Google Sings

Friday 27 January 2006

Rumours abound that Google is about to launch a rival to Apple’s iTunes.

A posting on Slashdot flags a Forbes report in which an analyst predicts that Google may be making a move into online music distribution:

Robert Peck speculated that it makes sense for Google to create a rival for the popular iTunes service by Apple Computer, given the explosive growth of unique visitors to the iTunes’ Web site. Further, ‘Nielsen indicates that iTunes users form a distinct target audience with brand preferences along autos, alcohol beverages, magazines, and television,’ he added.

Things that make you go hmmm.

What Goes On

THINGS TO SEE & DO TODAY

The House of Viktor and Rolf
- "...lives up to its name. The exhibition is dominated by a gigantic doll house, a graceful structure with Palladian proportions where miniature versions of 15 years of fashion fill the series of rooms on three levels."

Psycho Buildings
- "Specially commissioned work transforming The Hayward into a 'psycho building'" Good stuff.

From Atoms to Patterns
- "This exhibition explores the intriguing creations of the Festival Pattern Group - a unique project at the 1951 Festival of Britain involving X-ray crystallographers, designers and manufacturers. At the instigation of Dr Helen Megaw, a leading Cambridge scientist, diagrams of atomic structures inspired an eclectic array of patterns on curtains, wallpapers, carpets, lace, dress fabrics, ties, plates and ashtrays."
