This post is for my fellow gamers.  This week Microsoft finally unveiled it's new Xbox console and it's called the Xbox One. Most were thinking that it would be called Xbox 720, or something along those lines, but the name signifies Microsoft's push to make this the one device you will need for entertainment.

Today Google kicked off it's sixth annual developer conference and they came out swinging.  As has been speculated for some time Google announced it's music streaming service, All Access for Google Play.  This new service will place Google in competition with Spotify and Pandora.  The service is $9.99/month but if you sign up by June 30th, then you can get it for $7.99/month and that includes a 30-day free trial. 

Earlier today Blackberry announced that the Blackberry Messenger is going cross-platform and will be available for iOS and Android devices.  The application is scheduled for release this summer, no exact date as of yet, I'll keep you posted!  So will you be downloading BBM to your Android or iOS device?

Today Amazon launched new currency just for Kindle Fire users, Amazon Coins.  In celebration of the launch, they have given existing and new customers 500 free coins, which is equal to $5 dollars of actual currency.  These coins can only be redeemed in the Amazon App store for in-app purchases.  Also it is only good for one account, so you won't get multiple free coin disbursements if you have more than one Kindle Fire registered to your account.  The more you buy the larger your discount, so it's kind of like when you buy tokens are Chuck E. Cheese.  The coins are good for one year from the date you receive them.  So what are you going to use your Amazon coins on??

So as a tech aficionado I do preach making sure that your computer is updated, including individual programs and also making sure you have some type of antivirus/security program to protect your computer.  Recently in the midst of my computer cleanup and updating I finally ran the update to iTunes 11.0.2, and aside from the interface change that I wasn't fond of, it seemed fine.  But a few days later I went to import some new music and noticed that my entire iTunes library was gone!!!!!!!!!!!! The horror!!!!!
