Fulfil unfulfilled garage band dreams with LiveDream

For a lot of people, the rock band dream starts in the garage (well it happened for the California Dreams). But for many, due to a lack of instrument playing skills and overall talent, a dream is all it'll ever be. If you still have the urge to grab a few cronies and rock out…

Bandai helps women understand the men

Why twitter is the coolest web 2.0 app on the block
