Pandoras box

It is seldom that I get really hocked on some piece of technology. FPGAs, formula one and Qt has been able to really get my attention this far. Today I tried a new candidate in that list: pandora. The Pandora Internet Radio is really amazing - the kind of indexing they've done of the music is really amazing. I really hope that they can arrange for broadcasting rights withing EU ASAP because I really like it.

Did you already know about Last FM ? A similar -but IMHO a much better- service.

Here's an interesting bit of information: Pandora's "Music Genome Project", a highly technical and sophisticated set of algorithms for corrolating similar music, is nothing more than monkey employees making the links by hand.

(I met someone with inside information recently)
