Google has been hard at work to offer its users another cloud based storage solution directly from the search giant. The rumors of the Google Drive have been floating around for a little while, with nothing all that concrete to off of. We caught some talk about it just last week and it sparked a [...]
Seems like there isn’t any organization that is too good to drop a suit against Google anymore. The latest in potential filings would come from International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFAI) and the Recording Industry Association of America RIAA. Those are two organizations that represent the music industry have even gone as far as [...]
Meg Whitman had some had some pretty interesting words to say while on stage at HP’s global partner summit in Las Vegas. First, she talked about HP’s commitment for an open WebOS, and then had this to say: OH NO SHE DI-NT! Oh but she did. Now of course there are going to be some changes [...]

First, we reported that anyone using Google Wallet on a rooted device, was easily susceptible to getting their security PIN hacked. This was due to the fact that phones running an Ice Cream Sandwich ROM did not have true NFC capabilities. Next, we came to figure out (the very next day) that even devices running true NFC [...]
Earlier today we heard the good news that the European Union gave Google the green light to purchase Motorola. That was one step in the right direction. The second came shortly after, when the United States Department of Justice gave the thumbs up as well. Looks like all is well in the Googlerola front with [...]
The European Commission has approved the proposed acquisition of Motorola Mobility by the world’s most widely used (and our favorite) search engine giant, Google.

Looks like Google is forking over some big bucks into getting some testing facilities going for all their consumer devices. The $120 million-dollar expansion includes wireliss testing facilities creatively named “Google/@home”. There appears to also be a top-secret percision optics lab that is called “Project X”. Some are saying this might be Sergey Brin’s “Google X”, but [...]
One of the greatest things about the Galaxy Nexus is that it’s a pure Google device, which means that it has more development than any other device on the market right now. I was surfing the forums today, mainly Rootzwiki, and found a ROM that tasted to my liking the moment I clicked on it: [...]
Are you confused yet? I sure as heck am. Just when we thought the frivolous suits would slow down a bit, Apple kicks it back into gear. Currently, Google/Motorola has a suit filed against Apple over one of its FRAND (Fair Reasonable And Non-Discriminatory) patents. Which is a fancy word for company’s agreeing that a technology [...]
Google does some of the crazies little thing with in our beloved OS. We are all familiar with their ability to hide funny little things on their website, in the browser tab and by clicking a bunch of times on a certain bit of info inside your device. Somethings aren’t so much hidden as they are overlooked. [...]
Late last night we posted up a story about how easy it would be for a person to jack your PIN on Google Wallet. The original story was focused on rooted devices only.

We all know that Google can keep track of what their users are looking at via the web, services, and Android devices. As much as we all hate that fact, it is what comes with all this data that we can retrieve in seconds. Google wants more than that though. 100% more to be exact, [...]
Google is pretty notorious for dropping little hidden little goodies inside various aspects of their software. Most of them are just cool little animations and things that make you laugh.
