*** So the current app in the chrome store no longer works, so If you have the old pandora extension delete it and follow this LINK to get the new secret Anesidora extension.  The app is exactly the same just named different, I imagine pandora got mad because it was bypassing all adds and the limits on free listening.  So download the new app and get your jam on! 

So a lot of us use Pandora on a daily basis, the practically unlimited selection of music you can listen to is amazing! But a lot of us don’t pay for the Pandora ONE account which is $36.00 a year and removes all the advertisements.  

Well I have a little trick for you! If you use the Chrome browser you can just install the Pandora extension and you are not held to the 40hr limit a month and you do not get ads.  Besides somehow getting past these restrictions this extension is very useful and slick. 

Now keep in mind as long as you listen threw the extension these limitations are dropped but when you listen on your mobile phone or threw the website you will still be held to the 40hr limit and you will be served advertisements.   But I imagine a large percentage of people listen while at their computers so this might be a little treat for you.  

Enjoy. 

So Friday morning I was watching Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and drinking coffee when I heard a ring from the door bell.  It was the UPS man and he left a pretty big unmarked box at my doorstep.  I figured it was for my brothers but when I inspected the box I found that it was address to me from a weird address in Kentucky.  I hadn’t ordered anything so I thought this was pretty random.  I opened up the box and found another large box with blueprint images on it and no real company branding.

So we all know that Apple iPhones are the cool kid smart phone on the block right now. The phone design, UI, and app store are what formed the current smart phone scene. But seeing the current growth of the Android platform things are about to change. I’m not going to quote exact industry percentages but simply try to prove a point. Here is the newest google numbers from the Google I/O conference. http://techcrunch.com/2010/05/20/android-numbers/

I’m an apple fan boy (iPhone 3G S, Macbook) but I can see Android taking over the smart phone world. Its only a matter of time. If my dad has a Droid Eris soon the whole world will have an Android device.

What do you think? Will Apple continue to be the leader in smart phones or will Android surpass them?
