Well it seems that the RIAA have finally got thier way, they threatened not to let the russian government into the WTO unless the site was shutdown. arses, lol.

The good news though is that, the company behind allofmp3.com have launched another mp3 website called MP3sparks.com, which uses the same interface, and user database, users of allofmp3.com can login to the site with thier details and access thier balance and download tracks. So really all I can see thats changed is that they’ve changed thier name and created a new skin for thier interface. I’ve always thought the name “all of mp3″ was a bit naff anyways, mp3sparks sounds much better 
Also another similar site that got my attention was mp3sugar.com, I dont think they’re run by the same people, but it looks like a similar service, ive yet to try it out though. plus theres always torrents, newgroups etc.
In other news, the recently released iPhone has had its root passwords cracked and had its firmware released onto the web.

I think it’ll be cool to see all the new things people can come up with..
Thats all for now folks
