Um, Did Google Just Quietly Launch A Web-Based iTunes Competitor? Yep.
Um, Did Google Just Quietly Launch A Web-Based iTunes Competitor? Yep.
There were a couple of pretty big developments at the recent Google I/O conference:
Today at Google I/O, Vic Gundotra introduced Froyo, aka Android 2.2. But he also went a bit beyond Froyo. Coming soon, is a way to download an app through the Android Market over the web — and have it automatically download on your Android devices too. But that’s not all. Gundotra also showed off a new section of the Market — Music. Yes, an iTunes competitor on the web from Google.
Details are sparse at the moment, but here’s how this basically works. You go to the Market on the web, find a song you like, click the download button, and just like with apps, the song starts to download on your Android devices. So it’s iTunes, over the web, with auto-syncing. No word on who the partners are for this, what the prices will be, etc. Undoubtedly, we’ll hear more about that soon.

Liveleak presents the video compilation WTF did I just watch – LOL!!. I think I agree with Geekologie’s assessment:
This is a ten-minute video compilation of WTF moments in television and movie history from across the globe. It’s scary as hell, I’m not gonna lie. You’ve probably seen at least some of the videos, but there were a bunch I hadn’t yet, so I’m even more scarred now. Awesome. I definitely recommend watching it drunk though, because, well, I recommend watching everything drunk.
Holy crap this video is awesome/disturbing/surreal. Beer will definitely make it more good.
