Live365.com
What else can I say but Live365.com rocks? With an audience of more than 3 million listeners each month, Live365's programming is created by fellow music fans. If you've got a computer and an Internet connection and enough music, you can create their own Internet radio station. The stuff you'll find on this site is amazing. From old radio mystery broadcasts from the 30s and 40s to Celtic triphop, whatever you're interested in—chances are someone in the world's got a Live365 station for it. The best thing is that it's completely legal. Live365 makes sure all its broadcast stations adhere to basic Internet broadcast radio broadcasting rules. Live365 also has licenses with the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers ("ASCAP"), Broadcast Music, Inc. ("BMI"), and The Society of European Stage Authors and Composers ("SESAC") which allow broadcasters to stream licensed music through their broadcast stations. How hot is that?

This is another one of those sites that uses a 3D-like visual metaphor to help you navigate a complex system of relationships. But unlike most of them, this one is actually useful! Type the name of an artist you enjoy in the search box and MusicPlasma will show you other artists whose music and musical career have ties to that person. This is a great example of complex visual information design. (Sighted by Lori Piquet)

If you've been wondering what Microsoft's much-ballyhooed search competition with Google is all about, check out this site. Here, Microsoft has made some of the ongoing research projects publicly available so you can get your feet wet with possible future services. Note that these aren't "finished" services, and they may not work correctly all the time. (Sighted by Russell Jones)
OQO, Inc.
Time to get small. Starting in the 1950s, people began dreaming about tiny, portable, yet full-featured computers. First, desktop computers shrunk the mainframe, then laptops made computing portable. PDAs and SmartPhones began to fulfill the promise of ubiquitous portable computing, but were limiting--and different--from your desktop. Fortunately, the effort to shrink computers hasn't stopped, as you can see by this 14-ounce Windows XP (yes, XP, not CE) computer (1Ghz processor, 256M RAM, 20G hard drive) with integrated wireless, full-size Firewire and USB connections, and a docking station. It's taken only fifty-odd years from mainframes to palmtops. I can't wait to see what's next. (Sighted by Russell Jones)
