The Google Music 4.0.9 is live in the Android Market.
The app now integrates with the new Music-enabled Market and has a brand new, much improved ICS-like UI.



What's Google Music offering?

MP3 Store: Available on the Android Market as a new category starting today. The tracks are stored in the cloud as 320Kbps MP3 files - no DRM. You also get 90 second song previews. Requires Android 2.2+. Universal, EMI, and Sony are all on board (Warner Music Group is not), along with many smaller independent labels. 8 million paid tracks are live at launch, but the number will soon be 13 million.

Free Cloud Storage: The original 20,000 song cap that was part of the Google Music beta will remain in place, and it will remain free. It does not appear this storage is expandable at present, but this wasn't really discussed.

Song Sharing / Recommendation: You can share a song or album with your friends once you've purchased it via Google+ only. They'll receive one free listen of the song or album you just purchased. Your G+ friends will see any songs you've purchased then recommended in the Market as part of your Friend Stream, where the full song or album will play back once for any of your friends.

Exclusive Tracks: Google Music will offer some tracks exclusively (like live tracks from The Rolling Stones, Coldplay, Pearl Jam, Shakira, and Dave Matthews Band). Busta Rhymes will be debuting his new album on Google Music.

Free Song of the Day: Pretty self-explanatory, like Amazon's Free App of the Day, but with songs.

Artist Hub: Allows self-producing artists to submit their tracks to Google Music. You can create an artist page, upload music, and set your own retail prices. $25 to create your own artist page. Google's cut is 30% - flat rate. (see the link: http://music.google.com/artists)

T-Mobile Carrier Billing: This one is self-explanatory. T-Mobile customers will also get some exclusive free tracks.

Ossai famous:

please guys tried rooting my lg p500 tried rooting with the ginger break method after I got the superuser app ,opened it and can't work around it
those this means my phone is rooted so , if yes wher's the difference
I also has Rom manager on my phone

pls help people

Open the Android Market and search for a terminal client and download it
Open the terminal app, read through the instructions (if any) you see, and you'll be faced with a text entry prompt.
If your prompt is the pound sign ( # ) -- you're rooted
If you see a dollar sign ( $ ), try entering the command "su" (without the quote marks).
You might see a dialog asking for permission from the SuperUser app, which you can safely grant.
If the prompt changes to the pound sign, you're rooted.
THE BENEFITS: of course u can install new ROMS, and also install apps that ask for superuser permissions e.g screengrabber et al

US can invade the privacy of foreigners but not Americans
They can assassinate any foreigner but not Americans (except AL AWLAKI - whose murder is still generating constitutional controversy)
They can do anything and get away with it!
You all are welcomed to the NEW WORLD ORDER!

[size=13pt]CyanogenMod 9 - The Countdown To Ice Cream Sandwich Begins[/size]

In case you were wondering or had any doubt at all, the CyanogenMod 9 wheels are now in motion (as promised), and in a few months (likely weeks for nightlies) delicious ICS will drip onto [size=13pt]68+ supported Android devices[/size] , some completely forgotten by carriers and manufacturers. If you ask me, that's the best thing that could happen to them anyway - what do carriers know about keeping their devices up-to-date with Android, right?

There's only one thing we can do now: wait [anxiously]. And don't forget the first rule of CM - do not ask for ETAs.



For some of you guyz interested in chewing the source, u need a real workhorse of a pc with minimum of 16gb Ram
See: https://groups.google.com/group/android-building/browse_thread/thread/3757b189f4e93df0/7355d4256bdf4906?hl=en_US&lnk=gst&q=16gb&pli=1#7355d4256bdf4906

I'm sorry can't just help myself!

[size=13pt]Yay!
Its Here![/size]

[size=13pt]Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich source code now available[/size]



Ahead of the Galaxy Nexus's launch later this week, Google has just posted Android 4.0's source code as part of the Android Open Source Project — a big leap from the last major drop, since Honeycomb was skipped altogether. That's big news for the Android community at large, since it's the first step on a long road to making Ice Cream Sandwich ports for every device under the sun — and it's also important for smaller manufacturers who don't have an insider relationship with Google for early access to the code base. Get to the hacking, folks!

wow
That's all i can say!
Where can i get the book , please?

Beaf:

[size=13pt]Now that the 4 day old skirmishes have stopped can we have a brand new conspiracy theory from our inhouse stone-heads?
Can we have something reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaally exagerated this time, cos the "civil war" story has been a real let down.[/size]

@ Mr. Beaf
I honestly laugh at what u just wrote above!
Put down?
Ok o!
In a place where you have jobless youths settling differences with anti-aircraft guns trained on each other, where u have everybody jostling to take over the function of the government by force of arms at every level?
My friend, what u have right there is a recipe for disaster, even the so called NTC has confessed that they cant take those weapons back (spineless ba.star.ds) may be they want NATO to do that for them too! 
And please help us beg uncle Jona not to invite France to help us solve (aggravate) our Bk problems o!
We can see how they helped Ivory coast in the video above. 

cap28:

its upsetting  bro


this is why africom/NATO's presence in africa needs to be resisted - this is what the french did in ivory coast to young Gbagbo supporters:

this was never given any coverage by the international media

Cap,
Just watched the video above, so nauseated i couldnt finish watching!
Sometimes u wonder why AFP, Reuters et al were not there to cover these kind of murders? 
Imagine, shooting at armless civilians in broad day light 
France! You are a disgrace!
And u will soon get whats coming to u!
Awon oloriburuku!
Eni shere!

THE WALKING DEAD “Chupacabra” Season 2 Episode 5 – So I finally read the first three trade paperbacks of The Walking Dead comic book.

Loved ‘em. Great story, evocative art. A little repetitive as far as dialogue goes, but it gave me a nice idea of the source material.

That said, I kind of like the television show better. Sure, some of the stuff AMC’s The Walking Dead gives us is a little made-for-drama (last episode’s crazy “let’s use live bait to lasso a zombie in a well” caper was a little bit bizarre), but the show makes up for it with exceptionally stellar acting, and a batch of characters that, to me, seem more engaging than anything the comic book gave.

WARNING: SPOILERS from THE WALKING DEAD comic book—if you ever intend on reading these bad boys (and haven’t already), don’t read the following paragraph:

So what are the differences? First off, Shane bites it at the end of the first trade paperback—which is basically like him dying at the end of season one—so everything extra we get from Jon Bernthal’s Shane is like… an extra super-duper bonus. I love the work he’s doing, and can’t freaking wait to see where the show writers take him. Additionally, there’s no Daryl (an exemplary Norman Reedus) and no Daryl’s Crazy Redneck Brother. Daryl has quickly become one of the most surprising and intriguing anti-heroes of the series. The comic book is a tad short on nuanced characters. At least compared to what we’re seeing out of Shane and Daryl. And you can put a lot of it on the acting, but… really, the writing—for these two characters especially—has been stellar.

End of spoilers.

“They’re dropping napalm in the streets…!” Another thing the comic doesn’t give us (much) are flashbacks from the days before the zombie apocalypse, and I love every small moment. We’re getting to see the onion being peeled back, so to speak, and I find myself sitting up and leaning forward whenever the show opens with a flashback.

Daryl’s struggles this episode were visceral. It’s a testament to the show that we still literally can’t tell which way he’s going to go. Especially if (when) his overbearing, larger-than-life brother returns.

“Don’t be too hard on yourself. We’ve all wanted to shoot Daryl.” Andrea’s (Laurie Holden) near-fatal error had my eyes wide and glued to the television screen. I half expected that to be it for Daryl. Even though I knew his story was only just begging to rev up, part of me wondered if they weren’t just doing a Game of Thrones on us and setting us up—just so they could smash us back down. You like Daryl? How d’you like him dead?

“You see eleven condoms, I see eleven minutes of my life I’m not gettin’ back.” Maggie is in the comic too, though she spits out the “f” word almost more times than the comic book has pages; she doesn’t ask Glen if he wants “have sex,” put it that way. I think I like Lauren Cohan’s slightly coy version a little more.

Of course readers of the comic would also have known Eli and his clannish clan have a secret or two.

The barn…! The barn!!

I can’t wait to see how this next episode differs from the comic. Someone has to become zombie chow, right?

[size=13pt]Season 2, Episode 5: Chupacabra[/size]



FLASHBACK. A long line of cars chokes the highway as families attempt to flee the undead menace. Shane, Lori and other familiar faces try to restrain their panic in front of the children. Suddenly, there is a loud BANG. Helicopters fly overhead. Lori and Shane run toward the sound. From the woods, they watch a city being bombed by the government. Horrified and frightened, the pair embraces. CURRENT DAY. Lori awakens inside a tent outside the Hershel farm. Carol suggests cooking dinner for the Hershel clan. "Trying to look for things to keep my mind occupied," the distraught mom explains. The survivors then plan their day of searching for Sophia. Dale and T-Dog affectionately tease Daryl, who claims to have once seen a Chupacabra. Daryl points out that dead are currently walking the Earth. So stranger things have happened.

CUT to Glenn, who approaches Maggie and notes that they still have 11 condoms left. "I don't even know if I like you," she says. Still, Maggie appears intrigued. Later, Rick and Shane search for Sophia and joke about the girls Shane slept with in high school. Shane suddenly becomes serious. "That life is gone and everyone in it," he says. Shane then gets honest with Rick, telling the sheriff that they are wasting their time -- and risking their lives -- wandering through the woods looking for a girl who is likely dead. Rick, of course, feels personally responsible -- and has no plans to call off the search.

CUT to Daryl, who rides through the woods on horseback. He stops on a ridge and looks down on the riverbank. There appears to be a body in the muck. Daryl approaches , slowly. He finds a doll and some clothes. "Sophia!" he yells. No response. Daryl gets back on the horse -- literally -- and it is SPOOKED by a snake. Daryl is THROWN and he tumbles down a steep hill. The expert hunter lies injured and bleeding. In fact, he has accidently impaled himself on one of his arrows. It sticks through his side. Daryl stumbles to his feet and ties off his wound. He limps badly to shore. Doesn't look good.

Glenn, meanwhile, approaches Lori. "You're pregnant," he whispers. Lori swears the young man to secrecy. She hasn't told a soul. Rick soon returns and pulls aside his wife. "Shane says my good intentions are making us weaker -- that I can't make the hard decisions for the good of the group," Rick explains to Lori. She tells Rick to stay the course. He isn't being soft at all, in her humble opinion. Rick is then summoned to speak with Hershel. "One of my horses is missing," Hershel says. "Did one of your people take it?" Rick apologizes. He thought Daryl had informed the old man. Also: Hershel is upset that young Jimmy joined the search team. Again, Rick thought Hershel was aware when he wasn't. Hershel has a simple solution to the communication problems: "I'll control my people, you control yours." Rick agrees without saying a word.

CUT to Daryl, who lies unconscious on the riverbed. Suddenly, Merle appears and berates his little brother. "You're going to die out here, little brother -- and for what?" Merle asks. Big brother wants to know why Daryl is risking his life for a little girl and not out searching for his sibling. "One of these days, they're going to scrape you off their heels like you was dog %#@&," Merle says. "They ain't your kin , Ain't nobody going to care about you except me." And then Merle -- a hallucination -- is gone. Unfortunately, Merle has been replaced by a drooling zombie. Daryl suddenly springs to life, STABBING the zombie in the eye with a piece of wood. Another walker approaches. Daryl RIPS the arrow from his side, loads his crossbow and SHOOTS it in the head.

Daryl then decides to take his phantom brother's advice and get serious about surviving. He eats a squirrel -- raw -- before making a necklace of zombie ears. Soon, Merle reappears. "I'm as real as your Chupacabra!" he yells. Somehow, Daryl makes it to the top of the ridge. Merle is gone. "Yeah, you better run!" Daryl screams at nothing. Later, Hershel is upset to find Rick's survivors cooking dinner in the kitchen. "We need to be setting clear boundaries with these people," Hershel tells Maggie. "Don't get close to them. They aren't going to be around forever." Unhappy, Maggie leaves the room.

Outside, Glenn approaches Dale for advice about Maggie. In order to do so, Glenn admits that he had sex with Maggie. Dale is concerned, worried that Hershel would be mighty upset (and he would, too). "He is our host," Dale says. "Jesus, Glenn, what were you thinking?" Says Glenn: "I was thinking that I might be dead tomorrow." Good point. Suddenly, Andrea spots a walker emerging from the tree line a few hundred yards away. She is anxious for some target practice and takes aim. Of course, the walker is actually a bloodied and shambling Daryl. She FIRES -- and Daryl goes down.

Andrea's pride turns to HORROR when she discovers that she has shot Daryl. The survivors drag Daryl inside. He has been grazed on the head. Later, Hershel tends to Daryl, who explains that he found Sophia's doll in the creek bed. Hershel, meanwhile, has just about had enough. His horse is missing and the antibiotics are going fast. "It's a wonder you people have survived this long," he pointedly tells Rick. Shane agrees with Hershel. "We can't keep going out there -- not after this," the deputy says. Rick storms out. Dale, in the meantime, tells a distraught Andrea that she shouldn't be so hard on herself. "We've all wanted to shoot Daryl," he quips. Andrea manages to smile weakly.

Later, Hershel's people and Rick's people eat dinner together inside the farmhouse. No one says much. Maggie and Glenn pass notes like school kids. It looks like they might get back together, after all. Carol then brings Daryl dinner. "You did more for my little girl today than her daddy did his whole life," Carol says. "You're every bit as good as them. Every bit." Daryl doesn't respond. After dinner, Maggie reads the note from Glenn: "Ever done it in a hayloft?" Maggie appears horrified. Why? CUT to Glenn, approaching the property's massive barn. It is locked, so he climbs to the second level and enters. Inside, more than a dozen zombies are being kept. Maggie enters. "You weren't supposed to see this," she says.

I'll also be able to get the Galaxy Nexus
it'd be out by then

[size=13pt]YAY! Ice Cream Sandwich Source Coming November 17th! [/size]

Rohan Shravan, CEO of Notion Ink, updated a blog post yesterday with a rather nonchalant statement revealing that the source code behind Ice Cream Sandwich may be released November 17th. Yes, you read correctly – this Thursday may be the day.



Normally a remark like this wouldn't be taken at face value, but Shravan already has a track record with this sort of thing, having accurately predicted the release of Android Gingerbread last year. Shravan's claim seems even more plausible when considering the fact that the European Galaxy Nexus has been confirmed for launch on the 17th. You may also remember that Dan Morrill made it clear last month that Ice Cream Sandwich's source would not be released before the Galaxy Nexus.

Of course, without confirmation from Google, we can only wait in anticipation, but luckily we won't have to wait long before seeing if this statement in fact materializes.

[size=13pt][center]Rival Libyan militias clash near military base[/center][/size]

WARSHEFANA, Libya (AP) — Rival militias clashed on the outskirts of the Libyan capital for a fourth day Sunday in the deadliest and most sustained violence since the capture and killing of Moammar Gadhafi last month.

The fighting, which has killed at least 13 people since late last week, raised new concerns about the ability of Libya's transitional government to disarm thousands of fighters and restore order after an eight-month civil war.

Libya's interim leader, Mustafa Abdul-Jalil, said his National Transitional Council brought together elders from the feuding areas — the coastal city of Zawiya and the nearby tribal lands of Warshefana — over the weekend and that the dispute has been resolved. "I want to assure the Libyan people that everything is under control," he said Sunday.

However, as he spoke, fighting continued.

Heavy gunfire and explosions of rocket-propelled grenades were heard over hours Sunday in the area between the Warshefana lands, about 18 miles (30 kilometers) west of Tripoli, and Zawiya, another 10 miles (15 kilometers) to the west. White smoke rose into the air.

At one point, the two sides were battling for control of a major military camp of the ousted regime, said a fighter from Tripoli. The camp, once a base of elite forces commanded by one of Gadhafi's sons, Khamis, is located on a highway midway between Tripoli and Zawiya.

In all, at least 13 people were killed in the fighting, including four from Zawiya and nine from Warshefana, according to gunmen and a hospital doctor in Warshefana. More than 100 people from Warshefana were wounded since Saturday, said Dr. Mohammed Sawan, adding that casualties stemmed from gunshots as well as shrapnel from rockets and mortar shells.

The reason for the initial clash remains unclear, though accusations have been flying, including that some of the Warshefana had links to the old regime. At one point last week, fighters from Zawiya entered Warshefana and seized weapons. In retaliation, Warshefana fighters set up random checkpoints and fired at the main highway.

On Sunday evening, dozens of Warshefana fighters assembled and said they would march on Zawiya. "We'll be in Zawiya tonight," they chanted before moving toward the city, armed with assault rifles and rocket-propelled grenades.

Zawiya fighters, meanwhile, manned roadblocks on the outskirts of their city at intervals of about 200 yards (meters). Groups of jumpy armed men, some brandishing RPGs, crowded around the checkpoints. Fighters searched trunks of cars and checked IDs.

Abdul-Jalil said the NTC has established a committee to address the grievances of both sides. He said the fighting was sparked by young men behaving irresponsibly, but he did not elaborate.

Since the Oct. 20 death of Gadhafi, there have been a number of violent clashes between fighters, including a deadly shootout at a Tripoli hospital. Residents of the capital have also become increasingly annoyed with fighters from other areas of Libya who have taken over prime locations in the city, including a gated seaside resort village.

Despite the growing tensions, Abdul-Jalil and other NTC leaders have said they cannot disarm the fighters quickly.

[size=13pt]Noting high unemployment among the armed men, Abdul-Jalil said the new government must offer alternatives first, including jobs, study and training.[/size]

BlackBaron:

Besides, the touchpad is still good and runs android rom too. Only I could never get one at the fire sale prices.

Things are really looking up, not only with tegra 3 but even ARM (MALI-T658 mobile GPU), very soon ur smartphone and ur tablet will be as powerful as ur hardcore laptop

Yes i bought the touchpad just to test the webos and also for the hardware specs.
The fire sale was actually cornered by most of HP staffs, imagine some of them bought like 10, 20s, anyway i bought mine from one of them for twice the gbanjo price.
Its now dualbooting webos and android CM7 ALPHA 2 release

happy to announce that i have quit watching walking dead it has been dragging since this new season

wtf!
Are you really a zombie fan?

iice:

Shane is annoying.  Never liked him. 
Don't like Lori either.  Can't remember what film in saw her in before. . .didn't like her then, don't like her now.  What she's going through, serves her right. . .hopefully she suffers plenty anxiety before she tells Rick .  I have a feeling Rick would be able to handle her side but he and Shane will never be the same again.
Daryl is the redneck right? He has always been my favorite.  Right from the beginning you can tell he has mettle.  Kinda reminds me of Pope in Falling Skies.
Favorite part is when the zombie tore into half

You are talking about Sarah Wayne Callies, she was Sarah Tancredi in Prison Break!
Scratching my head and wondering why you don't like her?
She's quite good and you cant blame her for what happened between him and Shane, she thought Rick was dead naa!
If naa you nko?
Love Daryl too but keeps wondering what will happen when his brother turns up without a hand?
lol

try the gingerbread rom, its very sweet
