Tunatic is officially the coolest thing ever. I've been bugged by that new Intel Core Duo commercial with the guy in the purple shirt poplockin' into multiple versions of himself. The song in the background is something I really like, but I've not been able to track down. So, it came up on TV and I once again remember that the song bugged me, but I also thought of some news item a short while ago detailing a service you could use to find a song using a phone or something. Did a Google search and Tunatic showed up, which turns out to be freeware. I downloaded it and held my laptop up to the speaker. I've got my Tivo working now, so I just rewound and played it back for it, and it got it spot on. It identified it as Ursula 1000's "Born To Funk" and provided a link to AllOfMP3 for it. It's sort of the right answer, since it's actually the same track on the same CD, only one before it. Pretty neat if you ask me. Should come in handy for future commercials.
