Music downloads

Via Gizmodo I found out about Allofmp3, which is a music downloading service. This one however, as opposed to others, charges you only for the amount of bandwidth you use to download the files. A pretty amazing/unbeleivable $0.01 per megabyte.

This means that you can download a whole album for $0.50 if you choose the lowest quality files and up to about $7 dollars for lossless files giving you the same quality as a CD. This makes much more sense to me than the set price per track pricing that other sites use.

If for example I loss al control and decide to download the complete works of ABBA, I can hope that I chose the lowest quality and it would only cost me a couple of dollars.

book review

Dan Simmons: Ilium (Gollancz S.F.)
A pretty good science fiction take on Homer's Iliad. Definitely worth a read. (****)
Edmund Cooper: Overman Culture (Coronet Books)
Good read, good ideas, read it if you can. (****)
John Meaney: Paradox
This was my first book by John Meaney and for most of the book I was pretty happy. It had a lot of interesting ideas about the structure of society and new types of technology. The biggest problem for me was that some of these could have used a lot more fleshing out. I had the feeling that somehow all these things would become clearer as the plot progressed but unfortunately that didnt happen. Still an enjoyable read by a new (to me) author. (***)
Iain M. Banks: Feersum Endjinn
I am a big fan of Iain M Banks and this was the first of his books that I read. Its a pretty unique story and the scale of the environment is a good new slant. When you start reading it takes a bit of time to get used to the parts that are written phonetically. But its worth sticking with it and after a while you almost dont notice :-) (*****)
Neal Stephenson: Cryptonomicon
This is a great book, especially if your even the smallest bit a geek. A good mix of face and fiction that is also humorous. Its not very often you get a blend of those that are as good as this. Big thumbs up. (*****)
