The former Students from Abingdon, Oxfordshire may not produce a new Album. Thom Yorke, (Lead Vocals) seems to be the least interested in recording a new Album from the band that has greatly influenced music from the modern era we now live in.
Radiohead plans mostly on selling downloadable singles and EP's.
Although, in the mean time, we have found a new leaked single from the band, which is called "These are my twisted Words".
Beloved group ABBA, was one of the most iconic musical groups from the 70's and 80's.
They made lots of great songs which many people can relate too, and surely, there's at least one song you know and like from them.
Recently, there's been some rumours that ABBA was going to have a reunion in the O2 Arena in London where Michael Jackson was going to do his "This is it" tour. Unfortunately, this is not true. There will be no reunion. Although there is some chance that there might be one in the future, as Benny Andersson sharply stated; "You can Never say never, can you?", concerning the rumour.
Anyway, the only thing that I can say is Mamma Mia, Thank you for the Music.
Honey Honey, Take a Chance on Me.
Knowing me, Knowing You, The winner takes it all. I do I do I do I do I do.
Here Benny is seen as he talks about the false news

Shane Dawson has become one of the most subscribed people on YouTube and is now considered as a celebrity from the site we all know and love.
Shane does not use the typical sketch as seen in Smosh, Community Channel or Nigahiga.
He uses profanity and adult-related material, which may not be suitable for youngsters, but people love his videos and they have been a hit so tremendously that he is soaring his way into fame and probably even get a TV Show later in life.
After watching some videos of Shane Dawson TV, I must say that he is incredibly funny and maintains a good level of entertainment.
Dawson, tends to show his cats "Snoop" and "Mittens" very often in his sketches while improvising of what the cats might be saying at that moment.
He also has collaborations with various other "YouTube Celebrities" like LisaNova. Although the most frequent videos he makes is with the hilarious actress, Brittani Taylor who is a close friend of his.
Shane Dawson is guaranteed to give laughter and entertainment in all his works he has done so far via his YouTube account.
Shane also has a second channel called "Shane Dawson TV2" where he does Vlogs and remembers about his personal past incluiding some unusual surprises.
Aeroplanes nowadays are something to be concerned about. All of this began since the famous "9/11" crash in the City of New York.
Terrorism has soared all over the world and the civilians are in state of fright. The terrorists have succeeded their goal. Although not all aeroplane deaths are caused by terrorists.
Like any kind of transport, there are accidents; and they can or will be fatal. Yesterday I made one of my typical flights; Mexico City (MEX) - Houston (IAH) and it was far beyond a typical flight.
As we were just on the plane the turbulence began. The turbulence was one of a kind. This was not your average one.
So when everyone began to cry, I knew something was wrong. The people were not insane, that wasn't the problem. The plane was going up and down in a very brusque manner that I became worried. I just thought we were all going to die. My mother grabbed my hand. She also thought we were going to die.
Now I know the terror and horror the AirFrance crew and clients suffered while on the plane, dying because of pressure and lack of oxigen. This experience on a plane was just too much. Luckily for us, it terminated and I arrived safely to my port of call.
The next time you ride a plane, know that once something goes wrong while on the air, that may be your express ticket to death.
I was surffing on internet when I found this, I think it's verry intersting hope you like it:
Computer viruses may seem to be only a nuisance to the casual computer user. If you see the bigger picture, though, just imagine how governments, schools, and businesses were affected when certain viruses attacked and crippled their systems. These viruses spread even faster than a cold virus, thanks to the global network of computers known as the Internet. With computers disabled, imagine the organizations depending on those machines to operate and provide services. This virus attack would result in millions, even billions of dollars in damages and losses. Though not all of these malicious computer programs are massively destructive, there are still some that have caused a lot of damage. Here are the top ten most destructive computer viruses of all time. 1. ILOVEYOU a.k.a. Lovebug/Loveletter Virus The ILOVEYOU virus was a computer virus that many consider to be the most damaging virus ever written. It spread itself by email in 2000 through an attachment in the message. Once opened, it loaded itself to the memory, infecting executable files. When a user received and opened the email containing the attachment “LOVE-LETTER-FOR-YOU.txt.vbs”, the computer became automatically infected. It then spread itself by infecting executable files, image files, as well as audio files like MP3s. After that, the virus sent itself to others by looking up the addresses contained in the MS Outlook contact list. The virus was written by a Filipino programmer who was still a college student at that time. He said the release of the virus was only “accidental.” This virus spread throughout the world in just a day, infecting computers of large corporations and governments, including the Pentagon in the United States. It caused billions of dollars in damages. The actual “damage” occurred during the removal of the infection from computers, as email servers and computer networks had to be shut down before the virus could be removed.
Love Letter Virus 2. CIH a.k.a. Chernobyl Virus
Deadly PC Virus This virus was considered one of the most dangerous and most destructive viruses ever because it had the ability to remain undetected in a computer’s memory, infecting every application that was run. First released in 1998, the CIH virus infected executable files of the operating systems Windows 95, 98, and ME. This virus also was accidentally distributed by a software vendor, contributing to the massive infection of computers. What made this virus dangerous was that it had a trigger date. Once that date was reached, it overwrote the files on the hard drive and completely destroyed its contents. It also had the ability to overwrite the BIOS of the computer to prevent it from booting up. This virus was also known as the Chernobyl virus because some variants were set to destroy data in computers that coincided with the nuclear power plant accident. 3. Melissa Virus Released in 1999, the Melissa virus was another mass-mailing malware that was said to have infected up to 20 percent of computers worldwide. This included the networks of Microsoft, Intel, and other companies that relied on MS Outlook as their email client. Email servers around the world were forced to shut down in order to prevent the virus from spreading, as well as to remove the virus from their system. The virus came through email including an MS Word attachment. When opened, it emailed itself to the first 50 people in the MS Outlook contact list. It also overwrote the document files in the infected computer with quotes from the famous cartoon TV series “The Simpsons.”
Melissa Virus 4. Code Red The world had not yet recovered from the damage caused by the ILOVEYOU virus when Code Red was released in mid-2001. Unlike other viruses, this one only targeted certain computers running the Microsoft IIS (Internet Information Server) Web Server, exploiting a bug in the software. Once a computer was compromised by the virus, it would modify the handled website, displaying the message “Welcome to http://www.worm.com/! Hacked by Chinese!” Then, it would later seek other computers running the web server software and do the same thing. After about two weeks of infection, the virus was programmed to launch DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks on certain websites, including the server of the White House.
The Code Red Virus 5. Bagle Bagle was another classic type of mass-mailing malware, but was quite complex. First detected in 2004, it infected users through an email attachment, and also used email to spread itself. Unlike previous mass-mailing viruses, Bagle did not rely on the MS Outlook contact list to make a list of where to send itself. It harvested email addresses from various document files stored in the infected computer – from plain-text files to MS Excel files. The danger of this virus was that its design opened a backdoor where a remote user – probably the author or a group of hackers - could gain access and control of the infected computer. It could download additional components to either spy and steal information from the user or launch DDoS attacks to certain networks and computers. Though the original Bagle virus was designed to stop spreading after January 2004, hundreds of variants today are still out there, spreading.
Detected a Bagle Virus 6. Blaster The Blaster virus was a complex malware that spread itself not through email, but through a vulnerability in both the Windows 2000 and Windows XP machines. This malicious software was detected in mid-2003 and by then had infected hundreds of thousands of computers. Once a computer was infected, it displayed a message box indicating that the system would shut down in a couple of minutes. It was also programmed to launch a DDoS attack to a server run by Microsoft by April 2003, but was already contained by that time. Discovered in the code was a hidden message to Microsoft founder Bill Gates saying “Billy Gates, why do you make this possible? Stop making money, and fix your software!”
Message of the Blaster Virus 7. Sasser Sasser was another complex computer virus that crippled thousands of computers, and was written by a 17-year-old German student in 2004. Sasser did not spread through email, and did not require any human intervention to compromise computers. It infected computers by exploiting vulnerability present in both Windows 2000 and Windows XP machines, known as the RPC (Remote Procedure Call) exploit - the same vulnerability used by the Blaster virus. Sasser successfully infected and shut down thousands of computer networks in just a matter of days. After infecting a computer, it is programmed to access the Internet to search for other vulnerable machines so that it can infect them. Sasser also displayed a notice indicating that the system was shutting down.
System Shutdown 8. MyDoom
Google hit by virus-driven traffic Another mass-mailing virus that caused a lot of damage was MyDoom. Though it was primarily written to spread through email, it also successfully infected computers by infecting programs stored in the shared folder of the Peer-to-Peer software KaZaA. Detected in 2004, MyDoom slowed down global Internet access by ten percent, and caused some website access to be reduced by 50 percent. Upon infection, it looked for email addresses from contact lists and sent itself to any addresses it found. It was said that during the first few days, one out of ten email messages sent contained the virus. It was only stopped from spreading after about a month. 9. Sobig.F
Sobig Suject Lines Computer users were still recovering from the damage caused by Blaster in 2003 when another mass-mailer known as Sobig.F attacked. This computer virus caused billions of dollars in damage by stalling or completely crashing Internet gateways and email servers, resulting in the merciless slowing down of global Internet access. It harvested email addresses from various documents found in the infected computers. The virus then sent itself to these addresses. It was able to send over a million copies of itself within just a few hours of the outbreak. By September of 2003, it had deactivated itself, having been programmed to do so. It then ceased to be a threat. 10. SQL Slammer SQL Slammer is the least damaging virus in this list. It still caused a considerable amount of damage, though, by overwhelming routers, causing them to shut down. The target of this virus was web servers running a vulnerable version of Microsoft SQL Server. Only computers that ran this server software were infected, but it caused the slowdown of Internet access around the world. In just under ten minutes, it was able to infect thousands of servers center away. Upon infection of a server, the virus generated random IP addresses through which it attempted to further infect other computers.

Conclusion The main reason why these computer viruses caused so much damage world-wide was because most people were not aware of such threats and were not protected against them. Today, there are still thousands of computers that remain infected or are continuously being infected by old and new viruses. To avoid this, it is very important to keep a good anti-virus software program running and frequently updated. Other safety precautions include having firewall software, and updating the programs that you use to access the Internet, including email clients, server software, and Internet browsers.
Right now, I'm stuck in the most chaotic, most horrendous, most insane traffic in the world. The people just ignore the street signs and don't care just a single bit of the other people. I just don't understand why they are so aggressive. I know, they may be late for an appointment, but that doesn't mean you have to kill yourself in the process. Oh well, every country has its own unique way of driving, and that's just the way it is in Mexico City.
