google-now-stuff

Google made a relatively quiet announcement today regarding how it’s pushing the developer ecosystem forward around Google Now, its intelligent personal assistant for Android devices. The company has begun extending mark up tools for emails from select partners, which help highlight flight schedules, hotel bookings and various types of reservations, to make sure that Gmail can spot that information and use it to auto-generate helpful reminders in Google Now. The extension of the platform … [Read more...]

Beyoncé Is Expertly Manipulating Us All

April 29, 2013 By
happy-woman-2

Beyoncé—Earth-Bound Goddess, Queen of All Divas—has in the past year proved herself an expert at manipulating her image and her audience. She has an archivist, for goodness' sakes. And the way she's embarking on her tour and the release of her new songs, well, that's no different. While Beyoncé did release "Bow Down/I Been On" as an isolated track, the other songs we've heard—songs leading up to some sort of an eventual album—have come attached to advertisements that promote … [Read more...]

Google Tests Search Without Instant Previews, Moves Sharing Tool, Cached And Similar Pages To New Drop-Down Menu

April 24, 2013 By
google-logo111

Back in 2010, Google launched Instant Preview to provide users with a quick way to get a graphic preview of a webpage before you click on the actual link. Now, it looks like Google is thinking about removing this feature. Instant Preview is probably not a huge hit, given that Google wouldn’t consider removing it if it were a popular feature. It did hide a bit of useful functionality besides the previews, however. Opening these Instant Previews allowed you to also find similar pages and … [Read more...]

Facebook’s Latest Home Commercial Is Just The Right Amount Of Weird

April 13, 2013 By
zuck-n-goat

During the Facebook Home launch event, Zuck premiered the company’s first commercial for the product. Complete with half-naked dudes stuffed into luggage compartments, surprise drag queens, and an unintentionally spooky child, it was… pretty bad. One guy in the audience behind me whispered “Is this real life?“, faces were palmed, and the room was pretty quiet as the lights came back up. They aimed for weird-funny, but ended up with mostly just weird. Fortunately, their second … [Read more...]

Justin Bieber debuts ‘All Around the World’ music video

April 13, 2013 By

Justin Bieber has released his latest music video, "All Around the World," and is giving fans and critics a glimpse of his life during his "Believe" tour. The video plays out as a mash-up of footage from the 19-year-old's world tour and his performances of the song at various venues. It also shows the tour from his point of view. So it's fitting and fairly clever that his team approached the song in this manner. The YouTube sensation-turned-global pop star teased to the video on Twitter … [Read more...]

New Detroit Lions kicker is a YouTube sensation

The Lions haven't had to look for a new starting kicker since the first Bush administration. After 42-year-old Jason Hanson called it quits on a 21-year career earlier this week, the team quickly signed veteran David Akers as an option to replace him in 2013. But he's not the only option. Meet 28-year-old Norwegian Havard Rugland, who is perhaps better known by his YouTube handle, "Kickalicious." The left-footed kicker's amazing trick shot video has almost three million hits and basically … [Read more...]

YouTube Won’t Put Your Video Back Up, Even If It’s Fair Use, If It Contains Content From Universal Music

April 7, 2013 By
google-paid-this-man-100-million-heres-his-story

Patrick McKay, who has been a harsh critic of some of YouTube's failings when it comes to the DMCA process and various takedowns, has highlighted a very serious issue with YouTube that has received little attention. YouTube now admits that, when it comes to some videos that contain content from certain "partner" companies, it won't repost those videos, even if the video uploaders file a counternotice and show that they're relying on fair use. YouTube claims that it will still keep some of those … [Read more...]
