You might have noticed something different on Google’s homepage today: the usual logo has been replaced with a Google logo-looing guitar. One that you can actually play – provided that you can make heads or tails of the ten strings and the chords they’re all bunched together as. Anyway, the playable-guitar-logo-thing commemorates the late Les Paul’s 96th birthday.
Jon Bon Jovi just came out with an interesting interview with the Sunday Times Magazine, where he accused Steve Jobs of “killing” the music industry with iTunes. Bon Jovi said that “Kids today have missed the whole experience of putting the headphones on, turning it up to 10, holding the jacket, closing their eyes and getting lost in an album; and the beauty of taking your allowance money and making a decision based on the jacket, not knowing what the record sounded like, and looking at a couple of still pictures and imagining it.”
Yahoo just put out word that they won’t be accepting video uploads to Yahoo Video from users anymore. Not that a lot of people would mind since it looks like most people are more likely to use good old YouTube and Vimeo anyway. Yahoo didn’t give any reasons for the move, but if you’ve got videos on their servers, you’re going to have to pull them out before March 15. If, for some reason you do have a user-generated video you want to download from Yahoo Video, you can do so using a software utility on your profile page, along with a suggestion to upload them to Flickr. Yahoo’s message after the break.
No one can really be sure how legit this email exchange is, but it’s pretty logical to assume that the white iPhone 4 is going to ship in time for the holidays. Apple did mention that it’s going to be released later this year after all. Anyway, here’s how it goes: self-proclaimed “Apple fanboy” Nathan sends an email to Steve Jobs, asking if we can expect the white model to come out by Christmas. And the answer? “Christmas is later this year.” Now, it could just all be made up, but it sure sounds like Jobs.
Remember those old Choose Your Own adventure books that had you flipping to different pages and choosing different paths to move the story along? Well, this video is something like that. Except, it’s actually an ad for Tipp-Ex. It’s not your usual YouTube vid, though; it starts with a hunter that gets attacked by a bear, but at the end you get to make a choice. But this is as far as we’ll walk you through, because you just have to see it–and try it out–for yourself.
Video after the break. And then a couple more after you make the choice. And probably a few more after that.
