Happy Tuesday, everyone! It was a pretty great week on the internet, so let's get going.

First off, this celebratory video by Hank Green is a joy. We got net neutrality, and that's amazing. Watch this and feel good (at least until republicans try and repeal it).

### New Music

- [Olly Murs - Never Been Better](https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/never-been-better-deluxe/id952976932?ref=birchtree.me) (it's a pretty shitty week for music, so generic pop is all I've got)

[A Yeezy for all Seasons](https://medium.com/matter/what-s-the-greatest-kanye-west-song-of-all-time-you-re-wrong-3cdd59cf78a4?ref=birchtree.me) is a battle to the death of Kanye West's 32 best songs to see which one is the best. This must have taken forever to create, and I found it hard to disagree with many of his picks. Fantastic!

[What was it like to deliver a presentation to Steve Jobs?](http://www.quora.com/What-was-it-like-to-deliver-a-presentation-to-Steve-Jobs?ref=birchtree.me)

Dust off your plastic instuments because [Harmonix is making Rock Band 4](http://www.polygon.com/features/2015/3/5/8130935/rock-band-4-harmonix-ps4-xbox-one?ref=birchtree.me) and it's coming out this year. I'm actually pretty excited to get a new Rock Band game after all these years. As a people, we burned out hard on the series, but I do remember the sheer joy of playing those games fondly.

[Sync 2.0](https://www.getsync.com/?ref=birchtree.me) by Bittorrent was released, and is better than ever. I don't have a great use for this right now, but if you have a NAS, this is great.

[Life After Cancer: How the iPhone Helped Me Achieve a Healthier Lifestyle](http://www.macstories.net/stories/life-after-cancer-how-the-iphone-helped-me-achieve-a-healthier-lifestyle/?ref=birchtree.me). Federico Viticci tells an incredibly emotional and inspirational story of how his iOS devices are actually improving his life.

[Pebble: The Not-So-Final Verdict](http://www.sanspoint.com/archives/2015/03/07/pebble-the-not-so-final-verdict/?ref=birchtree.me). Richard Anderson mirrors my view that owning a Pebble convinces you that notifications on your wrist is awesome, but the Pebble itself has too many limitations in its current form (at least on iOS).

[WatchAware is a new site dedicated to the Apple Watch](http://watchaware.com/watch-apps?ref=birchtree.me) and they have this great page that shows you semi-functional versions of tons of apps coming to the watch. If you're still a bit confused about the difference between notifications, glances, and apps, this site will help sort that out.

And finally this week, I found this old review of the Palm Pre Plus from 2010\. It's humerous to see what we were thinking about smartphones just 5 years ago and how faw we've come. It's also a reminder of how badly shot phone reviews were up to this point. Love them or hate them, [The Verge](http://www.theverge.com/?ref=birchtree.me) (which launched in 2011) really raised the bar for what we expect from a product video review.
