>> The governments of the United States and Canada have changed daylight saving time to start earlier and end later in 2007. Your computer might not know this and that's a problem. Don't want to mess with patches or maybe you run an older version of Windows like Windows 98 that doesn't even have a patch for this. I'm Tom Merritt. Here's a quick tip for how to turn off daylight saving time in your Windows computer. The Windows clock runs the time for most of the apps in your computer so that's what we're going to change. Double click on the time in the lower right corner. Select the time zone tab. Uncheck the box that says automatically adjust the clock for daylight saving changes. Now comes the hard part. You'll have to remember to change the clock yourself on the new daylight saving time dates. Set the clock ahead by an hour March eleventh, set it back by an hour November fourth. If you still want it done automatically see our Insider's Secret on how to patch your system. I'm Tom Merritt and that's been this quick tip for CNET.com. Remember, spring forward, fall back. ^M00:01:05 [ Music ]

Red Hot Chili Peppers: "Dani California"
Many of the gods, goddesses, angels, demons and elementals of the universe have conspired to send messages from beyond through the Red Hot Chili Peppers for the current civilization. After a year and a half of channeling and organization these messages have taken the materialized form of the double album "Stadium Arcadium." Silence has curled up next to the band and taught them her song. If you let go and let this music take you by the hand it will take you flying through skies of sound. It will zoom you up well above outer space and it will show you around planes of existence that do not share the laws and conditions of this reality. And when it brings you down to earth it will dig deep into that shit. It will also teach you to fall back without landing on your ass and to fall forward without falling on your face. Let go and you can be two places at once, you can be as big as the whole universe and as small as an atom simultaneously. You can experience time forwards, backwards and sideways. You can unite with a star or a plant. You are everything you see around you and the ideas in this music may get you to start realizing what a great power that can be. The Red Hot Chili Peppers are learning all these things with whoever wants to come along. They are letting the invisible glorious kingdom of music give them shelter. They have crawled inside the body of music and they are inviting you inside. All is illusion which gives us all the wonderful opportunity to play with everything in existence. In the words of one of the supreme gods of funk, "Nothing is good unless you play with it." The Red Hot Chili Peppers have twisted up nature into a decidedly psychedelic form. They have made music that can drive you to a place where nothingness is motion and movement and stillness are one. They have played with light, darkness, sound, silence, form, air, and space to make music that plays with the listener. Born four separate people, they have successfully become one. Their music is proof that four minds can become one, which prompts the question, why not a billion minds? They recommend that you shut off your mind and let "Stadium Arcadium" fly you away to place where everything and nothingness are one. They recommend that you let the music take you away to a place where everything is OK. The Red Hot Chili Peppers and their holy guru Rick Rubin have put together music that can take you out of your body, so come inside the great outdoors. Breathe the water. Drink the air. Sleep on a cloud. Run up the beam of light from a star.
