This is the new video from savetheinternet.com just released today. It features a “Mars Attacks” theme, with the telcoms as the aliens and has appearances by John Hodgman (“I’m a PC” guy), Ask-a-Ninja, Amanda Congdon, Bill Moyers and many others. This video rebuts the FUD video the telcoms are sponsoring and puts out the facts.

I dugg musikCube this morning after downloading and trying out this lightweight, simplistic looking music player. The download is just under 3MB, and its 2 – 4 MB memory usage while playing is far better than Windows Media Player 11’s 48MB!
Fancy GUIs are nice but when I thought about it, my media player is usually minimised anyway. When minimised musikCube hides itself in your system tray, popping up balloon messages when tracks change.
Its functionality can be increased with plug-ins, including an audioscrobbler plug-in, which means my last.fm profile will start getting updates! I’m going to give it a go for a while, it’s well worth a try.
After working with Nick, on several joint projects, we have decided to create a new brand for our products/services. Recently launched, our Evolution Blog will document the design and development of current and future projects.
HowToUseA.com is an editable collection of random, mostly useless articles on how to use simple items. The original inspiration was to create a whole site reviewing light switches of all kinds, including in-depth information on how to use them, however I imagine that idea would have been rather boring. Instead we bought the more generic domain, allowing us to experiment with various wiki’s, allowing users to create pages on anything they wish.
When you give your email address to a website, you hope that they don’t sell or trade your address to a bunch of spammers. Well if they do, here is a simple way to see what sites are responsible for what particular piece of email. This requires you have a Gmail account.
Got to say, these cards are definitely the best free stuff I’ve ever ordered from the webernets. They arrived this morning after a short wait. Basically Moo takes your Flickr photos and turns them into tiny cards. The personalisation process lets you choose which photos to print, but more importantly, which area of the photo should be printed, as the cards are fairly slim, you have to choose what parts to chop off!
The back of the cards can be used to add text, I decided to make them into mini business cards. With the free cards, you couldn’t remove the flickr logo, but the premium service allows you to do this.
Moo’s promotion – ten free cards for the first 10,000 Flickr pro users. A great way to market their service, by only offering the prints to pro users, they’ve instantly saved buckets of advertising money, and instead invested in giveaway cards, which are well targeted to an audience guaranteed to have the ability to purchase online.
The cards themselves are printed on think, high quality, satin finish paper, definitely worth investing in the 100 pack, except I can’t! They’ve limited themselves by choosing not to accept a more mainstream payment gateway, such as PayPal or NoChex. Moo currently only accepts Visa and MasterCard 😐
