Google has recently shown interest in launching an online version of pay television and has already approached several media companies about licensing their content for the future service.
The rumours come at a time when other big-name corporations such as Sony and Apple are also in talks to move into the same area and will therefore have stiff competition to win over the media companies they?ve approached. In hand the launch will also initiate competition with the existing online video players such as Netflix, Hulu and Amazon as Google plans to integrate both on-demand and conventional channels simultaneously.
Google will now face the ultimate challenge of convincing their potential partners that they can offer a better service in terms of price and number of channels which would be the main reasons for consumers to come on board.

In October 2013 Christie?s , in association with Waddington Custot Galleries, will stage When Britain Went Pop!, an exhibition exploring the early revolutionary years of the British Pop Art movement, which will launch Christie's new gallery space in Mayfair. This is the first comprehensive exhibition of British Pop Art to be held in London. When Britain Went Pop! aims to show how Pop Art began in Britain and how British artists like Richard Hamilton, Peter Blake, David Hockney, Allen Jones and Patrick Caulfield irrevocably shifted the boundaries between popular culture and fine art, leaving a legacy both in Britain and abroad. British Pop Art was last explored in depth in the UK in 1991 as part of the Royal Academy?s survey exhibition of International Pop Art. This exhibition seeks to bring a fresh engagement with an influential movement long celebrated by collectors and museums alike, but many of whose artists have been o ...

The recently released Swell Radio is unofficially billed as "Pandora for radio," and after using it for several hours, I understand why. The free iPhone?app lets users stream news, comedy, sports, and business content to their Apple iPhones?content that adapts to your listening habits to create a customized experience. Fans of news, podcasts, and talk radio should consider giving Swell Radio a download.
Tuning In
Unlike Stitcher Radio (an app that provides a similar service), Swell Radio doesn't require you to create an account?you can jump right in. Swell Radio sports a simple but elegant interface that's remarkably clutter-free. Swell Radio utilizes "audio cards," rectangular panels that contain important information such as the show/station/podcast's name, runtime, and the broadcast date. There are also two icons that let you rewind a track in 10-second intervals or fast-forward in 30-second intervals. Tapping the small information icon flips the audio card where you can find a show synopsis and a link to the show's homepage.
NPR, Comedy Central Stand Up, and BBC Documentaries are just a handful of the many stations available. The audio streamed to my Sony MDR headphones was crisp and clear; in fact, Swell Radio sounded better than many terrestrial radio stations, as there were no pops or hisses. If you dig into the settings, you can find an option to for "high-quality streaming" that's designed to improve audio (when a show offers it).
Listening In
Brining a finger to the Swell logo opens a genre listing that includes technology, business, arts, TV& film, culture, music, comedy, and other categories. Selecting music took me from the informative Freakonomics show to a program that featured several indie artists. Switching categories causes Swell Radio to play a handful of the new genre tracks, before reverting to the normal mixed-content stream. Unlike Stitcher Radio you cannot ban or favorite shows.
Note: Swell Radio doesn't let you continuously listen to one topic or genre, as some other music streaming apps do. For example, if I fired up Slacker Radio's '80s station, I'd be fed nothing but tunes from the decade of decadence. Swell Radio, on the other hand, streams a variety of topics that are constantly tweaked based on several criteria. Swell Radio also doesn't offer live radio, which is SiriusXM Radio's bread and butter. Instead, it has timely recorded programming; I listed to Grantland's Jalen Rose Report podcast just hours just a few hours after it went live.
Like Slacker Radio and many other audio streaming services, Swell Radio constantly tweaks the listening experience based on your actions?it's not a traditional podcast. The app knows what you like based on how long you listened to a particular genre, when you skipped a program, the "wisdom of the Swell community," data from your Twitter stream (if you follow lots of sports teams, Swell Radio serves up more sports content), time of day, and the time since last fired up the app. You can also share content via Facebook, Twitter, and email. Swiping up on an audio card bookmarks a track, so that you can return to it at a later time.
Radio Days
There is a sea of iPhone apps designed to stream music, but very few have a laser-beam focus on news and talk. Swell Radio is impressive, but not strictly because of the novel idea; it's an app that iPhone users should download if they dig non-music radio and podcasts. Should developer Concept.io allow users to continuously stream their genres of choice (a feature that Stitcher Radio offers), this already impressive app will be that much better.

EMMITTSBURG, Md. (WUSA) -- The Chapel of the Immaculate Conception at Mount Saint Mary's University caught on fire.
School officials say there were flames in the bell tower Friday around 9 p.m. A student told authorities he say lightning hit the tower.
The fire was under control within hours. According to authorities, there were no injuries.
In a press release, the school posted: "We give our thanks to God that the fire was contained but mostly we thank God no one was injured," said President Thomas H. Powell.
