Written by Petteri Pyyny @ 25 Jun 2003 7:20 User comments (1)

Yahoo! has launched today customized European versions of its online music service Launch. Launch, originally an independent company that Yahoo! acquired in June, 2001, operates as Yahoo's music portal, offering music videos, interviews, fan pages and music news.

Yahoo's mission is to "become an MTV of the online world". Launch debuts in Europe with five different localized versions: UK/ROI, France, Germany, Spain and Italy. Company re-opened the Launch last year after a major revamp and, according to analysts and Yahoo's spokesperson, is making "good money" for the Net giant -- mostly by allowing record labels to promote their artists via various methods utilising multimedia content.

	Roomba Plus 505 Combo review - Surprisingly good and relatively affordable robot vacuum In our review, we go through the pros and cons of the obstacle-avoiding, mopping Roomba 505 Combo+ robot vacuum. During a long test period, the robot's cleaning performance was pleasing, but it was far from perfect.
