Google launches Music Timeline, charts the history of popular music

Google has launched Music Timeline that captures the rise and fall of genres and artists over decades. The Music Time aggregates data from the Google Music Play for a visualisation chart to see which music has stood the test of time, according to the blog post.

The chart shows key artists from each genre and the stories behind them. Users can navigate to Google Play and listen to the music. You can even search for a particular artist and see if they were just a one hit wonder or went multi-platinum. For example, clicking on the Metal stripe, shows music from Classic Metal to Hair Metal to Alt Metal within the growth of the overall genre, and some of the most popular artists that composed each subgenre.

The chart shows that Jazz was the biggest in 1950's, rock music saw a rapid rise in the 60's followed by hip-hop in 1980's. Google has not included classical music on the chart as its typically cataloged by composition date, and not when it's recorded. Google says that it plans to update music timeline every week.

Goggle has done similar visual examinations of visitors on YouTube and another one for identifying social sharing on Google+. Google India recently launched the list of most watched videos on YouTube in 2013. The list called 'YouTube Rewind: What India watched in 2013', includes popular movie trailers, TV shows, music videos, games and cricket. The list was based on total number of views, as well as likes, comments and shares on the video. Google also created a cool video to highlight these trending videos.

Fitness Tracking...

In case you haven’t noticed the big trend of late is all about wearable devices. From Google Glass, Samsung’s Galaxy Gear, to a wide array of fitness bands or smart bands to count calories and more that sync to your smartphone.

While fitness tracking is nothing new to mobile, some newly found codes and API changes in Google’s Android is a big hint that Android is about to head in the direction of being healthy, eating right, and staying in shape. Apparently Google is working on adding a fitness API right into Android that developers and other products can tap into like never before, making wearable devices work as seamless as ever on Android.

Google to make smart contact lenses

Google is developing smart contact lenses that measure the glucose levels in diabetics' tears.

If successful, Google's newest venture could help to eliminate one of the most painful and intrusive daily routines of diabetics.

People with diabetes have difficulty controlling the level of sugar in their blood stream, so they need to monitor their glucose levels -- typically by stabbing themselves with small pin pricks, swabbing their blood onto test strips and feeding them into an electronic reader.

Google's smart contacts could potentially make blood sugar monitoring far less invasive.

Apne karam ki kar adaayein
Yaara, Yaaraa... yaara!

Mujhko iraade de
Kasamein de, waade de
Meri duaaon ke ishaaron ko sahaare de
Dil ko thikaane de
Naye bahaane de
Khaabon ki baarishon ko
Mausam ke paimane de
Apne karam ki kar adaayein
Kar de idhar bhi tu nigaahein

Sun raha hai naa tu
Ro raha hun main
Sun raha hai naa tu
Kyun ro raha hun main

Manzilein ruswa hain
Khoya hai raasta
Aaye le jaaye
Itni si iltejaa
Ye meri zamanat hai
Tu meri amaanat hai haan...

Apne karam ki kar adayein
Kar de idhar bhi tu nigaahein
Sun raha hai naa tu
Ro raha hoon main
Sun raha hai naa tu
Kyun ro raha hun main

Waqt bhi thehara hai
Kaise kyun ye huaa
Kaash tu aise aaye
Jaise koi duaa
Tu rooh ki raahat hai
Tu meri ibaadat hai

Apne karam ki kar adaayein
Kar de idhar bhi tu nigaahein

Sun raha hai naa tu
Ro raha hoon main
Sun raha hai naa tu
Kyun ro raha hun main

Sony still in talks with Microsoft for Windows Phone 8-based devices: Report..

Sony is reportedly considering launching a Windows Phone device, in an attempt to move away from being a single operating system handset maker.

The head of Sony Mobile Europe, Pierre Perron has revealed to TechRadar that the company is looking into the possibility of offering a new mobile OS to its consumers. Perron was quoted saying, "We are continuing our discussions with other partners, including Microsoft, as part of our partnership with this company on the broader Sony spectrum."

Further, Perron also noted that working with Microsoft for the PC ecosystem has been a remarkable proposition, and that Sony would like to continue to engage with the Redmond giant.

Notably, Perron acknowledged to TechRadar that Sony has been exploring chances of working with Microsoft in mobile space and was quoted saying, "We are exploring this as part of our discussion in mobile space too. One thing is using the platform [Windows Phone] itself, and another is 'what can we deliver on top of it'?"

Unfortunately both Microsoft and Sony have been tight-lipped until now about the possibility of a Sony Windows Phone 8-based smartphone in development.

In addition, GSMArena, citing a Chinese publication, suggested that the alleged Sony Windows Phone 8-based smartphones will be launched as part of its Vaio line-up, very much in-line with our earlier reports. Sony has traditionally launched Windows-based notebooks, desktops and media centres under its Vaio branding.

An earlier report suggested that Sony tied-up with a Taiwanese company named ODM Compal Communications for one or two Windows Phone 8-based smartphone units. The report also claimed that the order volumes for the initial Windows Phone 8-based smartphones would be around ten thousand units each. In addition, the report seemingly revealed Sony's intentions to sell Windows Phone devices in the US via telecom operators, which would expand the Windows Phone ecosystem for the market.

The report further revealed that the Japanese giant and the Taiwanese company were also in talks for two or three more Windows Phone smartphone units. As of now, there has been no official word on the availability and pricing details of alleged Sony's Windows Phone-8 based smartphones.

Five essential features of cloud computing

Cloud Computing has 5 Important Characteristics,they are Rapid Elasticity,Measured service,On demand self service,Everywhere network access and Resource pooling.you can have the full knowledge on Cloud computing features list and benefits explained clearly.
