have had an on-going (although failing) battle with online piracy for many years now. St-Anger was actually released five days prior to the official launch because the album was leaked over P2P.

Now comes 2008 and not to much as change. New album, new leak. A lot of the same game. You can probably enjoy the album if you click here. I have yet to listen to the whole album so I can’t really give my opinion on it but I’m sure you can get a good idea from here.

You’ve seen Safari, Firefox and Internet Explorer (and maybe some of you Opera) but you have not experienced the web until you’ve used Google’s new weapon into the browser war, Google Chrome. Quite possibly the easiest, simplest, fastest and most elegant browser I have ever used. It has been a while in the making but it has finally arrived. I’m afraid to see what this will do to firefox’s market share as many firefox users only want the best and will make the move quite willing to get it. The plug-ins are one of the major things I have missed so far but I’m sure Google will provide there own solution to this problem. You can download it now (free) here.
