Welcome to Jim Carrey's World

November 9, 2009

Cynics may deride Jim Carrey's new personal web site because it went online just as his latest movie (A Christmas Carol) arrived in theaters. Therefore, according to them, it's just another cheap PR ploy. You know – like appearing on the Tonight Show. Well, of course, it's PR, but it sure is a cool site.

Log onto www.jimcarrey.com and you'll be rewarded by a Flash-intensive treat. The actual content is a little thin, but you'll enjoy wandering through it. It's a visual blast, in a Terry Gilliam Pythonesque sort of way, authored by noted web designers 65media.

So, what's in Jim Carrey's world? Read on.

You'll see lots of graphics of Carrey from his more memorable film and TV roles, pasted into very surreal scenes. A Carrey bird flies around to parrot Carrey's Twitter account, and a news feed is delivered via a blimp (or is it a dirigible?). Follow the arrows down the rabbit hole, and you'll worm your way into some fun places. Probably the most endearing part is the personal photo album. I mean – a photo of Carrey mugging for the camera in front of the Grand Canyon – who hasn't done that?

The cynics can snicker, and refuse to log on. That's fine — that'll leave more bandwidth for me. But, most importantly, what do you think about Jim Carrey's world?

Filed under: , ,

Motorola's Droid is a sweet piece of hardware that's hyped to give the iPhone a run for its money, especially since it's running the new Android 2.0 OS, and works on the Verizon network in the US. We care about software here at Download Squad though, and there's some dismaying news about the Droid on that front: it has only 256MB for app storage. Seriously.

The Droid reportedly only packs a 512MB ROM (that's the built-in memory), of which only half is allocated for apps. There are some iPhone games that couldn't even fit in that teeny-weeny storage space! But at least it's expandable, right? Um, nope. Google doesn't support installing apps to the SD cards that Motorola relies on, so developers are pretty limited in terms of file sizes for their Android 2.0 software.

The Droid may have a solid CPU and GPU for gaming, but games that take full advantage of that hardware are likely to need 100 megabytes or more of storage space. That's going to make things pretty tough until Android 2.0 comes to a device with a lot more pre-installed flash memory.

rdio_logo_nov09c.jpgWe've been lucky enough to get our hands on leaked screenshots from one version of Rdio, the forthcoming music app from Skype, KaZaA and Joost creators Niklas Zennstrom and Janus Friis. Zennstrom and Friis were the original financiers behind peer-to-peer file sharing site KaZaA, but Rdio won't be following a free-for-all sharing model. Instead, Rdio will be a subscription music site similar to Spotify.

What will the men behind some of the most successful software of the online era do when it comes to music? Check out what we've discovered so far.

Sponsor

Currently being tested by a very small number of people, Rdio is an on-demand streaming service where users pay per month for unlimited music and connect to share playlists and music reviews. The company plans on creating an additional revenue stream via 99 cent song downloads and $10 album downloads.

These screenshots look cool at first glance, hopefully more retro than ugly. It will be interesting to see how the iPhone app looks and how it interacts with the touchscreen.

According to Rdio's Get Satisfaction page the service will offer a desktop client, a Blackberry application, an iPhone app and a web interface. The company's Blackberry application (that's what's pictured here) is already available to beta testers. Users can control their community dashboard, listen to playlists, find other music in heavy rotation and stream collections.

According to the company's blog, the application offers mobile playlist cacheing like Spotify's iPhone app and MOG's upcoming service. Rdio's iPhone and Android apps will offer the same functionality where users can continue listening even when they don't have access a wireless network.

On Saturday, TechCrunch wrote an article about the company's engineering team. Given Rdio's ties to Imeem, Songbird and KaZaA, the team is more than equipped to build a decent streaming music site with a download client. Its success will probably depend on how it differentiates from other subscription products like Rhapsody and Spotify Premium.

The company has already closed deals with Warner Music and smaller labels like The Orchard; however, deals with EMI, Sony and Universal have yet to solidify. In order for Rdio to stand a fighting chance against others with catalogues of more than 6 million tracks, the company will have to negotiate licensing deals with all four major labels. Its rumored that Spotify is hoping to accomplish the same feat before launching its US service.

Rdio hopes to launch in 2010 but will presumably go live shortly after securing licensing deals. We're excited to see that happen.
