How The Game Is Played:
- In Clickris, the goal of the game is very simple, get as many points as you can by removing stones from the game field

Do you have a favourite internet radio station you like to listen to online? Wouldn’t it be great if something could save every song from it to your computer automatically?
Well that’s what this program does!
It’s very easy to install and very intuitive to use. For each stream that you select, StationRipper creates a separate folder where it saves each of the mp3’s from that streamed as individual files.
Later on, you can simply delete the ones you don’t want and keep the ones you like, for you to listen to any time you want. The new version will download album art for you – saving the album art with the MP3. Pretty cool way to save new music you discover.

Zattoo is a program that enables you to watch live television on your computer. Some of the channels currently available are ARD, arte, BBC Prime, BBC World, Bloomberg TV, Canale 5, CNN, EuroNews and EuroSport, to name but a few. (Also many non-English speaking channels).
The bad news is that, currently, Zattoo will only work in Switzerland, the good news is they say they plan to go worldwide with it “soon”.
This looks like it could be a good service, as they say that it’s better than the usual internet video quality. They say it’s equal to TV quality. It remains to be seen if they can keep their promise, as my country isn’t currently served. But i was able to add my email to their mailing list so i can be notified when (if!) it is.
But it seems like one to watch, no pun intended! Check it out here.
