Apple's Ping Rings Up a Quick Million Members [Voices]
If you're going to launch a new social network in this hotly competitive market, it helps if you start with a devout fan base of millions ready to crash the doors the moment the ribbon is cut. Apple announced today that in the 48 hours since it was released, iTunes 10 has been downloaded by more than three million users, and more than a third of them have joined Ping, Apple's new network for sharing and discovering music.

Google to Apply Translation Skills to Privacy Boilerplate [Voices]
Perhaps out of concern for all the ice-cream loving children of the world, Google is lowering the comprehension difficulty level of its privacy policies. The search giant said today it would be updating its privacy documents on Oct. 3--no changes in practice, but much rewriting of legalese and wringing out of redundancies. That should cut down on the plethora of individual product policies currently linked from the Google Privacy Center.

Wave Headed for Google's Remainders Bin [Voices]
If Google keeps this up, it's going to find itself with a busy little bargain basement filled with engineers and developers poking around for deals on discontinued products. First it was the house brand Nexus One smartphone finding new life among Android developers after failing to grab the public. And soon the guts of Wave, the ambitious but amorphous and ultimately abandoned collaboration tool, will be made available as an open-source, client-server package, called Wave in a Box, to those interested in building on Google's experiment.

Inside Tokyo's bustling Shinagawa train station here, a futuristic-looking vending machine has replaced rows of drink bottles and cans with a 47-inch touch-screen monitor. When a person stands in front of the screen, a camera captures his image and a sensor determines the person's gender and approximate age. Based on that reading, the machine "recommends" drinks that fit the customer's profile.

Why Ping Is the Future of Social Commerce [Voices]
Apple announced on Wednesday a cornucopia of new hardware and software: sleek iPods, a brand new Internet-enabled video streaming device and new versions of its iOS software and iTunes 10.

Exclusive: Facebook Blocked API Access to Ping After Failure to Strike Agreement, So Apple Removed Feature After Launch [BoomTown]
It's not as mysterious as it seems, this mini-controversy about finding friends on Facebook for Apple's new social music network. According to sources familiar with Facebook's platform, the social networking giant essentially denied Apple's Ping access to application programming interfaces that would allow it to search for an iTunes user's friends on Facebook who also had signed up for Ping. So Apple shut the feature down.

Take-Two Shoots Out the Lights [Voices]
Take-Two Interactive whupped the tarnation out of its own guidance for its fiscal third quarter today, thanks largely to the success of Red Dead Redemption, the Old West action-adventure game that was released in May and has sold almost 7 million units since. Instead of coming in between $250 million and $300 million, as the company expected, Q3 revenue hit $354.1 million, and non-GAAP net income was 28 cents a share, not the predicted loss of 10 to 20 cents a share. Guidance for Q4 and the full year has been raised appropriately.

Video: Apple's Dad–Chris Martin of Coldplay–Jams for Apple's CEO [BoomTown]
While I am sure there is a better video of this on the Apple site, here are the three songs that Coldplay frontman Chris Martin did at the Apple music event, held at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco yesterday. If you look carefully to the left, looking at the stage, you can see Apple CEO Steve Jobs grinning away at the performances of "Yellow," "Viva La Vida" and a new one, which I think Martin said was called "Wedding Bells."

Video: Even Apple Product Marketing Head Schiller Touts Facebook Connection, Which Has Now Disappeared on Ping [BoomTown]
The plot thickens! While two official Apple pages tout an ability to use Facebook to find friends on Ping--its new social music offering in ITunes--which would be very useful, the feature is now not available on the service. CEO Steve Jobs told me at the Apple launch event yesterday that "onerous terms" prevented the integration at Apple. Which is why it is odd that Apple's SVP of worldwide product marketing Phil Schiller said in the interview after the jump, which I also did at the confab minutes before, that "you can use your Facebook contacts to find friends who are also on Ping and hook up to them."

Social Music Mystery! What Happened to Apple's Ping-Facebook Connection? [MediaMemo]
Why isn't Ping playing with Facebook? It's Facebook's fault, says Apple CEO Steve Jobs: The social network demanded "onerous terms" to connect with Apple's social music play. But clearly there's more to the story. Because while Facebook isn't connected to Ping right now, it had been up through the service's launch last night, and even for some time after that.

September Surprise: AOL Re-Ups and Expands Search Agreement With Google [BoomTown]
In a surprisingly quick and even stealthy move, AOL has renewed and expanded its search agreement with Google, even though many had expected there to be more-competitive bidding throughout the fall to win the deal. The five-year deal, which is actually the third between the companies since 2002, to provide search technology and search advertising by powering AOL Search is more wide-ranging than the one it replaces. It also includes improved search products, global search, mobile search and also a video-distribution arrangement with YouTube, which could evolve over time to include content partnerships.

Steve Jobs on Why Facebook Is Not Part of Apple's New Ping Music Social Network: "Onerous Terms" [BoomTown]
Yesterday, at the Apple music event in San Francisco, I had a short chat with Apple CEO Steve Jobs about its new social music service, called Ping. Essentially, it is a vertical version--in this case for music--of Facebook. But, except for Apple borrowing the blue color scheme from the powerful social networking site, Facebook is nowhere on Ping. So, Jobs explained why.
