Microsoft Xbox

 Music streaming services comes to Web for free

Associated Press 

Microsoft is making its Xbox Music streaming service available for free on the Web - even to those who don't use Windows 8.

The expansion beyond Windows 8 devices and Xbox game consoles starting Monday is intended to bring new customers into the software giant's ecosystem of devices and services and could help it compete with other digital music offerings like Pandora, Spotify and iTunes. It's also an acknowledgement that the music service hasn't done much to drive sales of the Windows 8 operating system.

Analysts say the move represents another step toward Microsoft's goal of becoming a company that sells devices and services, rather than primarily software.

Xbox Music has 30 million tracks for streaming free with ads. The service also sells downloadable tracks and features a radio service.

Killer Game

back to iOS devices

Are smartphones and tablets all the same? Or are there killer apps that still make people choose one brand over another?

Clash of Clans. Available on the Apple App Store -- and only the Apple App Store.

I'm not a big believer in killer apps, but I might have to revise that thinking. A game only for iOS has pulled me and one of my boys back to our iOS devices this summer. It's a sign how even as Apple faces challenges from a growing Android ecosystem, it still has plenty of pull.

ABC of TECH  gotech buzz

From sending solar-powered balloons into the stratosphere to offering free Wi-Fi in parks, Google is quietly spending hundreds of millions dollar on nascent internet services that may one day challenge the telecom and cable companies. Project Loon is a research and development project being developed by Google with the mission of providing Internet access to rural and remote areas. The project uses high-altitude balloons placed in the stratosphere at an altitude of about 20 km (12 mi) to create an aerial wireless network with up to 3G-like speeds. Because of the project's seemingly outlandish mission goals, Google dubbed it "Project Loon".
