Google is excellent about recording and archiving proceedings of nearly all of its events, be it an internal tech talk, regional meetup, or product announcement. Google I/O is no exception.
While all individual sessions are recorded and archived after the event, all main sessions and keynotes will be live-streamed this week at http://www.google.com/io.

Cheeky, but exceedingly friendly ad for Microsoft Windows 7. The play here is that Windows is better for fun stuff, like watching movies on DVD, than Mac.

Using a handmade stop motion animation style not unlike Michel Gondry’s, perhaps the only flaw in this charming ad is that it’s so visually intoxicating, you might just forget what the ad is for.
(thanks for the pointer, sameera!)
