LIFE Photo archive available online

Thanks to Google (and of course, LIFE and their photographers), lots of old photos are now becomming available online. Very cool!

Google logo @ Xkcd's Randall Munroe

Chris DiBona has released a nice scanned version of the xkcd styled Google logo. I think Google should use that as their logo :)

Randall Munroe (Xkcd) @ Google

Randall Munroe has done a talk at Google which can now be seen on youtube:

Google's Android mobile platform

It looks like Google has done a very smart move. Though, at lwn.net there is a discussion about the reasons for Google's move. It will certainly be interesting to see how this evolves and how many mobile phones we'll see that uses it. I've looked forward to OpenMoko, but I must say I worry a bit about the future of OpenMoko and Trolltechs Qtopia too. I wouldn't be surprised if the community and eco-system around Android soon becomes many times bigger than OpenMoko and Qtopia together.

The Daily Show: Viacom sues YouTube

The Daily Show with Jon Stewart have this hilarious report on the case.
