Microsoft: “Xbox Music”

[EN]: Just recently, Microsoft put this new trailer on YouTube about its new Xbox Music app on its console, smartphone, tablet, and PC. It has its own subscription, separate from Xbox Live. If you prefer to pay monthly, it’ll be $9.99 a month, but if you do it the yearly way, you can save two months for free and pay $99.99. It’s basically the service originally known as Zune, but Microsoft is bringing back the service with this new name, yet with improvements. If you don’t know if Xbox Music is right for you, watch the trailer.

Would you subscribe to the new Xbox Music app?

Sony: PSN/Qriocity – Service Update | Actualización de los servicios – 2011.04.23

It seems as if the PSN outage has been very serious, but Sony has decided to take additional measures for a better network system.

We sincerely regret that PlayStation Network and Qriocity services have been suspended, and we are working around the clock to bring them both back online. Our efforts to resolve this matter involve re-building our system to further strengthen our network infrastructure. Though this task is time-consuming, we decided it was worth the time necessary to provide the system with additional security.

We thank you for your patience to date and ask for a little more while we move towards completion of this project. We will continue to give you updates as they become available.

Is Google Translate a beatbox?!

English | Español

For most of my online search in which interpretations are needed, I use Google Translate and other related sites. When I pay a visit to the Japanese Capcom and Square Enix sites or to Chinese-language sites, I count on Google, Bing and other services to achieve my goal.

Earlier today, I saw there’s another use for Google Translate. This one is devoted to certain music fans. For the ones who love beatbox, this is a brand-new tool to create sounds.

Here are some for you to try:
