Apple and Google secretly working on wearable gear, kinda like iPod nano watches

Turning the iPod Nano into a wearable watch may have been the first step into this new direction in Apple devices becoming the apparel of the future. Google is also hot on their heels, looking for ways to integrate wearable tech.

Google's billions in profit put into perspective -- (Infographic)

It’s a law of nature that we grow up being taught that Google is richer than any search engine company ever should be. We don’t question it.

Google, Twitter, Facebook and others send a letter to Congress to stop PROTECT-IP & SOPA bills

As you are well aware, the US government is planning to pass a handful of bills that will enable them to execute censorship in the US and outside of the US… today.

ABC News on Google's "Do a Barrel Roll" Easter egg - The stupid hurts so bad

So a few days ago, the internet caught fire due to the fact Google had planted some really fun Easter eggs in their search page, but more realistically, they were meant to be technical demos for CSS3 and HTML5. If you type “tilt” into the search box, the entire webpage tilts a few degrees, but that wasn’t what started the excitement. If you type “do a barrel roll” in the Google search box, Google’s entire webpage does a complete barrel roll and sends surges of Star Fox 64 nostalgia up your spine.
