<description><![CDATA[If you know what this is and where it is located, you could be eligible to win a prize in the CNET Road Trip Picture of the Day contest.(Credit:Daniel Terdiman/CNET)Welcome to the Road Trip Picture of the Day contest. This is your chance to win some cool prizes as you test your skills at recognizing pictures.Each day, I'll be posting a new photograph from my various travels, and your job is to try to correctly identify it using any means at your disposal. Throughout Road Trip 2011, which will take me to a number of countries in Western Europe, there will be a new challenge each and every day, and the opportunity to win some great prizes.And now on to today's challenge. If you know what this is and where it's located, please send me an e-mail with both pieces of information (to daniel*dot*terdiman--at--cbs*dot*com) by 6 p.m. Pacific time today. Please note: in order to be considered, you must include the phrase &quot;Picture of the Day challenge&quot; in the subject line of your e-mail. No other methods of entering are guaranteed to be considered.And please forgive me if you don't hear from me if you're not the winner. I get dozens of responses each day. Also, I've turned off comments because otherwise people will post the correct answers there. I hate to shut down discussion, but I want you to figure out the answer on your own. The giveawaysThis year, I'll be giving both a weekly prize and one grand prize at the end of my Road Trip project. Here's how it will work:For the weekly prize, I'll pick a winner at random from among all those who correctly identified one of that week's daily challenges. You get one entry into this drawing for each correct entry you submitted that week. For the grand prize, which is a major brand video game console, the winner will be the person who answers the most daily challenges correctly during the entire project. So there's definitely an incentive to play every day and to answer correctly as often as possible. Be warned: last year, there was no shortage of people who had the right answer most of the time, so the competition for the grand prize will be stiff.Given the constraints of the work I'll be doing on Road Trip, I have to minimize the complexity of the Picture of the Day challenge, so if you want to accumulate right answers and compete for the grand prize, you must use the same e-mail address and name each time. If you use a different name or e-mail address, your answers won't be counted together. For complete information and rules about the Picture of the Day challenge, please click here. Good luck today, and throughout the summer. The disclaimer: NO PURCHASE NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. MUST BE A LEGAL RESIDENT OF ONE OF THE 50 UNITED STATES OR D.C., 18 YEARS OLD AND AGE OF MAJORITY OR OLDER IN STATE OF RESIDENCE AT DATE OF ENTRY INTO SWEEPSTAKES. VOID IN PUERTO RICO, ALL U.S. TERRITORIES AND POSSESSIONS AND WHERE PROHIBITED BY LAW. SWEEPSTAKES ENDS 11:59:59 PM PT ON 8/7/11. SEE OFFICIAL RULES FOR DETAILS.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Andy Rubin, leader of Google&amp;39's Android project, speaks to reporters at Google I/O.(Credit:Stephen Shankland/CNET)SAN FRANCISCO--Android, Google's top developer priority, hogged the spotlight at Google I/O today--in part as the foundation for new Google music and video services.Among the Google I/O announcements today:&amp;149' Google announced Android 3.1, an update to Honeycomb that adds new interface options, lets people plug in USB devices, and sports a movie rental service that works directly from the device. Android 3.1 comes to Motorola Xoom owners today and othertablets later.&amp;149' After Honeycomb comes Ice Cream Sandwich in the fourth quarter, which incorporates Honeycomb features but works on phones and Google TV devices as well. Job No. 1 for Ice Cream Sandwich is reducing the fragmentation problem that makes it hard to write one Android app that works on multiple devices, but Google was cagey on new features coming to make that possible. Also coming with Ice Cream Sandwich is a facial tracking technology.Google tunes up I/O with Android treats (photos) &amp;149' Google's cloud-based music streaming service arrived, as expected. With it, people can upload their own music collection and stream it to their devices--including to new Android-powered Project Tungsten devices that send music to a person's home stereo system. The service is in invitation-only beta right now in the United States. For a look, check out CNET's Google music slideshow.&amp;149' The Android 3.1 update to Honeycomb comes with a movie rental service, including the ability to browse and rent movies directly from a tablet and to cache the movies for watching even if there's no network connection. When people rent a movie, they have to watch it within 30 days, but once they actually start watching it, they have 24 hours to finish. The service begins in the United States but will eventually be launched internationally.&amp;149' Google and Samsung gave away 5,000 Galaxy 10.1 tablets to Google I/O attendees. Honeycomb apps are the company's top developer priority, said Android leader Andy Rubin.&amp;149' Google wants Android to be the hub for any number of devices--home lighting systems, dishwashers, exercise bikes, and more. In addition, Honeycomb tablets running Android 3.1 will act as USB hubs so keyboards and cameras can be attached.&amp;149' Google has some big numbers reflecting Android adoption, including 100 million Android devices activated, 310 devices on sale so far, and 4.5 billion app downloads to date.&amp;149' Google says people will be able to customize their own hardware accessories to be controlled via Android, through its Android Open Accessory initiative and the Android Device Kit, which is built on the open-source Arduino. No release date or pricing has yet been announced for the SDK.Google announces music, movies, and more$lazy(window.GeckoVideoPlayer, CBSi.lazy.videoPlayer, function(){loadGeckoVideoPlayer({parentElement: 'universalVideoid50104656',flashVars:{autoplay: 'false',adTargetType: 'Page',adPreroll: 'true',contentType: 'id',contentValue: '50104656',playlistDisplay: 'over'}},'blogMedium')'})'<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>
