What Matters Now? The question was asked to 70 different people by Seth Godin, and published in a book called What Matter Now, available for free here and pretty much everywhere else on the web right now.

How an iTunes-Lala integration will likely change...
It’s no secret for anyone that iTunes bought Lala, last weekend - and did so at a ridiculous price, too.
I think that everyone realized what this could mean for the future of iTunes - the ability for user to pay for just the rights of songs they want - and not the data in itself.
The Wall Street Journal points out today another, more interesting matter, where an Lala-powered iTunes may...
Walk the streets of Pompeii, virtually!
This is great: Google Map has added Pompeii into its list of street-viewable cities - or shall I say, landscapes.
I never went to Italy, and plan to do soon, and Pompeii is way up there on my list of visits to do. One thing I realize is how well preserved these ruins really are. I saw thousands of pictures, but it just seems like none have captured the beauty of what can be seen here, while...

Final Fantasy XIII Famitsu score sparks...
Famitsu’s cross-review of the game - where 4 critics give a note on 10 - gave the anticipated title a 39/40 note, with three reviewers giving perfect scores, and one reviewer giving a meager 9/10:
“Given the quality all around, it’s a bit of a shame that the story is a straight path until the midgame. I’m also concerned about the lack of [gameplay] gimmicks before the...
Youtube launches VEVO, a music video platform
Youtube, in partnership with Universal, has launched VEVO, a music video website that aims at covering 85% of the music video offer online, with 15% covered by youtube.
The service is not yet offered in HD, but that will come up next year. Actually, at this moment, it does not offer any video, as the only available page is the 500 one, since the site is under what I’m assuming an onslaught...

As everyone much be aware by now, Google Chrome for Mac Beta was released today, as well as the Linux version. So did Chrome extensions, but much to everyone’s chagrin, extensions have not been built in the Mac version of Chrome yet (why?)
