You know the most amazing thing about this “product”? The voice recognition understood “Monsieur Gayno”!
I all seriousness, I think that this is silly. Silly because it’s something that doesn’t exist. It isn’t even close to existing. But the reaction people have is “Oo! Look at this thing that Google is going to come out with!” No, Google made a concept video. And that’s it. Google will never ship a product that does half of what this video is demonstrating.
Before there were MP3s, there were MODs. And “Beyond Music” was the coolest MOD of them all. I must have found this song on some local BBS back in the day. Or maybe CompuServe.
Does this bring back memories for anyone else?
Speaking of bringing back memories, did you know that The 7th Guest is available in the iOS and Mac App Stores?
I’m very happy to report that the two tests that my newly purchased iPad Smart Cover needed to pass were handled without any problems. “What two tests?” you ask? The two tests that demonstrate features I was annoyed that no one else mentioned in their iPad Smart Cover reviews.
It passes the second test particularly well. The inner suede-y microfiber lining (which faces outward when the cover is flipped around) grips the material of my pants very nicely. $40 is pretty steep for this cover, but I’m feeling no regret whatsoever. Unless you are super concerned about protecting the back of iPad, I’d say that getting one of these Smart Covers is essential if you get an iPad.
Apple selling one million copies of iPhoto for iOS in the first ten days sounds pretty impressive. Then you realized they sold three million new iPads in the first weekend. $5,000,000 in ten days vs. at least $1,500,000,000 in three days. 1.5 BILLION dollars. At least 300x more grossed by iPads in less than one third of the time. It kind of boggles the mind.
Holy. Crap.
