Chatroulette has had its share of stormtroopers and Jon Stewart parodies , but now there’s a new star on the block: the Chatroulette improv piano player. The webcam network has quickly ascended to become one of the web’s biggest phenomenons. The anonymous webcam network, estimated to be made up of 71% males, 15% females, and 14% perverts , has gained huge traffic that has attracted venture capital interest and, of course, funny viral videos. The Chatroulette improv piano player, who we found via the Huffington Post , uses only his playing prowess and freestyle vocals to entertain random dudes and win the hearts of teenage girls in hilarious fashion

Google late Wednesday rolled out an alternate take on Google Reader that superficially makes things simpler but is also ideally suited to tablets.

But wait, there’s more. According to a post on HP’s Voodoo blog , the device will give you a “full Web browsing experience,” not a “watered-down Internet” with “sacrifices.” In other words, the HP slate device supports Flash and, well, the iPad doesn’t.

Google has just released an alternative player for Google Reader that gives those with a penchant for browsing news the ability to do so in an image-heavy, TV-like fashion. Dubbed Google Reader Play , the new tool is an experimental Google Labs project that presents stories one by one — based on their Recommend Items technology — using enlarged photos and auto-playing videos (in lieu of text) on a black backdrop. Viewers can redefine categories and star, like or share stories, with those behaviors further contributing to what Google displays. Google Reader Play could be both an entertainment utility for browsing the web and a complement to your Google Reader experience
