Napster, the revolutionary music file-sharing service, debuted 25 years ago in 1999. The service was created by college student Shawn Fanning and it quickly gained popularity, making it easy for music ethusiasts to download copies of songs that were otherwise registered on its network.

However, Napster’s operations were riddled with controversy. The service faced numerous legal battles over digital rights, with litigation from various angles, including the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), Metallica, and Dr. Dre.

In 2001, the original Napster was shut down after a successful court injunction. Today, Napster is a paid music streaming service.

It’s National Chicken Curry Day! Here are some common ingredients that go into a chicken curry:

1. Curry powder – It is the only spice you need. Any brand is fine.
2. Garlic, ginger and onion
3. Chicken broth/stock and coconut milk – it is used for creaminess and flavor. It is recommended to use only one cup of coconut milk to avoid having the dish be too rich.
4. Chicken
5. Peas – but they are optional

We have plenty of social media services, so let’s be glad that these are no longer around:

1. Launched in 2013, Vine was a platform for creating six-second looped videos. It was discontinued in 2016, because Twitter – its parent company – decided to cut costs and focus on it core products.
2. Once the largest social networking site, Myspace rebranded in 2011, pivoting to focus on music and entertainment.
3. Launched in 2011, Google+ was Google’s attempt at a social networking platform. It was shut down for consumers in April 2019 due to low usage.
4. Clubhouse launched in 2019 as an audio-based social media app. It’s still around, but in April 2023 the company announced a 50 percent reduction in its staff.

If your New Year’s resolution is to drop weight, but you’re finding it hard to give up your love of junk food, we want to remind you that an Iowa science teacher ate nothing but McDonald’s for six months and lost 56 pounds.

This happened in 2014 and John Cisna’s cholesterol level dropped significantly. Cisna eslisted his students to help him plan a 2,000 calorie daily diet consisting only of food the fast food giant sold. They also tried not to exceed the recommended allowances of nutrients like carbohydrates, proteins, fat, calories and cholesterol.

During the experiment, Cisna also walked 45 minutes every day. Cisna says he was able to get healthier simply because he made smart choices.

It is National Whipped Cream Day! Here are five facts about whipped cream:

1. It’s old. Whipped cream has been around since the 16th century. It was included in recipes that date back to 1549 in Italy and 1604 in France. It was first called whipped cream in 1673 according to the Oxford Dictionary, but the French did have a recipe for whipped cream back in 1629.
2. It used to be called “milk snow” in French as well at Italian. A 1545 English recipe for “A Dish Full of Snow” is a variation on whipped cream. It includes egg whites and rosewater.
3. You can whip it with a branch. Up until the 19th century, recipes for whipped cream called for whipping the cream with a willow, or rush branch for a practical whisk as it takes over an hour to make a batch.
4. Cream only whips at temperatures under 50 degrees. Any warmer and it becomes butter.
5. The world record for the tallest dollop of whipped cream on a mug of hot chocolate is 7 1/4 inches. The record was set in 2011.
