HTML5 Based Application to share, buy and discover new music everyday

Ever since MySpace cut its staff the other week, we’ve been wondering what social network/music discovery service could possibly replace it should it totally collapse. Well, UK-based startup MFLOW probably won’t be that service, but it certainly is fun.
MFLOW, by its own description, is “Twitter meets iTunes,” in that it allows users to both share and buy music. In essence, it’s a music discovery service/social network.
Basically, you create an account on MFLOW (for free) and connect it to your Twitter, Facebook and Buzz accounts (or any combination of the three). You can then search for music within the service’s 5 million song database (which is also ad-free), and then “Flow” a track. Flowing a track basically means sharing it on the aforementioned social networks.
When it comes to music, I was able to find a lot of my favorite bands thanks to UK partnerships with Sony Music, EMI and Universal, along with most of the independent labels and big aggregators. According to CEO Oleg Fomenko, MFLOW is currently working on deals that will hike 5 million tracks up to 7 million.
The first 10 tracks you Flow can also be downloaded for free and can be listened to by other users — sans payment. The only catch is that you can’t listen to a Flow over and over again, preventing people from liberally reaping the benefits of the services without paying anything.
Speaking of payment, you can also buy tracks using partner bank HSBC, and if another user buys a track that you Flow, you get credit for future purchases (20% of the cost of the song your friend bought).
Perhaps the most useful aspect of the service is discovery — the site features a “People Wall” that you can use to explore other people’s Flows (which you can listen to in full). You can also follow people on the service to get their latest picks. The only annoying thing is that the service doesn’t pull friends from Facebook, Twitter and Buzz, which makes it hard to find people.
Currently, the service has no mobile apps, but it is accessible on any device that supports HTML5, which is pretty awesome, because it will work on the iPad. Also, much like Spotify, MFLOW isn’t fully available in the U.S. yet — you can still listen to Flows and download your 10 free tracks, but you can’t buy music. MFLOW, however, has plans to become fully available in the U.S. toward the end of 2011.
MFLOW launched in the UK back in December and currently has 80,000 users who have — to date — sent more than 700,000 “flows” and purchased more than a quarter of a million tracks.

Turn-Off Laptop or Desktop Monitor Instantly

Most laptops don’t have a hotkey or button to turn-off their monitors. The only thing you can do is either decrease the brightness of the screen or close the monitor itself. The former still consumes precious laptop battery, while the latter is not practical because it traps heat and the sounds coming out of the speakers.
You can also tweak the PC’s Power Options in the Control Panel but the turning-off of the monitor will not take effect immediately — you still have to wait one minute (at the least) and that your machine should be inactive.
The WinFlog software can instantly turn-off your laptop or desktop monitor. The main program that runs this tool is incredibly undersized at only 20kb, yet it functions as expected. Also, it does not need to be installed.
WinFlog is a compilation of small but very useful applications. Aside from turning off laptop and desktop monitors, with proper registry setting, you can also use this software to turn-off and on Vista’s Aero, eject a CD, and switch windows in 3D.
You can download WinFlog at http://unlockforus.blogspot.com/2008/01/winflog-turns-off-your-monitor.html.
Select whether you want to open or save the zip file, and then click OK.
Wait for the download to finish.
If you’ve opted to open the zip file, an archiver program will immediately open the file for you after the download is complete.
Extract or de-compress the zip file to your preferred computer directory.
After extracting, open the WinFlog executable file (as shown below).
Click the Yes button to proceed to the next page.
This is the program’s primary interface. You can select your ideal language by clicking one of the language buttons.
To use WinFlog’s tools, just press the buttons with the green check mark. As an example, we will click here the Monitor OFF check button.
This function, however, only works with Window XP. I will show you latter on how to turn off your monitor if you’re using Vista as your operating system.
After pressing a button, the command is now set (for this instance, the turning-off command is now enabled).
To turn-off a monitor, just right-click the My Computer icon and
press Monitor OFF. This will instantly turn-off your laptop or desktop monitor. Aside from the My Computer icon, you can also apply the Monitor OFF command to your Desktop and Windows Explorer.
In Windows Vista, to turn-off a monitor, go to the location of the unzipped file and then double-click WinFlogTurnOff.exe (as shown below).
You can create a desktop, taskbar, and / or system tray shortcuts of this tool so that the turning-off of the monitor is just a click away.
Thanks and Regards !
