Video: Massive Online Jam Session

It's awesome to know that as we've come so far, technologically speaking, that we can have "virtual jam sessions" across the world with complete strangers. I have seen some of these put together before with editing techniques but this is all at the same time, with 8 people at once! - WATCH HERE

Relax w/ Streaming Nature Sounds & Ambiance

 

Call me crazy but I CANNOT sleep when it's dead silent. I need some sort of noise, like from a fan, or music to keep my mind occupied enough to let me fall asleep. I know, it's weird. So with the help of Lifehacker, Download Squad, and a couple of other sites, I've compiled a list of places that stream nature sounds and ambient music over your browser to get your mind and soul at ease.

SoundSleeping - Select from different sounds to customize your own relaxation tune 

RainyMood - 15 minutes of uninterrupted rain and thunder. It's simple and it's beautiful.

SimplyNoise - I can't stand it, but apparently there are some who enjoy the sound of white noise.

Zendesk - Like SoundSleeping but w/ more sound choices to make up a relax track.

PartnersInRhyme - Ambiance to stream on the bottom left, sounds to buy on the right

First Bayonetta, Now Vanquish - Platinum Games Makes Headlines in 2010

First, Capcom’s ex-Devil May Cry creator, Hideki Kamiya, comes up with Bayonetta, and now ex-Resident Evil mastermind, Shinji Mikami, is heading Platinum Game’s newest IP title, Vanquish. Making its debut on last night’s episode of GameTrailersTV, little is known about this potential shooter except the obvious connection between Halo and the film Independence Day. Bet ol’ Cappy is kicking themselves now for disbanding Clover Studios.

Calls Made Over 3G now A-OK with Apple and AT&T

It appears that the latest updates made to the SDK for the iPhone software had a couple of changes done - changes to the restrictions on VoIP calls done over 3G to be specific. This limitation was responsible for the increasing quarrel between Apple and Google when their Google Voice app was shot down for approval. It was getting to be common place that an app could not be approved if it conflicted with services already being hosted on the iPhone.

I'm guessing the At&t pressure is easing off now that Apple signed an exclusive deal with them to provide 3G data plans for the upcoming iPad. With a 3G connection you can call anyone for free to their desktop, iPhone, or iPad without the need for a calling plan. iCall is relishing in the moment right now, as it's claims to be the first app to ever offer this service, though, they won't be the only ones for too long as you better believe Skype is working around the clock to get in on the action. I wonder if Google will resubmit their app...

All Official iPad Accessories and prices so far

We all knew as soon as Steve whipped it out and smeared his fingers all over it while sitting on the iChair, that we would soon have a monsoon of iPad accessories headed our way and we needed to move for higher ground. Don't be frightened, most of the "official" Apple accessories don't look half bad, and they really look to be able to make it possible to write a blog post, or watch a video on a plane. Here are all of the available accessories for the iPad so far [...]

iPad Already Getting Accessories

Announced only yesterday and the iPad is already getting accessories being made for it! Sure, you could buy the case envelope but it's not like you'd be able to use right away or something. Though, I must admit it'd sure make the device nice and cozy - Check it OUT
