The Daily Engadget: Microsoft Launching Music Streaming Service, Apple Sells 1.5 Billion Apps
Our friends over at Engadget obsessively cover everything new in gadgets and consumer electronics, which is why we compile this daily roundup of their top stuff. For more details on any of these stories, click on the Engadget links in each story below.

Microsoft Launching Music Streaming Service 'Imminently'
There's no shortage of places to stream tunes online, but Microsoft is apparently eager to add another to the pile. Rumors are swirling that the company will soon be launching a streaming service that would let users stream music directly to their Xbox 360 and Zune devices.

Apple App Store Hits 1.5 Billion Downloads
Got an iPhone or iPod Touch? Downloaded lots of applications to it? If so, you're not alone; Apple has announced that 1.5 billion apps have been downloaded from the company's App Store since it launched.

'Guitar Hero 5' Instrument Detailed
We're not far away from the release of the next installment of 'Guitar Hero,' and no new release would be complete without a new instrument to sink your hard-earned cash into. The new guitar controller sports a red finish and a slew of minor upgrades that are sure to keep your soloing fingers from flying off the handle.

iPhone Musicians Perform Live with Indie Band
Does your lack of instrument ownership, musical knowledge, or creative talent keep you off the stage? Get your moment of indie rock stardom on Friday, when the band Good Night, States will be letting concert-goers in Pittsburgh play along with the show on their iPhones.

Robo-Moth Uses Severed Head as Brains
This sounds like a bad '50s sci-fi movie, but it's true -- honest. Scientists in Japan (where else?) have taken a severed moth's head and hooked it up to a little robot, which can be controlled by signals picked up by the poor thing's still-functioning antennae. Creepy, for sure.
