It's not just the PSP which will benefit from an update bringing along the Music Unlimited streaming service—the NGP and Xperia Play will also see the Qriocity-powered service at a later date. The cloud-based streaming service is already available on the PS3 and Bravia TVs, and has six million songs to date. [Eurogamer via TrustedReviews] More »

Android Market in-app billing now testing, goes live next week
The Android Market is still missing a few key pieces of functionality. Among them is in-app payments -- which Google has now announced will begin rolling out next week. The company is encouraging developers to upload apps that include in-app purchases, and instructions have been provided to walk submitters through the set-up and testing process. Google has made sure test apps can't actually be published until the launch next week, though.
While it's nice that Android users will finally be able to make in-app purchases, we're not going to lie -- right now we're more interested in the Amazon Appstore's daily freebie...Android Market in-app billing now testing, goes live next week originally appeared on Download Squad on Fri, 25 Mar 2011 09:00:00 EST.

Why Does the Sun Look So Weird and Beautiful In this Photo? [Astronomy]
This is a solar eclipse. One like you have probably never seen before, taken by NASA's Solar Dynamic Observatory in space. It looks really weird, as if the Sun is fizzling away, fading into the darkness of space. Why is the edge of the shadow fuzzy? More »

He's a Cut Off the Ol' Magnetic Knife Block [Kitchen]
There's nothing fancier than a magnetic strip to cling big kitchen knives to—except maybe a magnetic knife block, if your benchspace allows it. In a range of colors (though none are as smart as the white), it costs $110. [Etsy via Werd] More »
Google launches beautiful online magazine Think Quarterly
Who would've thought it: First Netflix dives into the original content foray, and now the ultimate aggregator is also getting in on the action. In a rather weird twist of fate, Google has published the first edition of its new online magazine: Think Quarterly.
Think Quarterly is, in the words of Matt Brittin, Google's UK & Ireland Operations Managing Director, "a breathing space in a busy world. It's a place to take time out and consider what's happening and why it matters." This edition is ostensibly focused on the flow, control and tabulation of data, but it touches on near field communication (NFC) and the magic of viral videos.
The site itself is beautiful. It looks and feels a lot like Google's '20 things...' HTML5 guide, but you have the option of reading individual articles, or flipping through a page-turning Flash magazine applet. The stories themselves are interesting and well-written, too.
In short, Think Quarterly looks and feels like it was intentionally designed and produced to be distinctly un-Google. As Brittin says, it's meant to represent a breathing space in a busy world -- and Google has never exactly been the cautious, analytical type. Perhaps Think Quarterly represents a shift towards a more mature and institutionalized Google -- or perhaps it's just a flight of fancy. We'll have to wait and see.Google launches beautiful online magazine Think Quarterly originally appeared on Download Squad on Thu, 24 Mar 2011 06:00:00 EST.
