Comcast abandons 250GB data caps, will trial tiered plans starting at 300GB

I know this affects a lot of our users. 

Comcast just announced that it's getting rid of its controversial 250GB data cap on home internet connections in favor of what it calls a "more flexible data usage management approach." That basically means that the company will eventually switch to a tiered plan arrangement with overage fees just like wireless providers, with base plans starting at 300GB per month.

Chrome 19 Syncs Open Tabs Across Computers and Smartphones

While I use safari I know a lot of people that still love there chrome browser and I do still use it for flash sites on my macbook so I don't have to install flash. This is a feature I had been hoping someone would do it looks like google did it first. 

Signing into Google Chrome synced items such as your bookmarks in the past, but this release brings us closer to the continuity many of wish for with our web browsers: tab syncing between our devices. Google Chrome should automatically update in the background, but you can visit About Google Chrome in the wrench menu to manually update to the latest stable version. Chrome 19 is available today, while the tab sync feature itself is rolling out over the coming weeks.

Android fragmentation: one developer encounters 3,997 devices

This is exactly why people choose to develope for iOS. 

One developer can do business with nearly 4,000 distinct Android ROMs, according to data posted by the creators of OpenSignalMaps on Tuesday. While the Android platform provides a lot of flexibility to consumers, OpenSignalMaps' data drives home the point that the small army of device variations can be staggering. Market developers can miss out on a lot by not supporting less popular or older devices.

Discover Some New Music

I am convinced that the time we are living right now is the best time to listen to music. You dont even need a ipod, hell you can stream whatever you want from your desk at work or on your phone. No money required.

If you decide to go with an established service like Pandora you will get alot of what you already like. Not alot of room for discovery. Soundcloud is great to but its a bit decentralized. I haven't used Spotify yet, cause well I thought I was gonna quit facebook, but that might be changing. Here are my favorite sites to discover new music right now.

We Are Hunted - wearehunted is pretty much a top music list which takes into account user voting to make the list. One of the really great features is the "Discovery" option which allows you make custom playlists based on your twitter account, facebook account or go through a wizard that plays a few songs for you to determine your taste. Overall the entire site has a great design and UI. Lots of fun.

Hype Machine - Hype Machine is a music blog aggregator that allows you to "Love" tracks to save to listen for a later time without having to find the song online each time. It also has an option to be able to follow certain blogs which allows you to pretty much have a dedicated music RSS listener. Other great features are the abilty to follow what is trending on Twitter, listing popularity by artist and a No-Remix category to get rid of all those dubstep remixes of Britany Spears songs. I am a big fan of their Songkick integration which tells me which artists on my current song list will be coming locally.
