Google Musicsearch – Albums Artists Songs

Google Music Search Musicsearch

Wow, when will Google ever stop. It’s christimas stress now, but they seem in no hurry to get home and selebrate. Or is that exactly what they’re doing, stressing out the last projects before christmas.

The’ve now added the feature of searching for music. And it works for a charm at suggesting and finding the music I searched for. Even very special edition albums.

Again, keeping the GUI to a minimum, the frontpage of Google Musicsearch holds no more than 7 links to other pages, and then the searchfield.

Keep it simple and stupid. I read an article about this gatekeeping of the google pages, keeping the searchpages free of ads, links etc etc. Keep that up, I love the simplicity, and it seems others does too.

The Google music search doesn’t even have adwords or anything in the results. But that’ll come, for sure.

So far the results are divided into Albums, Artists and Songs, what else do we need at first ?

Nice one, once again. Have a look, Google Music Search.

Vibration jacket for chickens

November 30th, 2005 - 

Would you like a vibration jacket designed for chickens ? What if I told you that it could be used as a pyjamas for your children ? No ? What if I told you that you could give your children hughs through the internet at night, every time you don’t get home in time ?

Chicken straitjacket - Vibration jacket for chickens

I imagine all those fathers (or mothers), sitting at work, wearing special jackets, and hugging their kids through the Internet. I see the open offices, 50 people hugging themselves. Or doing other things ;)

According to Wired/Reuters, Singapore scientists are looking for ways to transmit the sense of touch over the internet. They have now devised a vibration jacket for chickens and are thinking about electronic children’s pyjamas for cyberspace hugs.

“A wireless jacket for chickens or other pets can be controlled with a computer and gives the animal the feeling of being touched by its owner”, said researchers at Nanyang Technological University.

The university is thinking of a pyjama suit for children, which would use the internet to adjust changes in pressure and temperature to simulate the feeling of being hugged. Parents wearing a similar suit could be “hugged” back by their children.

Would you buy one of those?
