 It's Wednesday, March 13th, 2013. My name is Niv Shah, and I'm supposed to pretend that you're a camera. This is 90 Seconds on the Verge, brought to you by Motorola. The father of Google's mobile platform is stepping down. After alerting the masses via lime-green smoke, Google announced today that Andy Rubin will no longer serve as head of the Android team. Taking his place will be Sundar Pichai, who also led Google's Chrome and Apps initiatives. Rubin has overseen the operating system from Android's days as a startup company. So by my count, that's Apple's Scott Forstall, Microsoft's Steven Sanofsky, and now Andy Rubin. I guess the rules of three are complete. Twitter may be getting into music discovery in a big way. CNET is reporting that the company is preparing an app called Twitter Music that will let users discover new tunes based on who they follow. According to the report, songs will be streamed from SoundCloud if available, or they can be previewed in iTunes. The app will reportedly use technology from the music discovery service We Are Hunted, which Twitter reportedly acquired in the last six months. And finally, Veronica Mars is back. Thank you, Kickstarter. Series creator Rob Thomas and star Kristen Bell have launched a campaign for a film version of the cult TV show. The goal is $2 million, and while Warner Bros. wouldn't agree to finance the film outright, it has agreed to distribute the finished product. Rewards include digital downloads, on-set visits, and a trip to the premiere. The movie is expected to shoot this summer for a 2014 release. So how's it doing? Well, at this point it's made $1.7 million, and so it should hit its goals any minute. That's it for today's top stories. Tune in tomorrow when we take a look at the high-pressure world of competitive table flipping.
