A very happy new year to all of you beautiful people! Thank you for being so great. I've injected extra effort into this one, so I hope you enjoy it even more. :)
[Update: My sister had pointed out some typos that I've now corrected. Thanks!]
1. Word (Updated [copy-paste issues]. Thanks, Anuraag, for pointing out.)
venal, adjective
Definition: open to bribery, corrupt, able to be bought (not only in the sense of corruption)
Example: The venal police officer changed his statement just at the sight of a few $100 bills.
2. Trivia
I'm not particularly happy quoting this, but anyway, "One THIRD of all Internet searches are specifically for pornography. It is estimated that 80% of all images on the Internet are of naked women."
Took this from an awesome post: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/18-fun-interesting-facts-knew-internet/
3. Link
I'm actually writing this after I wrote #4. Anyway, here's one from the best blog (ever!) about life hacks, and here's a breather: it's not only tech-talk. http://lifehacker.com/5720895/this-is-the-best-of-lifehacker-2010. Be warned though; this is an infinite link. (New coinage!)
4. List
2010 round-ups are still on. Here's from one of my favourite (tech :P) blogs: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/10-popular-makeuseof-posts-2010-year-roundup/
5. Download
Soluto: The idea of an app that helps you reduce booting time may be geeky, but that app isn't. Seriously. Check it out. I went from 3+ minutes to 1+.
6. Quotation
“There will come a time when you believe everything is finished. That will be the beginning.”
- Louis L'Amour
7. Blank
New category. Like a "Random" button. For this time we have:

I won't say anything about what the video is. The curiously awesome people will know. ;)
