NEW Grenade Sheet music
I feel like it's my birthday - I know that a few people have been sending me email asking if I knew where they could find a piano version of Grenade by Bruno Mars - Well, the search ended a few minutes ago when I found a FREE version of Grenade for the piano or keyboard. Now you can all start practicing Grenade on the piano, and hopefully you'll all end up as good as me!
I don't think I wrote this yet, so my brother was visiting me recently. I'm always happy when he visits. He always seems like he is sitting down to play my piano. So, I asked him if he knew how to play Grenade. Grenade by Bruno Mars is not too difficult. He started to play it by ear, then wanted me to download and print a free copy of the sheet music. After I did a little snooping around OI discovered Grenade had just been added at Piano-Sheets!

Brand New On The Wing Sheet music
I feel like it's my birthday - I know that a few people have been sending me email asking if I knew where they could find a piano version of On The Wing by Owl City - Well, the search ended a few minutes ago when I found a FREE version of On The Wing for the piano or keyboard. Now you can all start practicing On The Wing on the piano, and hopefully you'll all end up as good as me!
I don't think I wrote this yet, so my cousin was visiting me the other day. You don't want to hear all about that. He plays the piano. I asked him if he could give me some pointers on how to play On The Wing. On The Wing by Owl City is hard to play. He started to fiddle around, then suggested that I print some sheet music. I searched on google for a bit, and found it at Piano-Sheets.net!

Microsoft Zune Killing May Have Been Result of Corporate Shakeup - (It's wonderful)
Microsoft Zune Killing May Have Been Result of Corporate Shakeup
Microsoft may have killed its Zune portable media player, according to reports. However, the company seems reluctant to share details about its future plans for the Zune franchise, whose hardware includes the touch-screen Zune HD and first- and second-generation Zune.
We have nothing to announce about another Zune device, a Microsoft spokesperson e-mailed to eWEEK late March 14. Our long-term strategy focuses on the strength of the entire Zune ecosystem across Microsoft platforms.
In a March 14 report, Bloomberg reporter Dina Bass suggested that Microsoft would stop introducing new versions of the Zune music and video player because of tepid demand. However, she added, Zune software would maintain a presence on Microsoft platforms such as Windows Phone 7.
Although the Zune HD earned strong reviews in the wake of its September 2009 release, the device failed to break the Apple iPods tight grip on the portable-media market. That market is also undergoing its own seismic shift at the moment, as smartphones and tablets increasingly become the center of peoples mobile digital lives: even Apple has seen sales of its traditional iPod fall over the past several quarters, a phenomenon the company partially attributes to the rise of the iPhone.
But the Zune hardware may also have found itself something of an orphan after Microsofts massive corporate upheaval in 2010, which saw the departure of the executives who had brought the project to life, and a reorientation of the companys approach to consumer products.
In May 2010, a major shakeup gripped Microsofts now-extinct Entertainment and Devices Division, with rumors that underperforming products and killed projects had led to the departures of its two top executives: Robbie Bach, the divisions president, and J Allard, its senior vice president of design and development. Allard and Bach had each logged about two decades worth of service with Microsoft.
During the first quarter of 2010, the divisions revenues had contributed about 11 percent to Microsofts $14.5 billion bottom line. But the high-profile failure of Microsofts Kin social-networking phones, coupled with continuing problems in its smartphone line and the Zune HDs anemic reception, led analysts to question the divisions ultimate viability.
This has been a vampire division since its inception. A vampire division is one that lives off the value created by the rest of the company and, from a corporate perspective, does more damage than good, Rob Enderle, principal analyst of the Enderle Group, told eWEEK in May 2010. Its profit, which wasnt much, was massively offset by the economic cost it caused to the corporation and it needed to be rethought.
Ballmer later reorganized Microsofts divisions and presidents, breaking the Entertainment & Devices Division into a Mobile Communications Business overseen by Andy Lees and an Interactive Entertainment Business headed by Don Mattrick. By splitting responsibilities for mobile and entertainment to Lees and Mattrick, Ballmer seemed intent on giving those product lines new focus. Part of that focus may have involved killing the Zune hardware, while keeping the software componentand associated media storeas a part of the Windows Phone 7 ecosystem.

Japan quake, tsunami 2011: Donate via iTunes and Google Checkout
Two tech giants making Japan quake and tsunami donations easier.
Google and Apple are trying their best to donate for Japan victims easier.
Google and Apple, two companies that are rivals when it comes to mobile operating system (Android and iOS), are both trying their very best to help the victims of the recent Japan earthquake and tsunami.
Google, with its popular internet search engine, created a page that is specially designed to feature some of the important things about the 2011 Japan quake and tsunami.
From Japanese emergency dial numbers, to news, Google’s crisis response page created by Google.org is one of the most important page on the internet today. Apparently, Google also included an instant donation field, powered by the Mountain View, California-based company’s Google Checkout.
If you’re planning to help the Japan quake and tsunami victims via Google, you must create a Google Checkout account, or you can also create an account by using your current Google Mail/Gmail account. According to Google, “donation must be at least 100 yen, up to 25,000 yen,” and added that all donations “will go to the Red Cross in Japan.” To donate with the help of Google, click here.
Another California based company, Apple inc, is making donations easy with its iTunes software. iTunes is the place where iOS-powered devices and Mac owners buy apps and music. The minimum donation allowed is $5, while $200 is the maximum. Apparently, you can repeat donating. You can start donating via iTunes by clicking this link. According to Apple, all donations will go to American Red Cross.
We’re praying for you Japan.
