Google and Amazon Need to Get it Together

Let's start this out with a disclaimer; this is an opinion/rant. Do with it what you will. We all know there is some stiff competition between the two Titans; Google and Amazon. But can they please get over their back-and-forth bickering already? It is costing their users like you and me a lot of missed entertainment! About the time Amazon started selling their FireTV devices, they decided stop selling Google products that it saw as direct competition. At the time, this included Google's Android TV devices and has grown to include their Google Home Smart Assistants. Amazon has even gone so far to not just exclude these devices from its search results, but actually display THEIR devices instead! Note the search results for "google home": In an act of apparent retaliation, Google has pulled its YouTube service from availability on Amazon devices. Quid Pro Quo, eh Google?

Apple Bites Back

This video was sent to the Drunken Tech Blog staff anonymously, a few days after Josh, the quirky host of "DTB News" went missing. Be warned, this video is disturbing and should not be viewed by anyone with a soul. The video may cause worry, but rest assured that we know Josh is on his way to freedom, and after a few days to heal up, fix his mowhawk, get some Guinness, and have some time with his Ubuntu Machine, he will be helping the fans get their nerd on again with DTB News.

It shows all the albums it can find by said band and you can play any/all of the songs it finds. So far I have been pretty amazed at what it can find. I was even able to listen to some older GWAR stuff that I couldn't hear on Rdio or other more well-know apps! Oh, and the kicker...It's FREE. Yep absolutely FREE. All you can hear; unlimited skipping; non Pandora-like crap. Oh, and did I mention you can build playlists? And add any tracks you like to them? AND every artist you search for is stored in a list on the main music screen so you can easily get to them again (unless you remove them, of course) (There is an option to remove the ads for $0.99 but it's not necessary. Personally, I did just as a THANKS to the Developer!) Seriously, go get this app now! Play Link: http://t.co/eTIHlE9 (Oh, and in case you didn
