Free
Download Coldplay’s New Single
The new Coldplay single Violet Hill from the upcoming album Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends, which will be released June 12th, can be downloaded for free on their website. It will be available for a week and after that you have to pay. Not sure if I like it yet, but I think it might grow on me though. The beginning reminds me a lot of Phantom Planet’s California.

Last.fm Frees the Music
Last.fm just got better.
Something we’ve wanted for years—for people who visit Last.fm to be able to play any track for free—is now possible. With the support of the folks behind EMI, Sony BMG, Universal and Warner—and the artists they work with—plus thousands of independent artists and labels, we’ve made the biggest legal collection of music available to play online for free, the way we believe it should be.
Enso Is Now Free, Go Get It
A while ago I heard about this cool program for Windows, that allowed you to perform tedious tasks quicker. Just have a look at the screenshot I took above. I wrote the part that’s in white letters; “open photo” and Enso quickly suggested Adobe Photoshop CS3. Today that program, is free.
This is what it’s all about:
Enso is dead simple to use. You just hold down the Caps Lock key and type an Enso command, which is displayed in a translucent overlay. Once the command is typed, you simply release the Caps Lock key to activate it, and the overlay disappears. If you type fast, it all happens in a flash. For instance, to launch the Firefox Web browser, you just hold down the Caps Lock key and type “open firefox.” To look up the meaning of the word “proclivity,” you just hold down the Caps Lock key and type “define proclivity.”
Isn’t it cool? I’m already enjoying it immensely.
Free Hugs Campaign
This is so beautiful! With all that’s going on in the world, I think that something basic as this is exactly what we need.
South Park to be Available for Free Online
This is great news! I might be biased since I am, you know, a very big fan of the show.
MTV Networks plans to make every clip from every episode of hit animated comedy “South Park” available for free online next year as part of a strategy to reach consumers everywhere.

Redesign Of Free Danish Newspapers
I’m in school right now and a bit bored, so I decided to redesign the three major free Danish newspapers.
MetroXpress
Original:
I wasn’t able to find the actual logo from “metroXpress” that they use on their newspaper, but instead found the similar logo from their website. It doesn’t matter really, because my redesign resembles the original a lot because it has the globe in it, but it’s still quite different.
My design:
Urban
Original:
Except for the rounded edge, this is the real logo.
My design:
24timer
Original:
I didn’t spend that much designing this one, which I think shows a bit. I got a bit sloppy, but then again I don’t like this newspaper all that much.
My design:
