imeem and Warner Music Group launched a historic partnership today with the release of Warner's entire music and video catalog available to imeem users in North America for interactive, on-demand streaming on imeem's free, ad-supported service. imeem is a social network where users share content and discover new blogs, photos, music and video.
This is an apparent about face as Warner had sued imeem as recently as mid-May for copyright infringement. With this new partnership, Warner agrees to drop the lawsuit and In return receives a cut of imeem's ad revenue.
Below is a widget from imeem featuring Warner artist the Red Hot Chili Peppers' song "Under the Bridge, " which can be played freely.
Warner's impressive line of artists include: Madonna, Linkin Park, Green Day, Josh Groban, Faith Hill, My Chemical Romance, Big & Rich, John Adams, Shawn Colvin, Jaheim, Cher, Red Hot Chili Peppers, R.E.M., Seal, Blake Shelton, the Flaming Lips, Eric Clapton, Hot Hot Heat, Damien Rice, The Used, Joshua Redman, Michael Bublé, Chris Isaak, Robert Randolph, Steely Dan, Trapt, Fleetwood Mac, Emmylou Harris, Brad Mehldau, Goo Goo Dolls, Tom Petty, as well as Alanis Morissette, Michelle Branch and the Deftones.
With similar arrangements from major labels with YouTube for ad supported access, perhaps this marks the beginning of the end of protracted lawsuits and ushering in a new era of ad supported media.
Maybe the widget should be placed after the break? It kinda startled me when I entered the website and a song started playing. I didn't know where it was coming from and how to turn it off! :O
I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.
In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.
To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.
Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
