Internet radio service Pandora is distinguishing itself from the über-competitive music streaming market with its latest station, Pandora Premieres. Listeners will be able to preview select albums on Pandora before they go on sale with the new early access feature, which kicks off with singer-songwriter Laura Marling and roots rocker John Fogerty.
Both artists' albums are available for only a week at pandora.com/premieres, with the option to preorder the new releases on iTunes straight from the Pandora station.
Drawing in new users is very important in the crowded subscription streaming space, and exclusive recordings and early access to albums help music services tap into artists' fan bases. The competition between music subscription services is only getting stiffer. Google introduced its "radio without rules," Google Play Music All Access, last week.
Pandora still has a financial edge over other streaming services, however. Despite being forced into charging a small number of users due to an increase in royalties earlier this year, the site is still a steal at $4 per month or $36 per year for Internet radio.
On Tuesday, Microsoft revealed the next-generation Xbox console, the Xbox One. Don Mattrick, Xbox president, called the new system the "ultimate all-in-one entertainment system." Rather than the gaming console as yet one more input into the living room's media center, the Xbox One is designed to be the hub of entertainment, no longer requiring users to switch between modes to play games or watch live TV.
Turn on Xbox One by saying "Xbox On," and continue to use voice commands that are updated to work with more conversational speech, gestures, or scroll with the revamped controller to quickly move between game mode, Internet, music, Blu-ray DVDs, and live TV. To make the gesture and speech interface natural, each One console comes with a Kinect sensor, redesigned to pair with the new Xbox home screen, similar in appearance to Windows 8.
Pricing and availability will be announced later this year. Sign up for a preorder notification and, for a limited time, get $10 in online store credit. Read on for more about the One's multitasking features, fast hardware, and the first ever Xbox live TV series based on the Halo games.

Flash drives don't have the flyest reputation around (although some really cute ones do exist). But that's probably because you aren't used to seeing ones as unique as this set. When it comes to weddings, we like to think of these as a way to say "thanks" to your guests or wedding party members because you can preupload them with photos of the big day and send them out as a sentimental gift. They're fun, they're functional — what else could you ask for? Go ahead, take a look.
Everything about this shot by Instagram user undertheyellow is striking. The composition, the geometry of the spokes, the bubbly pods of the London Eye, and the leaves peeking out of the corner are just a few of the visual elements that make this photograph so interesting.
