Under Every Floral Dress You'll Find a Garter and a Gun

I used to be a member of Clan PMS. We were the world's first, and only (for a little while there) all-female Quake clan, formed so the few women who were playing at the time could hang out together.

Which Windows OS Is Best for You?

Last month I had a conversation with a friend about the best version of Windows. Neither of us could live without many of the features such as encryption or access privileges integrated with Windows XP Pro. So we both agreed that Windows XP Pro was the best choice.

Poll: How Global Is Newsvine?

I wonder how many different nationalities we have at Newsvine. I believe for Newsvine to have a real international news coverage we need to find out where do we have correspondents and where are our readers too.

Newsvine Censorship??

Yesterday, I read an article in odd news that reported some information about a supposed affair between President Bush and Secretary of State Rice. The "odd news" designation occurred because, as the seeder noted--it was an utter rumor.

Newsvine: Track your friends!

A new feature that I just noticed here on Newsvine (not sure if there has been any official word yet) is the ability to track your friends' comments (and other activity) across the Vine.

An Introduction to Matt Hoult

Jumping on a bandwagon is not my usual style, yet I not only joined Newsvine within hours of it's release, but I am also responding to Mykola Bilokonskys request for us all to write some self introductions. I guess then I should start with the basics.

An Introduction to Rukh

Here's my completely original and unique idea of writing an intro not at all influenced by Mykola Bilokonsky, other then the fact that the idea came to me directly after reading theirs, and that I'm completely ripping off the idea. ;)

Leonardo's Self Intro

I also decided to participate on Mykola Bilokonsky's self-intro idea. I am Brazilian and currently live in Switzerland. I really enjoy football and my posts on Newsvine are mainly about it, but I also post occasionally about other random things.

Newsvine 2.0 Obligatory Re-Self-Introduction (Ramble Warning)

So we've got all sorts of swank new features, and I felt that this warranted a renewed statement of just who the hell I am and what I'm about (complete with a new photograph, which I am contemplating changing back to something more evil).
