Big Boi has said that there is the distinct possibility of a new OutKast album to come in the new year.
“This is all in the next year or so,” Big Boi says, “starting with my album coming at the top of the year, Dre 3000 right after me…and when the solo albums come out, depending on how the fans support them, then we’re gonna give them the Outkast album.”
Considering how well Big Boi and Andre 3000 usually sell it’s very likely that OutKast is back.

London Undercover is a fabulous company that takes aspects of British culture and applies them to stylish umbrellas. This particular umbrella is called The Commuter (£60) and features a lovely pinstripe pattern on the outside with a nice checkerboard mod on the inside.

Google, adding to it’s ever expanding empire, launched a preview of Chrome OS yesterday. As expected of anything from Google, it looks promising. A more browser based OS the entire thing is web-based and run out of the Chrome browser.
Engadget’s report from the preview:
The entire system is web-based and runs in the Chrome browser — right down to USB drive contents, which show up in a browser tab, and the notepad, which actually creates a Google Docs document. Web apps are launched from a persistent apps panel, which includes Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, and Hulu, among others, and background apps like Google Talk can be minimized to “panels” that dock to the bottom of the screen. Local storage is just used to speed up the system — everything actually lives in the cloud, so all it takes to swap or borrow machines is a login, and you’re good to go. Google also said it’s “very committed” to Flash, and that it’s looking to hardware accelerate whatever code it can — although Google didn’t have a solid answer to give when asked about Silverlight. Overall, Google was upfront in saying that Chrome OS is focused on very clear use cases for people who primarily use the web, and that it’s not trying to do everything: “If you’re a lawyer, editing contracts back and forth, this will not be the right machine for you.”
