Apes & Androids on rcrdlbl.com DOWNLOAD: Apes & Androids. Congrats to RCRD LBL affiliates Apes & Androids on the release of their new record Blood Moon today! We've been spinning their tunes non-stop as of late and are stoked for this band to kick it up to the next level. They sold out Mercury Lounge for the album's release party last Saturday, which was a pretty big feat as well. If you're late to the party on this one, check out their song "Creepy Girls" below, and be converted. Their Queen-meets-shock-horror vibe is pretty unique.

The Folks at Sify Sify Plans To Enter Thin Client Market; Talks On With Microsoft. [By Cerius Shah] After posting a profit last fiscal, Sify plans to sell 30,000 thin client computers in nine Indian cities in the first year of launch. The PC's will be most likely priced at Rs 5,000 per box. According to this Mint article, research firm IDC mentioned 42,723 thin clients were sold in India in 2006. Cloud computing is still in the very nascent stages, besides basic productivity software there isn't much scope for a full desktop experience currently. Add to that the quality and cost of broadband to connect to the cloud and one wonders how many of the 42,723 are local network setups compared to a typical end user who would like access to the web. Other efforts include Chennai based Novatium's Net PC, the Reliance ADA and OLPC pilot project for the XO ($220).
