7 things I did not know last week

A week on a calendar
  1. Basshunter started to produce music in 1999 with the computer program Fruity Loops (Now: FL Studio).
  2. As of 2007 there were 200 million dead blogs.
  3. Google Reader trends has a 'starred' tab, often a better indication that I have saved a post for thorough reading at a later stage, than simply skimmed to check if there was anything of interest in it.
  4. You can stream live radio on iPlayer but you cannot download radio programmes on iPlayer for rights reasons.
  5. You cannot play radio programmes on iPlayer on the iPhone and iPod Touch yet.
  6. The iPhone takes screenshots of everything you do to create the window-shrinking effect when you press the 'home' button.
  7. The dollar sign probably comes from the Spanish coat of arms, but there are several other possible origins, none of which is certain.
