Adam Young is Owl City: He uploaded self made songs to MySpace, with songs for sale on iTunes, and quickly developed a following. Young recorded "Ocean Eyes" in the basement of his parents' house and used the Internet to promote the album. It has sold nearly 100,000 copies since its July 28 release and his songs are climbing the U.S. music charts.

Engadget: Acer Liquid A1 unboxed, video style

Posted by on under owl city, th guy, video style, frowny face, unboxing, android, phe, microsd card, owl, cue, nbsp |

The Acer Liquid A1 just started shipping in the UK, and right on cue we've got a video unboxing. Turns out the box housing the 1GHz Snapdragon-powered Android set is fairly interesting itself, with a magnetic hinged design that opens to reveal the charger, manuals, and bundled 2GB SanDisk microSD card and SD adapter. As for the phone, don't hold out for an Android 2.0 surprise -- it's running Android 1.6 with Acer's custom Spinlets UI skin on top, which equals a frowny-face from us. Hopefully Acer manages to update things if this guy ever comes to the States, but for now we'll just let you head past the break and check the video for yourselves -- we're sorry about the terrible Owl City soundtrack, but we had nothing to do with it.

[Thanks, Shreedhan]
