    What is that?
    Cloud store all of your music on google. http://music.google.com/music

    It's currently uploading 22k songs! Organizing them by artist, and attaching album covers.... problem right now is it's painfully slow. I started uploading at 7pm and it's only uploaded 346 songs.

    It also comes with an Android app. Streams AMAZING so far.

    I streaming my collection from my phone to and from work yesterday. A grand total of 102 miles of uninterrupted - perfectly quality music. Impressive.

    Google is phasing out support for older browsers from 1 August.

    Those using IE7, Safari 3, Firefox 3.5 and their predecessors to view Gmail, Google Calendar, Talk, Docs and Sites will then lose some functions.

    Got an invite to Google Music. Not convinced it be all that useful but at least it gives me a reason to clean up a pretty bloated library.

    If you've ever designed and managed a website, there is nobody you want to kill more in this world than people who use outdated browsers.

    Good on Google. I occasionally run into the occasional sod complaining of something I built acting wonky for them, only to find out they're still on IE6.

    It's really difficult though. After six attempts, this is all I could manage:

    I thought this Metallica one was pretty good.

    The Billie Jean one making the youtube rounds doesn't sound like Billie Jean to me.

    Picked up the new Samsung Galaxy Tab on Friday, brought it home, turned it on... fun.

    Oh wait... there's absolutely NO APPS for it. No Netflix, No WSJ, barely any books in the Google store, the Kindle app is pretty nice. Same as the one on the phone though...

    so what's the point?

    Returning it tomorrow.

    Indeed. State-of-the-art hardware means absolutely nothing to you because you can't do much with it without a matching ecosystem.

    That's why I'd never get a tablet that tries to compete with Apple.

    Unfortunate chicken-and-egg problem with the platform right now, from what I understand.

    No apps, low sales. Low sales, no developers. Which means ... no apps.

    It's sad, because I really don't want to get an iPad, but to get a tablet that does everything I want it to do right now, I have to get an iPad.

    The HP Touchpad comes out in two weeks, and as an employee, I wanted to be supportive, but there's still no confirmation of a Netflix app for WebOS 3.0.

    It's all about Apps for me.

    I want a tablet that can

    * Stream Netflix
    * Act as an e-reader
    * Play music
    * Check email
    * Browse
    * Store and organize PDFs.


    Everything else is gravy. Every other tablet I've looked at has ALL of these features - except Netflix. That's a deal breaker. Why get a tablet, no matter how good it is, if there are no applications that support what you want it for?

    It's kind of ironic. I Never owned or bought a Mac because despite the hardware quality, the applications available weren't what I wanted (gaming).

    In the tablet realm, Apple seems to be the only one who currently HAS the apps I want.

    Ah well. Decisions, decisions.

    What's your objection to the iPad? You note the quality of Apple hardware, the fact that it can do everything you want in a tablet, and it has a leading price point in the sector.

    Is it just wanting a different tablet?
