Strangest thing!
My computer keeps playing metal music... and I have no idea why... like I downloaded a tab from ultimate guitar and my brother updated ubuntu with the make things pretty package thingo (tired atm) Umm... I was able to end a process before called like pulseaudio and it shut up but now its back on and the proccess isn't back.
Its confusing... and I was really happy to be back on ubuntu.

PPS: Are the rumors true about microsoft making it difficult to dl Firefox and more reccently is making google/gmail run slower?
Check your System Notifications in Control Center. I think Control Center is called System Settings in Ubuntu. Either way, you can call it up with a kcontrol command.

I don't think Microsoft would be stupid enough to do this, but I wouldn't put it pass them. They would be shooting themselves in the foot. I can see the Mac commercials now. Mac guy asks PC guy why he is so slow on the Interwebs
