Sprint's Android users get carrier billing in Google Play

Image

American Android users started getting carrier billing in Google Play early this month through T-Mobile (and later AT&T), and now Sprint can join the party. Any app, book, music or video purchase can be tacked on to the monthly bill for your EVO 4G LTE instead of going through Google. The move leaves Verizon as the only major US carrier without a carrier billing option, so you'll have to sit tight if you own the original US Galaxy Nexus and hate the thought of a separate download bill. We've also heard nothing about regional carriers being on the roadmap, but we'll keep you posted.

10 Heart-Warming Animal Friendships Captured on YouTube

6-Year-Old Autistic Boy Is a Piano Rock God [VIDEOS]

Ethan W. is on his way to YouTube stardom. A few new videos of the smiley six-year-old playing classic piano pop songs have been uploaded, and one of them — Billy Joel’s “Piano Man” — has caught fire on the web, garnering nearly 80,000 views in three days.

We’ve seen many remarkable kid musicians on YouTube, but Ethan is particularly amazing. According to the description on the videos, he’s playing the songs from memory — in some cases, after hearing them only once.

Old Spice Spokesman Dumps Heather Graham [VIDEO]


The self-help industry is the latest target for Old Spice‘s ever-evolving ad campaign as a new spokesman for the brand gets so confident that he dumps Heather Graham.

The Hangover star makes a cameo in the Procter & Gamble brand’s new ad that shows a guy getting buff and cultivated by listening to a self-help cassette that he clips to his belt (in the shape of an Old Spice antiperspirant package, of course.)

The cassette’s message leads him to win a race against horses, drive an “environmentally friendly sports sedan” and end his relationship with Graham.

Cats in Space: The Feline Frontier [VIDEO]

Question: How do you make a video guaranteed to be a viral hit?

Start with cats, obviously.

But what then? Dastoli Digital hit the mark by marrying kitties with a masterful riff on ’60s space operas, like the original Star Trek. The high production values don’t hurt either.

Except Kyle’s wish to be Batman came true thanks to the Arlington Police and Fire Departments and “A Wish With Wings.” They, along with many others in the community, created an adorable adventure around town for the child, who has leukemia.
