The Chinese are major music consumers, but theyre also among those who rely the most on piracy when it comes to listening to their favorite tracks.

Wipe your grill clean without the chemical waste by rubbing an onion against the grate of the grill. The Apartment Therapy blog explains that scrubbing a halved onion faced downwards on a heated grate will remove the grime and grit without requiring the hard and frustrating scrubbing of a Brillo pad. Plus, it's an affordable green alternative that won't cause putrid smells like most chemicals do. That is, as long as you like the smell of onions. Photo by allygirl520.

A recent comScore study showed that the popularity that Yahoo! is enjoying in the UK is growing smaller with each month. The websites of the search engine were used by merely 4.3% of the Britons in June. The stats from May showed that Yahoo!'s share of the search market had risen to 4.7% of the audience. Nevertheless, it was Yahoo!'s drop in popularity from May to June that was the most significant among the top ten search websites.

Considering the results of the recent elections, it seems like Yahoo!'s board of directors got more credit from the investors than everyone expected. Most of the current executives were voted by at least 80% of the stockholders, which gave them a sense of security, but now things are not as bright as they seemed on August 1.

The latest nightly build of Firefox 3.1 (Shiretoko) has native Theora and Vorbis codecs support. The man behind this implementation is developer Chris Double. This has been in the works for over a year and was considered necessary due to the <audio> and <video> tags of the new HTML5 specification, which are also supported by Firefox 3.1.

Many people, supporters and relatives of the competitors, want to get a front seat at the Olympics. Since tickets are almost sold out, some resort to anonymous websites that promise unbelievably small prices for the best seats in the house. Beijingticketing.com is one of these sites that scammed many people, one of them paying over $55,000 (in Australian dollars) for tickets for a family of seven.

A 502 server error prevented Gmail and Google Apps users from accessing their accounts for about 15 hours. The error, associated with servers that have to deal with too many connections, disappeared after the number of people who tried to access a specific location decreased. In this particular case, it took Google engineers over half a day until they managed to solve the problem generated by a server congestion.

Del.icio.us users now have the possibility to access the new version of the site, as the developer team promised it would happen in the near future.
