Qtrax free music player disappoints
Qtrax had promised a working beta last night, but we knew there was going to be problems after visiting the website. The company warned that downloads weren’t yet available and posted this message on the site. "We're thrilled with the massive response we've received. To ensure the best user experience, we're activating accounts in stages. In the meantime, enjoy all the functionalities of the Qtrax player like importing and playing your music and searching for artist-related content." Disregarding the warning, we downloaded the 9.4 MB install program anyways. After the install, the program scans your hard drive for music and appeared to crash several times during the process. We had to continually close and restart the program to get Songbird working again.
Peaches by the dozen
If it wasn't already the hottest ticket in town, it certainly is now. Kate Moss has given Punk - the small, but perfectly formed club in Soho Street - her seal of approval. She hired the whole place out for her epic, star-studded birthday bash on Wednesday night, but mere mortals can party there too. Fingers firmly on the pulse, six days before the Moss posse head down, we pay Punk a visit. As we arrive, Peaches Geldof is screeching orders into her mobile, "HURRY UP! You've gotta get down here by 9.30!" and swigging from a bottle of Veuve Clicquot. It's 8.55pm and we're just in time to make it in for free. We clatter gleefully downstairs and take up residence on velvet sofas in a roped-off section at the back. It's possibly a VIP section but no one seems to care, and we dispatch the boys to the bar for £12 bottles of house white wine.
In the Pink for Valentine's Day
According to the information on the back of my shampoo bottle, 15 percent of women send themselves flowers on Valentine's Day. I find that hard to believe. As far as I know, none of my friends have ever done that, and I think I would have run across at least one person sending themselves flowers by now, if almost one out of every seven women did. This is not to say that I can't understand why some women would want to send themselves flowers. Valentine's Day can magnify insecurities about being loved and feeling attractive. Fortunately, there are a few quick fixes that can still make a difference in the appearance of your skin in time for the big day. A few simple steps can improve the appearance of your skin even at the last minute. Avoid overdrying with soap or toners. Instead, use a gentle, hydrating cleanser, such as Cerave.
