Flock is a new browser, built on top of firefox. It is a functional browser with excellent features (including firefox features like tabbed browsing, etc.). What really makes is stand out are two additional features they’ve added to build social networking directly into the browsing experience: social bookmarking and a wysiwyg blog writing tool. They have windows, mac and linux versions for Download.

Microsoft have released an official screen-shot of the upcoming Windows Media Player 11, allowing users to see the player in it’s full glory rather than in photo’s taken from slide show presentations at strange angles, or on some beta testers cluttered desktop.

The sidebar has been leaked and it works in XP. Here are the instructions how to download and install it.

1. Download the Vista sidebar, and decompress it (it’s a RAR file).
2. Copy the decompressed folder into the Program Files directory (C:\Program Files\).
3. Now go to the Users folder, and under your username create a new folder named Parts (C:\Documents and Settings\x20 in my case), and copy the files from C:\Program Files\Windows Sidebar\Parts into this folder.
4. Download this patch and put it in the Windows Sidebar folder mentioned above, then run the file named Patch (and do as it says).
5. Next up, download XMLRW.DLL and place it into the Windows Sidebar folder. This file is part of Internet Explorer 7, so if you have that beta, just get it from your own IE7 folder.
6. Now just run the sidebar (C:\Program Files\Windows Sidebar\sidebar.exe) and click the plus sign to load the widgets!

One of the best tricks to stop spam e-mail from reaching your inbox is by creating a disposable e-mail address. I’ve used a Hotmail account for spam for a long time, but recently, many services have popped up which serve exclusively to route spam to. Some of these services provide RSS feeds of e-mail, others let you forward e-mail to your real account. Some require registration, some don’t. See what works best for you.

• DodgeIt- no registration required, provides RSS feeds, receive-only.
• E4ward- requires registration, provides mail forwarding, allows multiple aliases of an account.
• KasMail- requires registration, allows up to 25 aliases, can set aliases to expire after a certain amount of time.
• Jetable- provides mail forwarding, account autoexpires after certain amount of time.
• Mailinator- no registration required, provides handy spam map, receive-only, e-mail expires automatically after a few hours.
• PookMail- no registration required, very simple to use.
• SneakeMail- requires registration, provides mail forwarding.
• SpamGourmet- requires registration, provides mail forwarding, can create custom aliases which automatically expire after a certain number of e-mails received.
• Spam.la- no registration required, no frills. You can see all spam being sent to all Spam.la accounts, or just your own.
