I recently read this article about ear buds causing hearing loss and it’s very alarming as MP3 players are so popular today. So you own an iPod or Zen? You probably want to change the earphones / ear buds that comes with it. The article suggests using ear muffs / headphones because they have noise-cancelling which eliminate background noise unlike ear buds. This prevents the user from stepping up the volume of the device, possible for causing hearing loss after just about an hour of listening.

Recently Bugmenot.com was updated and the new site looks very different from what it used to be. The picture above (left) is the previous site. It’s all white and simple and it has a Googlish look and feel. The picture next to it (right) is the new Bugmenot site. It now has a dark façade.
Along with this update are new additional features: Bugmenot now shows the success rate for the login information. Success rate is easily computed using the votes from “Did this login work out for you” question — it is the ratio between “Yes” and “No” votes. It makes it easier to choose which login information works and which are bogus. The new Bugmenot also display multiple login info unlike before, it only shows one login info at a time. The new website is more convenient and useful.
No doubt that these new features make Bugmenot more effective and efficient in bypassing registrations; however, having the color themes of the site completely changed is a bit myterious. I think that the previous color theme of Bugmenot was just fine. Having a dark color theme isn’t bad but I just prefer the old one.
