Does Harry die Really in the latest J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows? I was just amused to know that people are placing bets on whether Harry lives or dies. Now that's really hilarious.
Well, the Deathly Hallows are Harry's invisibility cloak which has been passed down from generation to generation, a stone that brings back the dead which is hidden in the snitch Harry first caught in his mouth left to him by Dumbledore in his will and the elder wand hidden in Dumbledore's tomb, which is taken by Voldemort.
R.A.B. is actually Sirius' brother Regulus in spite from what Voldemort did to him. After he died in the cave he left the task to Kreacher to destroy the locket but Kreacher was unable to even open it.

Well, Kevin Rose is one of the founders of Digg, and has come out with a brand new service called Pownce. He has quite ambitiously sent the company out to the ever challenging Internet marketplace. Pownce is a new network of instantaneous client that offers the functionalities of Twitter/Jaiku, allowing the sending of messages, files and events with the other users.
This new system has developed its client on Adobe AIR(Adobe Integrated Runtime ), and hence it is necessary to install the AIR to your computer. Since AIR is currently only being available for Windows and Mac. If you have Linux - you will have to hope just a little bit.

The first software I see as a worthy alternative is called Abiword. It is today's fast and most powerful word-processor. It makes it very easy while writing a large letter and/or document due to it's fast and simple word processor engine. Open source, compatible multiplatform and easy integration with Microsoft Office is all there with Abiword. The main reason that this can be considered is due to its reduced footprint on your hard disk and RAM.
Other nearly indispensable software nowadays that one can use in order to create and modify calculation sheets (the equivalent of Excel of Microsoft), is called Gnumeric. Gnumeric is again Open source, multiplatform, fast and light.
Did you feel that we lack one good alternative to Outlook (which isn't there with the Openoffice.org Office Suite)? Obviously not, we have Evolution. It's again multiplatform and also open source.
