SoundCloud may finally be gearing up to make some serious money (paidcontent)
SoundCloud is one of those rare European online startups that is cornering its
market: if you want to embed or share pure audio, whether it be music or
podcasts, you'll probably use this service. But that said, even if SoundCloud
is the great hope of the Berlin scene, its ability to turn a decent profit has
remained questionable.
A couple of moves revealed at SXSW on Monday may change that. The first is a
drastic simplification and improvement of SoundCloud's paid-for premium tiers
-– the company's primary source of income – while the second is the
introduction of a so-called Pro Partners tier for brands. The Pro Partners
tier is not only a serious potential revenue source, but it also introduces a
visual element to the site that is likely to trickle down to ordinary consumer
accounts in time.
## Freemium boost
Let's look at the simplified freemium model first (bearing in mind that free
membership allows two hours of uploaded audio). Previously, SoundCloud had
four paid tiers, starting on the Lite package, which offered four hours of
audio for €29 ($38) a year, and grading up to a Pro Plus package that included
unlimited audio and ...

Lego Ferrari Formula 1 car unveiled in Australia (Autoblog)
Filed under: Motorsports, Toys/Games
We have enough Lego fans on the _Autoblog_ team that, were cars wiped off the
face of the Earth tomorrow, our fall-back plan would be to launch _Legoblog:
We Obsessively Cover The Lego Industry_. So a full-size Ferrari F1 car made
entirely out of Lego bricks is something that's sure to catch our attention.
Unveiled yesterday by Ferrari drivers Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa in
Australia ahead of the season-opening Melbourne Grand Prix, this 1:1 scale
model of the team's 2011 Ferrari F150 Italia car is a highly accurate
recreation of the real thing. While Ferrari hasn't released too many details
about it (a brick count would be nice), we do know that the car has real
Pirelli race tires and a seat that can actually accommodate a driver. Once
buckled in, though, everything within arms reach is made of Lego, including
the complicated F1 steering wheel.
The Lego F1 car is part of a promotion between Ferrari and Shell that's been
going on for some time. In some places of the world (not the US, though), if
you stop at a Shell station and refuel, you can purchase these special ...

South by Southwest (SXSW): Airpainting With Corel Painter Freestyle (timeblogs)
One of the most dazzling demos I ever saw at a tech trade show happened more
than twenty years ago, at a Macworld Expo in Boston. It involved a new
software package -- then called Fractal Design Painter -- which let Mac users
create digital art which replicated the look of real-world art supplies such
as watercolor and charcoal with great fidelity. At the time, the whole idea
was a tad mind-blowing. There aren't all that many applications from the early
1990s which are still alive and well, but that product, which is now known as
Corel Painter, is one of them. And at South by Southwest Interactive in
Austin, Corel is showing off an upcoming version of Painter with a whole new
twist: you can paint by waving your fingers around in the air, without ever
touching a mouse, a screen or a Wacom pen. The technology which makes the demo
possible is Leap Motion's upcoming motion-control gizmo for Windows PCs and
Macs. Scheduled to ship on May 13 for $70, it's a 3-inch-long USB device which
enables Kinect-like control of a computer through gestures. But Leap Motion
says that its technology is ...
