Google Babble and the future of chat singularity

, Mar 18th 2013 Discuss [0]

Today the folks at Google have been tipped to be pushing all (if not most) of their chat apps and ecosystems together into a single entity called Babble. This single chat system would take everything that is Google Talk, Google+ Hangouts, Voice, and Messenger, combining them into a final product that spans the entirety of your Google-made universe. With Babble, Google will have its Gmail for chat. Read The Full Story

PSA: Google I/O 2013 registration begins at 7AM

, Mar 12th 2013 Discuss [0]

Google I/O registration begins tomorrow at exactly 7:00 AM PDT, so I hope you all have your alarms set, Google+ accounts registered, and Google Wallet information prepped to shell out $900 for a ticket ($300 for academic students and faculty). Yes, Google is requiring registrants to have a Google+ and Google Wallet account this time around, but I'm guessing most of the people attending already have both accounts set up (or at least one).

Google Glass: the Feminine Fashion Concern

, Mar 8th 2013 Discuss [0]

If you’ve seen the photo shoots that’ve come out thus far for Google’s Project Glass, you know good and well that they’ve taken just as many photos of the device on the heads of women as they have of men. The idea that the device will not be as appealing to the feminine side of the equation here is about more than just the idea that women will or will not want to wear the first wave of Glass as it appears on the market, but according to a couple of sources we’ve had a peek at this week, there does seem to be some concern that only the distinctly male amongst us will want to go “wearable” with Google in 2013.

Google Picasa albums now redirect to Google+

, Mar 5th 2013 Discuss [0]

Google's Picasa photo sharing service has been a great platform for uploading photos and sharing them, but it looks like Google will be giving it the ax soon, as URLs of Picasa albums are now being redirected to Google+ URLs. This isn't too surprising, since Google introduced some great photo features with their social network, but it's sad to see Picasa slowly faded out. Read The Full Story

Google Glass in focus: UI, Apps & More

, Feb 22nd 2013 Discuss [0]

You’ve seen the Glass concept videos, you’ve read the breathless hands-on reports, but how exactly is Google’s augmented reality system going to work? The search giant’s Google X Lab team has been coy on specifics so far, with little in the way of technical insight as to the systems responsible for keeping the headset running. Thanks to a source close to the Glass project, though, we’re excited to give you some insight into what magic actually happens inside that wearable eyepiece, what that UI looks like, and how the innovative functionality will work, both locally and in the cloud.
