Backstagers going to the Google Developer day will be glad to hear that some of the engineers behind Chrome will be there. Of course me and Rain will be conducting video interviews like last year and asking the difficult questions. Last years videos, in case you missed them

Hi Dafyd, From the looks of it Radio Pop is only intended to record the radio programmes you're listening too, not the music. But I guess it wouldn't be too hard for them to add in the link between the programmes you've listened to and the track listing for those programmes to extrapolate some
