+[The Google blog annouced][1] a new feature on [Google Maps][2] today. When you search for business on Google Maps there is now a "click to call" link which will call the selected business for you.
+Clicking the link reveals a dropdown menu asking for your phone number. Enter your number and click "connect for free" and Google will call your phone number and automatically connect you to the business. 
+The call is free, but if you use a mobile number airtime minutes will still be used.
+There is also an option to remember your number so in the future you can make calls with just two clicks.
+It's a small but handy addition, especially since the call from Google will cause the phone number to show up on your caller ID in case you need later.

+It turns out that the internet isn't all porn, in fact the internet is 99 percent porn free.
+[According to a newly release U.S. government study][1], only one percent of the sites indexed by Google and Microsoft contain sexually explicit content. The study goes on the conclude that less than 6 percent of all searches return any sexually explicit results at all.
+The government's new study, conducted by Philip B. Stark, a professor of statistics at the University of California, Berkeley, was commissioned by the Justice Department in the hopes of reviving the 1998 Child Online Protection Act.
+The U.S. Supreme Court blocked the Child Online Protection Act in 2004, ruling that it would also stifle the free speech rights of adults on the Internet. The court went on to say that filtering software may work better than such laws.
+Stark's research also looked at software filters and concludes that the strictest filter they tested, AOL's Mature Teen, blocked 91 percent of the sexually explicit Web sites. I'm no mathematician, but I think that means the odds of children finding porn on computers with filter software are, uh, low.
+The less restrictive filters typically blocked about 40 percent of sexually explicit sites in Google and Microsoft's indexes.
+The ACLU, which has long fought the Child Online Protection Act, is citing the new study as evidence that software filters are an effective alternative to legislation.
+Additional Stark's study found that roughly half of all sexually explicit sites are foreign and thus beyond the reach of the Child Online Protection Act, whereas software filters retain their effectiveness regardless of the origin of the content.
+The burgeoning field of image recognition software holds some promise that in the future software filters will get smarter and more effective, but in the mean time the debate over legislation will likely continue.

+As noted in this morning's reboot, [MP3.com][1] is back from the dead and has reopening its servers to audio uploads. The landmark site is in no small part responsible for ushering in the online music era we've all come to know and love.
+MP3.com, founded in 1997 by Michael Robertson, once had one of the largest collections of downloadable music on the net. A series of lawsuits forced MP3.com to pay out millions in copyright infringement damages. After being acquired by Universal Music in 2001 it was later sold to its current owner, CNET, in 2003.
+However CNET only acquired the domain name not the millions of files once hosted on MP3.com's servers. CNET had transformed MP3.com into a music news and editorial site, but now the site is once again offering audio uploads for aspiring bands.
+MP3.com is now offering band profiles, 100 MB of audio storage, and software to upload and edit music, videos, and photos. There's also a new Flash audio player that creates and saves playlists.
+The feature set of the redesign seems targeted at going after MySpace Music, but having browsed around the site for the last hour, as much as I hate to admit it, from a band's point of view, I think MySpace is better. 
+The pages lack the customization features of MySpace (though the defaults look better than most MySpace pages) and the emphasis is less organic, community-based. MP3.com tries to integrate established artists with unknowns and claims to put them on equal footing, but in the end if comes off more like your favorite local band hired some slick PR company to turn them into an pseudo-established artist.
+Like many CNET properties MP3.com feels like it's trying to do too much. And the advertising is prolific and annoying.
+I want to be excited about MP3.com's redesign and new features, but frankly I found it less than compelling as a way to discover new bands.

+Hutchinson Whampoa, which operates British mobile provider [3][2], has teamed up with [Sling Media][1] to delivery streaming cable television to mobile devises.
+The announcement is part 3's new "X-series" service which aims to more broadband services to mobile subscribers. The X-series service, which for now will only run on the Nokia N73 and the Sony Ericsson W950i, will come with Sling Player Mobile pre-installed.
+Also included in the package are offerings from Orb, Google and Microsoft. For the time being 3 has declined to give any pricing details, but a SlingMedia spokesperson I talked to said the new package plans will move away from a bandwidth-based price structure to a subscription model. 
+The new service is available in the UK beginning December 1st. 
+SlingPlayer Mobile is software that allows you to watch their regular television on your mobile handset. The company first introduced the software earlier this year and currently supports Windows Mobile smart phones.
+The version to be installed on UK phones will be running on the Symbian software found in popular Nokia and Erikson handsets.
+Hutchinson, 3's parent company has 3G networks in eight countries worldwide and is expected to follow the UK rollout with similar offerings in its Australian, European and Asian markets.
+This is the first time SlingMedia has partnered with a mobile carrier to deliver its software and services.
+Entertainment companies and content providers have historically been reluctant to support any technology that delivers content outside the traditional channels, but Brian Jaquet of SlingMedia claims the company has been working with not against the entertainment industry.
+"We've had a lot of discussions with content holders to address their concerns," he says adding, "It's a fine line that you walk, you want to deliver a great application and service, but you want to be mindful of the content providers rights as well."
+I asked about the possibility of a similar U.S offering, but so far SlingMedia has no immediate plans. Jaquet says, "you can't look at it as a cookie cutter situation, every market is very different."
