If you had a million to spend, what would you use it on?

Ever thought what it would be like to win the lottery? Ever dreamt of going to a big shopping mall where you can just buy anything you like, put it in a bag, and drive home? That’s a really great fantasy and a very worthy one, but that’s not going to happen, so wake up!

But it doesn’t mean you can’t make a list of all the things you’d buy, if you just had the money and spendamillion.com lets you do exactly that - they give you a virtual £1,000,000 for you to daydream with and build your millionaire wishlist. Once you’ve got your wishlist you can edit it as often as you like, and of course share it with friends, or put it on your myspace or blog.

Looking for a Pandora replacer? Try FineTune

Pandora is still a great application for anyone who can use it, but lately it’s been shut down for users outside the US and people looking for alternatives, should try out FineTune. As in Pandora, you can just enter an artist name and start listening to a radio station with related music. You can also download a beatufily made desktop program to listen to the music and create your own playlists and radio channels, as well as share that information with friends and find people with similar taste to yours (and find out what they’re listening to!).

The system works great and the music you’re getting, is usually what you’re looking to hear. The buffering and availability are also high and the sound quality is good as well.
