Relax with binaural beats
Some say that the use of ambient sounds can help you focus before a test or help you sleep better at night. We're not sure if this is true or not but a cottage industry has emerged in the belief that it does.
We previously reviewed I-Doser which offers their sounds via CD or software for a fee. But it seems that the developers of I Dose believed in the science so much that they are offering their services for free.
Binaural Beats, as I Dose calls it, simulate various states of mind. We tried the Coffee break beat and following I Dose's recommendation we sat down, put on our headphones and closed our eyes and listened.
I Dose claims that the coffee break beat is to be used in place of a cup of coffee. What we heard was a bunch of ocean waves and at the end still wanted a cup of java. It could be that their definition of a coffee break differs than our overly caffeinated one.
While there are only about 11 beats currently available at the site compared to I-Doser's larger library, I-Dose's selection is more than capable of covering a wide range of moods and mental states. So if you want to give soothing sounds a try without paying for it or if white noise isn't your thing give I-Dose a chance.
With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet.
They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...

I tried it a few days ago. It's like hearing to static on the radio. Gives me a headache, rather than curing it.

I tried the Red Bull (wonder if they cleared that?) and it kinda woke me up. It sounded like an old truck trying to parallel park uphill on a gravel road, but still, it kinda worked.
Unfortunately this has become so popular they are only offering the m3u streams at the moment.

I try this one www.musicaine.net
They try to recreate the "electronic drugs" with mp3 set.
The results are incredibles. Maybe it's only suggestion but I feel strange for maybe one hour. Is it possible?

Here's another to try out www.vauxer.com. The really work, and the white noise (used there too) is extremely useful. Even babies enjoy the white noise...
