Google launches cloud-based music service 'Magnifier'

Putting an end to all sorts of speculation, Facebook has finally unveiled its much-hyped “awesome” feature – video chat service! Addressing a press event in at the Silicon Valley headquarters, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg stated that the video chat would be powered by Skype and that the users could video chat with the people in their friend list. The major announcement comes days after Zuckerberg talked about “something awesome” to be incorporated in Facebook. Speculations ran rife after Zuckerger's “awesome” teaser as the tech world made a range of predictions for that.

Facebook has reworked on its chat segment to make space for video calling. To launch the video chat, Facebook users will need a camera-equipped computer. Then they need to select the friend they want to video chat. As the chat window pops up, click on the small blue video icon. This will bring up the video chat feature. The first time users will be prompted to download an .exe file to install the setup for the video chat. After installation, the user is all set for the face-to-face chat.

To access the tracks from the “Free Song Archive”, you need to have a Music Beta by Google account. “If you don’t have an account, request an invitation). Head over to Magnifier, find the songs you want, click on the “Add free music” buttons and the tracks will be instantly added to your library in Music Beta,” says Google's official blog post. The entire service, including cloud storage, is for now still limited to U.S. based customers. 

Facebook hit 1 trillion pageviews in June, as per Google report

Google published some very interesting stats in The 1000 most-visited sites on the web report for DoubleClick Ad Planner, its ad management service. Facebook.com supposedly managed to hit 1 trillion pageviews in the month of June, standing at the top of the list a whole order of magnitude higher than the next most visited site – YouTube.com, and its 100 billion page views.

Facebook prepping a 'Translate' button for its pages, say reports

Facebook is reportedly prepping a new feature that will allow its users to view others' wall posts in the language of their choice with just a single click. The “Translate” button, reports say, is presently visible to only a handful of Facebook users and is expected to be rolled out elsewhere very soon.

According to InsideFacebook, the new button is placed next to the “Like” option. On clicking the “Translate” button, the language in which the status or post was originally written gets translated to the user's profile language or the default language they've set. The “Translate” button is then replaced by a “Original” button, which allows the users to switch back to the original language.

While the InsideFacebook report does not clarify how many languages are actually supported by the feature, it tips English, Spanish, French, Hebrew, and Chinese as the languages available at rollout. The feature, however, does not work for all comments. In case Facebook is unable to translate the content, it will return with an error message stating: “There is no translation available for this story at the moment."

Moreover, the new feature is limited to Facebook pages presently. Also, there is no word on a mass-translate option that will translate a foreign user's profile into one's native language. However, the new move will certainly help Facebook users get much more access to the global community on the social networking platform. After the availability of the new Translate feature, the users will not need to use a third-party translate tool to post texts in their language of choice.

uMicrosoft introduces Windows Azure Toolkit for Android

Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) issued a new version of its Windows Azure Toolkit optimized for Google's (NASDAQ:GOOG) Android mobile operating system, promising developers an easier, more cost-effective approach to building cloud-based mobile applications targeting multiple device platforms. The toolkit includes native libraries providing support for storage and authN/Z, a sample application and unit tests, all built in Eclipse and leveraging the Android SDK. The Windows Azure Tooklit for Android is available for download here.

Microsoft initially released Windows Azure Toolkits for its own Windows Phone 7 and Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) iOS in early May--updated versions of both rolled out last week, with Windows Azure Toolkit for Windows Phone v1.3.0 available for download here and Windows Azure Toolkit for iOS v1.2.1 here. All three free toolkits enable developers to use cloud services as a back-end to support common requirements like device notifications, authentication, storage and leaderboards--according to Microsoft, developers also can enhance performance by writing client code optimized for each platform.
