Have you ever wanted Linux to control your home? If so, here you go. Linux MCE is the new, free operating system that lets you stream media files, pause live TV just like TIVO, and even control your lighting and heating system -- and all from your mobile phone. All you need is a computer and hardware that supports it. Suddenly, the future that was predicted in The Jetsons doesn't look all that far-fetched.

Those of you who love to listen to free streaming music online, listen up. Streamzy lets your search for your favorite songs and then save them into a streaming playlist. Streamzy is the perfect tool for someone who wants control of their music, but would rather not have a bunch of media files clogging their hard drive. And the best part -- Streamzy is a completely free service.

If you like to play music as much as you like listening to it, then the following announcement will be music to your ears. The International Music Score Library, the web's number one repository for public domain sheet music, has reopened. The IMSL founder Edward Guo is also promising some big enhancements in the future, including a backup system and a few "collaborations" with a few "major organizations." Hopefully, we'll see what that means before long. But it's already cool.

Sometimes, it's just not easy being number one. Just ask Twitter, who is still having scalability problems right now. Users have seen the website down more than up lately, and some people have even started selling t-shirts with the infamous whale image you get when the site is down. The people at Twitter say that they are working on it, and we should see less and less down time before long.

For those who have grown tired of Twitter's "whale" of a problem, why not give another service a try? Identica, for example, is focused towards creating a fully scalable Microblogging network, which promises to be more stable and secure than Twitter without removing features. It also plans on supporting both OpenID and the microblogging-targeted OpenSocial network. While its status as a "Twitter killer" is unknown, Identica proves once again that necessity, like Frank Zappa, truly is the mother of invention.

Thanks Brad. Does anyone have the link to Indentica? I wanted to install it but can't find the homepage.
