Skype Now Available for All Android Devices

Skype is now available for the Android platform, but only on devices running Android version 2.1 or later.

The Android app lets users make free Skype-to-Skype calls, as well as send and receive IMs for free. Calls to phones are charged at Skype’s standard rates. The app is capable of making calls on both Wi-Fi and 3G, though all carriers except Verizon are limiting it to Wi-Fi.

If you already have a Skype account, you’ll be able to instantly access your contact list on your Android device after logging in.

Skype for iPhone, which was launched in May 2010, is one of the most successful apps on the iOS platform, and we expect the Skype for Android to become a hit, too.

Android users can install Skype over on skype.com/m or through the Android Market. Check out an introductory video below.

Update: To clarify, Skype for Mobile has long been available to Verizon customers. Today’s release makes available Skype for the Android platform as a whole. Non-Verizon subscribers will now be able to download Skype for Android through the Android Marketplace — regardless of carrier — as long as the device runs Android 2.1 or higher

Netflix for iPhone Now Plays Movies on Your TV

Want Netflix streaming on your living room TV? You’ll have to drop $100 or more on an Apple TV, Roku Box, Blu-ray player, video game console, HDTV or Google TV device that supports it — unless you already own aniPhone 4 or fourth-generation iPod touch. In that case, you can just plug the device into your TV and watch from your Netflix app.

Netflix updated its app for iPhone and iPod touch today with minor bug fixes and one killer new feature: TV out. You can use one of the many adapters that connect your handset’s USB port to an external display with component, VGA or composite connections — just remember that only the iPhone 4 and the most recent iPod touch support video out so far.

Netflix originally considered a strategy that would involve building its own set-top-boxes as exclusive providers of Netflix content on your TV, but we believe that would have failed. Now game consoles, Blu-ray players, TVs, mobile phones, portable media players and tablets are supporting the service, giving everyone a plethora of options for getting that content on any screen they want at any time.

Though the prophecy of Netflix in every living room hasn’t been fulfilled yet, it’s getting closer. Using a cellphone as a Netflix-streaming set-top box could save some users money and it’s just plain cool for those who already have other options.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Signs New Law… Marijuana Is No Longer A Misdemeanor In California!

Yesterday afternoon – Governor Schwarznegger signed a new law that lowers possession of up to one ounce of marijuana to a mere summons or infraction rather than a misdemeanor.  Basically having the stuff and getting caught would be similar to getting a speeding ticket.  According to Fox News:

Schwarzenegger said after signing Senate Bill 1449 that he does not support decriminalization of marijuana, but the law would save the state courts money.

“In this time of drastic budget cuts, prosecutors, defense attorneys, law enforcement and the courts cannot afford to expend limited resources prosecuting a crime that carries the same punishment as a traffic ticket,” the governor said in a statement.

The bill authored by San Francisco Democratic Sen. Mark Leno was supported by the Judicial Council of California — the official policymaking body of the court system — and by the California District Attorneys Association.

California’s major police associations all opposed the legislation.

Opponents said reducing possession to an infraction would discourage people cited for the offense from seeking state-funded drug treatment as provided for drug offenders under a ballot measure passed in 2000.

The governor signed the pot law as state voters prepare to weigh in on a closely watched ballot measure to legalize marijuana for recreational use — a measure Schwarzenegger opposes.

Somebody Had To Ruin It

Earlier this week an unfinished song from Ye’s album leaked on the internet. As usual, most sites grabbed it and ran with it. Once Kanye got wind of the leak he asked for it to be taken down.  All seemed to blow over, until last night… when another unfinished track leaked. Kanye wasn’t so generous this time. And as you can see by the Twitter update above, he decided to cancel G.O.O.D. Friday (hopefully for this week only).

"One Perfect Cup" -Designer: Sven MILCENT & Utopik Design Lab

Sven MILCENT & the Utopik Design Lab have done it! They’ve taken our entire collected evolution of cup-making and holding of drink history and combined it into one cup. One cup to hold them all. This is “One Glass for Every Drink” and it’s made to work for everyone. It of course tends to the four main glass-specific types of drink: water, cognac, wine, and champagne. It uses the same head and a different base for each of these. Sounds lovely doesn’t it? Let’s have a sip or two and talk about it.

This isn’t the first interchangeable base cup we’ve had here on Yanko, and it wont be the last. It’s a fantastic idea and deserving of a slew of attempts at it in order to make it perfect. Here’s one with some really fabulous ideas, and rather elegant ones if I do say so myself.

And while we’re at it, I’ve got to say that my favorite drink glass in the world must be the snifter – looked after here closely by that cognac glass on it’s side. Very sassy. Very nice. Very on it’s side where it definitely aught to be, havin a great time.

Denim Primer: Improving Your Jeanius

If you’re not naked and you’re not at work, you’re probably in jeans. When faced with pants mandatory situations, jeans are the go to solution for guys everywhere. Guys and denim go together like pop stars and breast implants or bacon and everything. Since you will undoubtedly be living in jeans, it only makes sense to get a quality pair. Spending more than $200 on anything that you can’t ride – especially clothes – is a lot easier in theory than it is in practice. The problem is a lack of education. With so many different variables – and a lack of resources – how can any man be expected to make an informed decision? We’re not going to call this the denim bible because if we did no one would read it. Consider it more a collection of helpful hints or a map to get you from boxers to a night out on the town.

BlackBerry Playbook

The PlayBook will have a 7-inch screen, making it half the size of the iPad, and weigh about to the iPad's . And unlike the iPad, it will have two cameras, front and back. RIM didn't say what it would cost, but said it would be in the same range as the iPad, which starts at $499.

The PlayBook will be able to act as a second, larger screen for a BlackBerry phone, through a secure short-range wireless link. When the connection is severed - perhaps because the user walks away with the phone - no sensitive data like company e-mails are left on the tablet. Outside of Wi-Fi range, it will be able to pick up cellular service to access the Web by linking to a BlackBerry.
