Instead of seeing that new page, the user
ExtremeTech reports on a new spywware program on the scene. It's name is Clientman and it seems to be a nasty piece of work. Read the article here.

XM's has a lot of competition up it's way with the anticipation of Apple's new, legal music service and Peer to Peer Networks. XM's Satellite Radio claims,
After reading the referenced article I kinda had to chuckle as I am not so sure that this site meets the criteria they are laying out for color design. I refuse to have a mainstream generic looking site. I am not a artist thats why we had someone else do the design work for this site and with our 1
