Google changes to aid music searchs
link ; http://www.edition.cnn.com/2009/TECH/10/28/google.music/index.html


How do you do when you want to search a music you don't remember the name of a song or artist?
Maybe you have a trouble.

In the near future you will be able to find the music by internet.
So you will not need to know much about song.
If only you enter some fragments of the words,
you can get the music form direct link of commercial sites that offer songs for sale.

Now this service is only America, I want Google to improve this system as we can use all over the world.
It is best that we can search not only a music, but also a picture.

The article I chose
"The 27-Inch iMac Is the New Apple TV"
link ; http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2009/10/the-27-imac-is-the-new-apple-tv/

summary and reaction;
New Apple iMac with 27-inch display will be out;$1700.
Apple has alreday 30-inch chinema display;$1800.
However, the new iMac is a good enough horizontal resolution
because both have the same horizontal resolution of 2560 pixels.
And When you think the new iMac become too slow,
you can use as a great TV.
So youcan save $100 by buying the new iMac.

I think the new iMac is better than 30-inch's.
But I don't need this because I have already gotten a new PC just 6 moth ago.
