Are You Using Google’s Music Beta?

Google’s Music Beta allows you to place your music collection in the cloud, quite similar to what Amazon’s Cloud Player and Apple’s iCloud do. The tech giants appear to be ready to get into a head-to-head battle with each other, with your tunes up for grabs. As of right now, Google’s Music Beta is free to use. How does it compare to the other offerings, though?

 You can download free tracks when you receive your invitation to the Music beta. As soon as it was announced, I signed up for my invite. I received it in fairly quick fashion. The email told me to click to accept, and had me download the program for my operating system. I was then easily able to sync my music into the Cloud with just a click or two. Chris Prillo 

New internet addresses for the test

IPv6 is the next-generation of unique identifying numbers for computers and other gadgets connecting to the internet and is designed to replace the original addressing system, IPv4, which is nearing exhaustion. IPv6 provides more than four billion times more addresses than IPv4 - more addresses, for example, than there are grains of sand on Earth.

The change to IPv6 mainly impacts internet service providers, websites and network operators who have to make sure their systems can handle the new online addresses and properly route traffic. News 24 

Great news for people with "big" websites! I must say since the "trial"test today, I have experienced faster page load on Google and Facebook! The pages look and feel stable.
It will be a huge job to switch everything over to IPv6, but it's worth it...

Google maps update! see when your train/bus will arrive live

Taking the train

                or 

    Taking  Your Bike? 

Google has offered travel information in Maps for quite some time, but now it’s going real-time – in a handful of cities, at least.
The company has just announced that live public transport information has been added to Maps for Boston, Portland OR, San Diego and San Francisco in the USA, Madrid in Spain and Turin in Italy. Departure times for buses and trains will be updated in real-time, meaning that if your ride is late, you should know about it. ~ The Next Web
