I have had some queries via e-mail and Twitter about the iPhone app currently under development, i thought i would provide some further information to keep you guys updated.

I thought it would be super-chill of me to go ahead and just make some straight-up educated guesses to who will be playing V Festival 2010 at Weston Park and Highland Park. That way when the time comes (March) and the bands are announced i can look like some sort of mystic type, like mystic meg.

Possible Headliners

So i have a few guesses to who will be headlining V festival in 2010 so i thought i would just explain them a little better, i may not agree with them, but it's a guess not an opinion.

Muse

They have luckily had one of the most over-rated albums of 2009 and there new material is of questionable awesomeness.

Kasabian

They had a major release last year and were not luckily enough to get invited to V Festival so my guess is this year they may pull it out of the bag.

Kings Of Leon

They had a great year last year with songs like "Use Somebody" and "Sex On Fire" and both songs were lucky enough to be played constantly on the radio and then when they appeared to be going away they were reinserted into the UK charts again.

I'm sure you will agree the bands are much headliner material, i could name 3 bands i would love to headline but like i say, i'm using my education to guess and not my opinions.

I'm not dead, just haven't posted anything for a while because, well, i've had nothing to say. However i thought i needed to post about something that was brought to my attention last week regarding TunesPro, apparently the service is not as legal as i thought it first was.

I have contacted the marketing people who sent me the e-mail regarding TunesPro and after a few e-mails to check the legality of the service i stopped getting a reply. After this and other evidence i found on other websites i have come to my own conclusion that the service isn't legal.

This theory is backed up with other evidence i have found online that suggests TunesPro does not pay royalties to the record labels, which explains how charging 19 cent a song is doable.

So i think from this evidence it is fair to say that buying anything from TunesPro is as good as piracy, if not worse because you are paying to steal. If you really like the music that much, support the artists by buying from iTunes or streaming for free on We7.

Anyone who has purchased from TunesPro as a result of my article i can only apologies.

I was introduced to we7 earlier this year and has since become one of my frequently visited websites because it offers free streaming music from its website with no need for additional software.

Since using we7 I have seen little change in the way of features and some of the features we7 doesn't have annoys me a little, however it is a great service so who could stay mad for long.

we7 is very similar to Spotify in that it offers free streaming music supported by advertisements, the difference is that we7 works through your browser and Spotify requires a download in order to work, this is why we7 is better because you can be anywhere and listen to your music, including work or college.

With over 1 million tracks to stream for free including some unreleased albums we7 is massive and just last week we7 was the most visited music website on the internet according to official statistics of internet usage, a rather big milestone for legal free streaming websites.

I thought it would be a great idea to post some of my ideas for improving we7 in the hope that someone over at we7 would see the post and hopefully work on some of the features, features that i think would really improve the service for everyone.

Recently i made a post about the features that Apple could implement into the next iTunes to make listening and purchasing music a more social experience. I talked about social networking features and public features that would allow your music tastes to be shared with the world or just your friends, i did not however talk about iTunes features that would affect you in the physical world.

In this article i will discuss some features that i believe would make iTunes a more enjoyable feature in a real world social environment. Once again this are only a suggestion and ideas and are not features that have in anyway been rumoured or created already.

iTunes is a massive product and has millions of users and the iTunes experience is quite enjoyable for home users, but once you leave the home you leave behind your library and your taste in music. So if you go out to a bar, club, party or restaurant you listen to what the DJ wants to play, which is not always what you enjoy.

In this post i discuss the new Google product Wave and share some ideas for how i think Google Wave will change the internet as we know it.

Google is clearly the king of the internet and i think it is safe to say that no matter where you go online you cannot hide from the empire of Google. They have their fingers so many pies like statistics, blogs, advertising, publishing and then they have a full hand in the search pie.

As Google have grown by sticking their fingers in more and more pies they are trying new things and most notably lately is their move into the conversation tool, called Google Wave.

When iTunes 8.0 was released last year (September 2008) i wrote a blog post about the future of iTunes and how iTunes would incorporate social networking features into its software to help people discover new music which would inevitably increase iTunes sales.

Since then iTunes 9.0 has been released and it didn't really implement anything new into the software, the software is still the same old iTunes with a nicer interface and couple of new features and i honestly don't believe these small changes deserve a full new version release, instead it should have been called iTunes 8.5 at the most.

Web Designers of world i have decided to make a post about great Firefox tools to help speed up your work flow. These are add-ons and plugins that typically help me with designing and coding so i thought i would share them with the world.

The tools i have suggested are tools to speed up debugging, general designing and then uploading.

Incase you didn't know already i'm a web designer (and developer) and something all web designers come across at least once during the design of a website is cross-browser compatibility and i'm sure you can ask any website designer what they think of IE6 (Internet Explorer 6 - keep up with the acronyms) and they would throw so many obscenities at you that you would most likely cry.

It's no lie that web designers hates Internet Explorer especially Internet Explorer 6, simply because it has trouble rendering the simplest of things and when it does it normally renders them incorrectly. Below is my breakdown of common problems i face with the 3 versions of IE.

In the last couple of months Microsoft launched a new campaign to try and tempt Internet Explorer users to upgrade to the latest version of the browser, when you did Microsoft would give 8 meals to hungry americans and if you upgraded from Internet Explorer 6 they would double that to 16 meals.

This obviously is a good cause because I certainly don't want any fat american to have their body start consuming the large amounts of food stores around the body, so I immediately i jumped onto the cause and used it as a good way to get people to upgrade from the dreaded Internet Explorer 6 browser, a web designers worse nightmare.

Just a quick blog post before i go, i have created a V Festival 2009 clashfinder, it is basically a timetable that allows you to see when bands are on (estimated times) and see whether or not there is a clash between the bands you want to see.

I used this clashfinder from eFestivals Forum for the times and sexed it up a little with my l33t photoshoping skills.

I left out the B Live tent and Strongbow tent because, well, frankly i have heard of none of the bands and didn't want to spend too much time replicating something someone else made.

I love iTunes because it's easily the best media player on the Mac when combined with QuickTime and iTunes is always running on my iMac because it is simple, has create playlist abilities and is super smooth. I'm also a massive fan of how music players incorporate social features, these music players are not mainstream enough like iTunes is and iTunes has the infrastructure for these features to easily be incorporated.

In this blog post I talk about what iTunes is missing in terms of social features, these are only ideas and one can only hope that these features would be implemented in the near future, it would clearly make sense for these features to be incorporated because they would boost revenue via the iTunes store and boost iTunes' user-base massively.
