Magzines Online
PM-Magazin
has a variety of articles
covering many disciplines of science.c't
a German computing magazine
that covers all areas of computing.
Newspapers Online
Most of the major newspapers have online companions in the meantime.
Too many to actually read them all. However I like to read
USA today
and the New York Times
every once in a while to see what's going on in the world.
Another good resource if you know German is
Die Welt
. For news
in Japanese I visit Asahi
Shinbun
occasionally. (It's still a little too advanced for my limited
knowledge of Japanese.)
TV News Shows
Although CNN and others present a
large variety of topics my favorite news show is the German
Tagesschau
a daily 15 minute
news show. (I watch it using RealPlayer.)
Strictly Online
The catagory might seem redundant since all of these resources are
found on the Internet. In contrast to some of the other links I listed
these services can only be found online.
I first read about The Nando Times in
an article about useful uses of Java applets. They provide a rather nice
news applet that keeps
you uptodate on different catagories.
More and more online computer magazines are popping up and I like to read
a few of them. Java World is published
monthly with usually a midmonth update. It covers the JavaTM language
with tips, articles and news.
Linux World does a similar thing for the
linux operating system.
Movies
Enough now about all this serious news stuff. Let's get some
entertainment. The movie industry discovered the power of the web to
promote their newest features relatively early. And some are excellent
web sites in their own right although many are pretty lame.
Among the better ones are the StarTrek
movie web pages and I am hopeful for the upcoming
Star Wars movies. Oh, by the way
LEGO has some infos on there upcoming
Star Wars
models.
Have you ever had a look at the
Lost in Space site? It has a good VRML game!
Radio
More and more radio shows and stations are going online with life
or canned broadcast. Among them is my favorite radio station from home,
NDR2 
.
Feeling like some party music? Try
Open House Party There live stream is hosted by
BroadcastMusic.com.
