This is pretty amazing. Especially given the fearloving climate of the music industry - to actually play a requested song to anyone. Very cool.

Seattle based iLike just expanded their recent streaming music deal with Rhapsody to allow any website or web application to add streaming music to their sites. Integration is dead simple (I’ve done it below). A long list of partners launches with them, including Google, Evite, TypePad, SGN, Flixster, Watercooler, Connected Weddings, Slide and Mesmo TV. The big hook here is that it’s dead simple for developers to add simple playlists to their apps. The music ...

The Indoor Tanning Association comes to Sarah Palin's defense (via Yglesias): While partisan bloggers and the sun scare industry will use this as an opportunity to undermine Gov. Palin and demonize the indoor tanning industry, the fact is that Governor Palin's decision to get UV light from a tanning bed positively impacts her health. "Moderate amounts of indoor tanning allow Governor Palin to experience the many health benefits that come with exposure to UV light," ...

Republican strategists in Michigan have confirmed that they plan to challenge the right to vote for people on a list of recent foreclosures, though these people may still be living in their homes, renegotiating or fighting the order. The largest foreclosure firm in the area donates hundreds of thousands of dollars to the GOP, and the Republican-controlled Senate killed the bills that would have given foreclosure relief. Michigan is a swing state. Joe Rozell, director ...

A number of you have written in (mainly research scientists of one sort or another) to say that in the case of Sarah Palin's $3.2 million earmark request to study seal DNA we should not jump to the conclusion that such spending is wasteful just because it may sound funny. So let me be clear. I don't assume that at all. In fact, I'm a big supporter of federal spending on pure research -- much ...

Today we Americans and our friends around the world should pause and remember those lost in the attacks on 9/11/01. We each do this in our own way, and some people commemorate the day a little differently. Some people, for example, make a cake:I've received several different pictures of this cake - each taken from a different angle - so it's obviously getting a lot of attention from passers-by. Some believe this is just the ...

Ignoring the sensationalist headline, this is interesting: By analysing the movements of human shadows in aerial and satellite footage, JPL engineer Adrian Stoica says it should be possible to identify people from the way they walk -- a technique called gait analysis, whose power lies in the fact that a person's walking style is very hard to disguise. Video taken from above shows only people's heads and shoulders, which makes measuring the characteristic length and ...

If you are sucker for all things 8-bit and all things NES—like I am—you will love these three-dimensional renderings of classic Nintendo Entertainment System games by Justin Buonvino. So much that you will put them on your desktop background, just like a did one minute ago. Without a doubt, my favorites are the shot from above of Mario World 1 and the real-3D-made-to-look-fake-3D Zeldas, but the Excitebike has an special charm too. Thankfully, that's why ...

Hot glue guns & LEDs - two great tastes tools that go great together -What would I do without LEDs and hot glue? They are integral components to nine tenths of my projects. Well, while I was working on my first instructable I noticed that the LEDs I'd hot glued onto the wires kind of made the translucent glue glow a bit. I thought to myself, "What would happen if I put the glue on ...
