http://www.spywareinfo.com/

Here is a very useful link to spywareinfo.com, an
informational website on spyware, related infections and
recent developments. This site is great for general
information and provides recent articles, a discussion forum
and you can actually sign up for the “spyware weekly”
newsletter. The site is easy to navigate and the newsletter
is a fantastic way to summarize the world to spyware into a
page or so once a week. If you are interested or concerned
at all with spyware I recommend checking out this link.

www.sciam.com

This is Scientific American magazines website. This link
will provide you with almost anything you need to know that
involves science. I suggest looking up the scientific
explanation of the reaction when Mentos candies and Diet
Coke are combined. You could spend days browsing this site
quite easily.

Here is the one place to go to find anything that is big,
interesting and bizarre anywhere in the world. The material
here is constantly updated and always on the cutting edge of
cool. Whether it’s the newest reality show idea, latest
advertising stunt or a breaking consumer fad, coolhunter.net

I
think this is by far the coolest and most useful free thing
on the net right now. I can’t see this lasting for long with
the tightening copyright protection that is happening in the
music industry. Go to the link and type in the an artist or
style of music that you like and the website will
automatically generate an infinite play list for you enjoy.
Its amazing how well this works so try it out for yourself.
Just so you know, the program will not let you skip too many
songs, let you replay a song or burn music from the site.
These features most likely protect them potential lawsuits.
