Metallica and Lang Lang Performance of “One” is available on iTunes

The first question comes to mind is: “Who is this Lang Lang?”

Metallica performed “One” with pianist Lang Lang at the 56th Annual Grammy Awards on January 26, 2014. The rehearsal recording is now available on iTunes.

$0.30 from each sale of the song on iTunes will be donated to MusiCares.

One thing I love about this performance is that I can clearly hear the bass, unlike the original studio recording.

 

Four months on, Google+ Hangouts for iOS is still better than its Android counterpart.

Google+ Hangouts for iOS gained Google Voice integration back on October 18, 2013 while its Android counterpart is still without this feature.

This sure infuriated some hardcore Android users; their comments unintentionally become comedy gold.

According to Nikhyl Singhal, a Google Employee:

  •  Finally, we want to make Google Voice as secure as possible. There are a few third-party applications that provide calling and SMS services by making unauthorized use of Google Voice. These apps violate our Terms of Service and pose a threat to your security, so we’re notifying these app developers that they must stop making unauthorized use of Google Voice to run their services and transition users by May 15, 2014.

Reading between the lines, there seems to be an inherent security issue in Android Platform and/or Google Voice. If not, Google would have already deployed Google Voice integration within Hangouts for Android.

I want Google Voice integration within Hangouts on my Nexus 4; and so does my colleague with his Nexus 5. I guess we all still have to wait.
