It is green, has silver sensors on its top, antenna, glass mirrors, tires, front and back seats, and the company “Google” on its back left side. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you Google’s driverless car!

The car comes with a switch that contains both “manual” and “automatic” modes. The driverless car inventors at Google designed the car to be of aid to passengers on the road who have so many daily responsibilities to manage. For the coworkers who need to have their mobile phones ready for that next call, the driverless car lets them talk on the phone while their car does the driving. All they need to do is switch to “automatic” mode to let the car take over. When they are done talking, they can put the car back in their own control and drive the rest of the way....

Google Drive is the unicorn of Google services. It has been on the brink of being released since 2007. Finally, it has been released. Sort of, it's a rolling release and I only got mine after whinn...requesting that I be added. The place to start is the Google Drive page itself. The general description has been a hard drive in the cloud using the massive capability of the Google data centers.. It is unclear why the feature has never gone live before, one guess might be the success of Gmail, Google Docs, and Google Plus ate up the space that was going to be on offer for Google Drive. The best...

Who do you love? Google seems to concern itself with this question nowadays. In recent days, the search engine giant has consumed itself with consumer acceptance of its company. According to a study conducted last month, it appears that Facebook users stay on its social media site for 400 hours a month, as compared to Google—whose users stay in the Google+ environment for only 3 minutes a month. Ever since this report has come out, Google has consumed its time with making sure that people gain respect for the company and its involvement in the technology world.

Have you ever had the feeling that Internet technology is too much like your computer screen? At some point, one must wonder how Internet-like a device can be in nature before it stands out from the rest of its fellow gadgets. As technology takes a turn for the progressive, consumers want to use technology not only to provide fast and easy access to their wants at the click of a mouse; they also want their technology to seem as “homey” as their furniture. Then, there are times when technology is too “homey” and needs to appear more convenient for viewers. The idea of home twenty years ago is not the home idea today. In the past, you had to peruse every channel to find something worth viewing; today, there are television guides and satellite menus to aid the average consumer who...

When you think of great places to post videos, what sites come to mind? Now, if you answer “my blog” to that question, you have likely never heard of YouTube. It is the one place on the web that is known as the “video and music” site of them all. I also like to try Grooveshark.com, a place where you can listen to music for free, without the need to join the site or pay fees for the music. Nevertheless, YouTube is the place for music, videos, and even movies. Some of the best television episodes from my past as a child are available for personal enjoyment on YouTube.

As of yesterday, Google made changes to its YouTube platform, adding additional music tracks and mixing options and creating an Audio Editing feature that is sure to become a hit with platform users. The music tracks now run...
