Good news for Indian users! After 2 days of stopping Electronic Withdrawal Service in India, PayPal again resumes the service.

PayPal

Indian PayPal users can now use the Electronic Withdrawal service as before. The service is already online. Earlier PayPal had halted the Electronic Withdrawal service, and users could get money only through Cheque.

We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you over the past few days. While we have received your appreciation for the advance notice and the refund of the cheque processing fee, we have also heard loud and clear that you highly value the ease-of-use of our electronic withdrawal service. We want you to know that our customers are our #1 priority and we are working non-stop to improve our service to you.

About 2 weeks ago, at Google I/O, Android 2.2, Froyo was introduced by Gundotra. But, that was not all. Gundotra also announced a new section in the Android Market — Music. Much details about this new project were not disclosed at that time.

Googel Music

The name of the new service may have been found through a new logo that was hosted at Google’s server.

The logo was hosted here. But, it has been taken down by Google and now you’ll find there a 404 Error page.

Google Music will be an over the air service for Android devices — hear a song, purchase it, download it automatically to your Android device.

The service will make use of Google’s recently-acquired Simplify Media’s technology, offering a desktop app that will give you access to all DRM-free media on Android devices remotely, service similar to that of iTunes.

Previously, Apple iPhone 4G/HD was leaked twice. And now the iPod leak! I hope this isn’t Apple’s new marketing strategy! According to Engadget, the device’s serial number identifies a late 2009 third generation iPod touch — could be that this device was one of those eBay prototypes that never made it to production.

Here’s a video of the latest leaked iPod:

Search for a product, like “Levi’s jeans,” and the left side of the page will offer links to maps and Google’s comparison shopping engine.

For some searches, Google will also show a link to its “Wonder Wheel,” which users previously had to click a few times to find. That feature, which the company introduced last spring at its Searchology conference, offers a visual representation of related searches.

-The New York Times

The new interface has been launched globally in 37 languages. Google is also launching the mobile version concurrently for English interfaces in the United States.

Happy Searching.
