We know we haven't always been all that nice to Coldplay in the past. They're a big, broad band that always goes for the emotional kill shot, and we'll absolutely concede that, at times, we've found ourselves annoyed with them. But we also believe that these things are largely a matter of context, and so after they played their second of three shows at the Hollywood Bowl last night, a dazzling, special effects laden tour de force that left pretty much every attendee breathless, we'll happily admit that Coldplay was pretty much born to rock the Bowl in a way that few bands can these days. We suspect that after you see these choice Instagrams from last night's show, you'll agree. More»

Hopefully you all had a peaceful, nonviolent May Day yesterday if you participated in or were nearby any of the numerous demonstrations and marches that canvased Los Angeles as part of the nationwide general strike. The ultimate goal to shut down all businesses, schools, streets and other day-to-day aspects dubbed "A Day Without The 99%" may not have been met, but Occupiers certainly put quite an impressive dent in L.A.'s infrastructure with their "Four Winds" caravan which brought a parade of bikes and cars from four corners of the city that converged in Downtown L.A. Much like Occupy L.A., thousands poured into the streets—between the many wielding signs, others in costume, some alternative forms of expression, and police—to create some pretty spectacular imagery of the downtown landscape.

Just because we're still trying to figure out what Facebook's acquisition of Instagram means for the future of our favorite app doesn't mean that Mark Zuckerberg decided to give us, his Facebook users, a minute to get used to any of the new changes (we're still trying to figure out timeline!). In Facebook's newest ploy to have us on the site every second of every day, they've added a "Listen" button to band and artist timeline pages.

Earlier today, Mark Zuckerberg took to his Facebook page to make a big announcement: as of today, Facebook has acquired Instagram for $1 billion.

It's been a long road for Instagram, the San Francisco-based photo sharing app that first launched in October, 2010, and now that it's under Mark Zuckerberg, Ruler of the Internet's wing, Instagram has the funding and the backing they need to grow faster than ever before.

What this acquisition means for Instagram isn't yet clear. Will Instagram photos now be subject to the same privacy terms as our other Facebook photos? Will Facebook essentially own all of our photos and other content we post to the site? Right now Instagram lacks the stalker-type features that make many people uneasy about Facebook, but there's no word on yet on how many of Facebook's features will be integrated into the app. All we do know is that for now, the Instagram app will maintain the same look that we're used to. But with the way Zuckerberg likes to change things around, there's no saying how long this will last. More»
