Unflappable Newsreader Ignores Giant Seagull
Australian newsreader Peter Hitchiner has been upstaged by a special guest during a bulletin – a giant seagull.
The bird stole the show as it walked past the studio’s camera filming the Melbourne skyline.
The Channel 9 newsreader was reading a story about a 27-year-old being murdered at the time.
Peter Hitchiner told a Melbourne radio station: “I was reading away…and I suddenly thought ‘Oh gosh that seagull’s back again’, because we had a bit of a problem last night.
“About 50 seconds to six o’clock this seagull arrived and started pecking at the camera and it had the beadiest huge eyes you’ve ever seen in your life.”
Luckily Hitchiner is an experienced campaigner and the bird failed to ruffle his feathers.
Avoid News44.org links
Avoid News44.org links at all cost whether on Facebook or Twitter! I was just informed about a dangerous virus attack on Facebook and also in tweets on Twitter using the word News44.org and asking you to check the link.
For the time I do not have much information about how this Facebook Virus (trap) is working but avoid at all cost. From some very brief details I was able to get from some friends, this News44.org can be both a phishing trap as well as contain malicious codes!
So even if you are extremely curious, do avoid this for now. Share this message with your friends so that they do not fall in this trap. I’ll try to gather more information about how this site is functioning and update as soon as possible.Facebook and Twitter has already been informed about this and tweets containing this word should be eliminated soon. If you have already been infected or think to have been, then clear your cache and cookies. Restart your PC and make a full scan of your system.

I have been using since the Beta Version then the Release candidate and I must say, this is far better version of windows compared with Vista and XP.
Uses so much less of your PC resources is unbelivable sharp and clean image even with the basic on-board graphic card. I must say that It sound really good and if you are planning to upgrade from your XP and by-pass your Vista, go for it. I recommend and if you are stuck in Vista with so much crashes and slowing down time go for it as well.
