Considering that video games are the focus of many an exhibit these days, the following news shouldn’t be too shocking. The Victoria and Albert Museum in London has appointed Swallowtail Games founder Sophia George as its first-ever Game Designer in Residence. George, who won a BAFTA for her iOS title Tick Tock Toys, will be tasked with creating an interactive game for museum visitors. The first six months of the residency will involve researching the V&A Museum’s extensive collection of 16th- to 20th-century art, and game production will kick off in mid-2014 at Abertay University. You know it’s only a matter of time before the Met commissions a digital interpretation of its own massive sculpture gallery.

Afer being asked by AllThingsD‘s Walt Mossberg whether Google SVP Sundar Pichai saw the need for more privacy, Pichai said that he wants to bring several of the security and privacy options that users already see on Chrome across to its mobile platform. “When we did Chrome, we invested in incognito mode. Now you can do that on the phone [through the Chrome app].”

“You’re completely not signed-in, and we don’t know anything about you… We do want more things like that, though. From a security, child safety, etc. standpoint. Chrome OS lets you be a guest user. We’re working on things like that on Android.” Unfortunately he didn’t elaborate on any timeframe or anything more detailed, but it looks like Google is taking those privacy concerns on board. Who knows, perhaps we’ll see something incognito-ready on the next big Android update.

Today in a much more official manner than we’ve been experiencing thus far, Google Music has been announced to be coming to iOS. It’s been announced by Google’s Android head Sundar Pichai just this morning at the D11 conference where he’s also dropped the bomb: the HTC One Google Edition. So as Android gets a gift of that silver hardware with Nexus innards, iOS gains Google Music, Google Music All Access, and a rather significant competitor to iTunes.

It should be surprising to you to see Google Music being sent to iOS, readers. It wasn’t long ago that it appeared that Google Music was made for Android only – allowing Android users to hold this experience as their own while Apple did the same with iTunes. But here it is – official and coming in “about a month” according to Pichai.

At the moment it’s not clear exactly what kind of user interface will be presented in this iOS access to Google Music. While Pichai was clear that their teams were “working like crazy” to bring All Access to iOS, the Google Play store’s ability to sell music to iOS users was not exactly confirmed.

It wouldn’t be unfounded at this point, on the other hand, as Pichai was also clear about their goals to keep their services “universally accessible.” When asked when the Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8 apps would be coming, Pichai essentially said that they’d have to wait until they had enough users to constitute development.

“We want to reach as many people as possible. For platforms that don’t have that many users at scale, we have great HTML5 apps. If they get more users, we will make apps.” – Sundar Pichai

Sound alright to you Windows users? The comments above were also in response to BlackBerry as much as Windows Phone – when will there be enough of a user base to bring Google back to BlackBerry?

Apple is all about the music today, with the new 16GB iPod touch, word of 100m iPod touch selling since 2007, and now details of the upcoming iTunes Festival 2013. First held in 2007, the 2013 show marks the festival’s seventh outing, with acts including Justin Timberlake and Jack Johnson set to appear, while the tickets are handed out as iTunes prizes.

In the UK, there’ll be two primary ways to get tickets: either through the new iTunes Festival app, or through the iTunes Store. However, there’ll also be tickets distributed through various other routes, such as free daily newspaper the Metro, and TV station Channel 4.

It’s not UK-only, however, even though the iTunes Festival is being held in London. There’ll be tickets up for grabs in the US, Australia, Brazil, Canada, mainland Europe, Japan, and Mexico, though different countries will distribute entry passes in different ways.

However, Apple will also be streaming the daily concerts – one every day for all 30 days of September – via the Apple TV, along with to iOS devices, both live and as on-demand performances after the events have taken place.

The full line-up is yet to be confirmed, but along with Timberlake and Johnson there’ll be shows from Queens of the Stone Age, Phoenix, and Thirty Seconds to Mars. Jake Bugg, Primal Scream, and Jessie J have also been inked in.
