LEAKED: The Neptune's Personal Drum Samples →
An engineer has supposedly leaked The Neptunes personal drum sample library, and the above link will take you to a site who happen to be hosting them.
Assuming you have some semblance of modern pop culture knowledge, you’d know they were responsible for literally half the charts at one point last decade.

These places can be on serious lock down - strict security polices help the pirates evade imprisonment and OFCOM.

Daily Mail-O-Matic →
Thanks to Stuart Braithwaite of Mogwai for linking to this brilliantly funny Daily Mail headline generator:

WatchFirst iPad video review I’ve seen. Gives a good summary of what is good about it, and the only complaint seems to be lack of flash for certain web services. I like it, and I do want one, but within a year they’ll probably release one with a camera.
