New Marillion Album Free Download

By Digital Trends Staff Updated October 25, 2009

Marillion might not be a big name among rock fans any longer, but they’re hoping to increase their fan base by giving away their new album through file-sharing sites. All they ask for in return – in a pop-up box that appears before the download – is for your e-mail address so they could contact new fans with ticket offers and news.

The group believes its hardcore fans will still buy the CD when it appears next month. Keyboard player Mark Kelly told the BBC:
"People forget Radiohead were still number one in the album charts. They also say they weren’t very successful because they only got an average of £2 per download. But they wouldn’t have got £2 per sale from [record company] EMI, so in those terms it was actually a big success, and they still sold CDs."

Marillion has a track record of using alternative routes – in the past they’ve asked for subscriptions from fans to pay for album recording.

Best Adobe Photoshop deals: Get the photo-editing software for free

When it comes time to beautify some images, whether that's something as simple as cropping or resizing or something more advanced like removing objects and people from the background, there's really one well-known place to go: Adobe's Photoshop. Photoshop has become a catch-all word for any type of digital image editing. That's because Adobe's design suite is by far the favorite tool of digital artists, professional and amateur alike, and no other software comes close. There are comparable alternatives, like GIMP, but Photoshop reigns supreme. That's not likely to change any time soon, either, and it's no mystery why -- Photoshop is hands-down the most powerful and feature-rich app on the market for graphic designers, photographers, and other creatives, but it's not free, so it never hurts to look for a discount. If you're looking to use the tool and want to see a decent list of the best Adobe Photoshop deals this is where you'll find it:

Cable-free GPUs are real, and they’re the future of ultra-clean PCs

Asus gave us a glimpse into the future at Computex 2023 with its concept graphics card that is essentially cable-free. Instead of having any traditional 8-pin or 16-pin power connectors, the company showcased an RTX 4070 with a proprietary interface that draws power directly from the motherboard.

Reports now suggest that the company is pretty serious about the concept and is set to introduce products with the new interface later this year. According to WCCFTech, Asus has confirmed that it is working on mass-producing the "cable-free" GPU at Bilibili World 2023 exhibition in Shanghai.
