singingfish (Ingmar) - Downloading mp3s for free on the web is illegal? Such sites get shut down immediately? Well, if you're looking for fairly mainstream stuff, try this site. Operated by AOL!

eyeos (Evangelia) - This site gives you a 'virtual os'. Think of some simple operating system running on a remote server ... and you can access it with a web interface! Access your documents from anywhere and with any machine.

virtual earth 3d (Christoph) - Microsoft scores against Google in the earth browser war: textured 3D models provide an almost photo-realistic impression of entire cities, a single interface unifies route planning with 3D exploration, and virtual poster walls are a new advertising concept for earth browsers.
