Google Music Llaunch: Coming Soon Alongside Android Gingerbread 3.0 Posted: 27 Jul 2010 01:27 AM PDT Google Google music, according to purported insiders, is all geared up for its music launch alongside Android Gingerbread 3.0. Google's Android head Andy Rubin has been reportedly negotiating with Harry fox agency to secure for its music service, tentatively called "Google Audio", 27000 songs over others. Google has been stepping up its talks and focusing on securing rights for independents to hasten the Music launch Date. There is a lot of possibility that the music launch date would be either November or in the month of December this year to capitalise on the holiday season of 2010. The details are still scratchy but it has been claimed that the service would be unlike the 1 which is currently operating in China and was launched in the year 2008. The service in China is more like a search engine for music, which allows the Chinese users to search and download songs without any charge and needless to mention, is available only in China. It is however not definitive whether the much talked about Google service would be a streaming or downloading service or both. As Fox agency and Google have denied to  give any information on the discussions between them, it is a most probabilistic view that it may be regarding pricing issues. The music industry is now ruled by Apple with a huge 28% of the market share. Behind it, Walmart and Amazon both share around 12%. If Google is hoping to capture a market like this, it has to deal with the completion besides ensuring quality music service to bring in the customers.

Anna Chapman, Spy [Photos], copped along with other 10 Posted: 26 Jul 2010 11:30 PM PDT Anna Chapman photo This is no secret that Russian Spies were roaming about in the cities of the U.S.A. 11 spies were busted, but there was one charming spy, who could mesmerize just about anybody. The name is Anna Chapman. She belongs to the city of New York and looks no different from any of the Bond girls. Actually she is a real one. Unfortunately, the green eyed girl has been sentenced to five years in prison by the U.S. Court for not disclosing herself as an intelligence agent to the U.S. Attorneys. It seems it is completely normal and legal to send spies in another country as long as the Government of that country is aware of it. Anna is a post-graduate in Economics and a divorcee. She has an apartment in the Financial District. The 11, copped, had been living in New Jersey, Viginia and New York for about 10 years. They were caught while Anna, in a coffee shop, was sending some secret information via computer to one the other 10, who was standing outside his car. They were connected by secret closed network.

The initial releasing date was set as August the 6th but not the slated date has forwarded to the 10th September, on the auspicious festival of Eid. This change has really turned heads since the movie is high on the promotional aspect. The producer of the film, Bhushan Kumar talked upon this issue and said, “Yes, we are not releasing the film on 6th August. In fact, we haven’t taken a call on the new date yet.”  When inquiries were made related to the new release date and the competition it would supposedly face with movies like DABAANG and WE ARE FAMILY the producer replied, “It’s uncertain at the moment. We will arrive at a decision [on the new date] within a week or so.” Now the main question on every one mind is that after all why was the date changed at all?

Also, since we are planning to have a really big release in Pakistan, releasing the film during Ramzan would’ve hampered the business prospects. In view of the fact, we decided to shift the film to a latter date”
