Mountain View has just made it easier to peek the contents of Google Drive files on the web with a brand-new preview feature. Now, users will be able to quickly view up to 30 file types (photos, videos, PDFs and more) in a lightbox overlay, and thumb through by clicking right and left arrows within the window. When it comes to documents, folks can zoom in and out, scroll through pages, and even select and copy text. If the update hasn’t made it to your account already, Page and Co. say you can expect it to roll out over the next few days. As for the Drive’s Android app, it’s been updated to let devices wielding Honeycomb or higher stream video saved on the service. According to the changelogs, the application has also been upgraded with performance enhancements, pinch-to-zoom in the presentation viewer and a grab bag of bug fixes and assorted tweaks.

After Colton Haynes made an unexpected departure from MTV’s hit “Teen Wolf” series, fans were wondering where he’d show up next. It looks like he’s traded one hit for another. And if his character’s name is any indication, he’ll be sticking around “Arrow” for a while. This week, Haynes premiered as Roy Harper, and promptly stole Thea’s purse.

She did some investigative legwork to track him down — didn’t know companies were so free with their customer information — and got him brought in to the police station. As defiant as he is in the comics, Roy didn’t deny what he’d done. Instead, he told a sad story about his mother being hooked on Vertigo.

The story worked; Thea didn’t press charges. But she did track him down at his home to ask for the purse back. The two had an awkward and confrontational exchange at his doorstep, with him calling her out for being a spoiled, rich brat, and her insisting there are more layers to her than that.

Sometimes tips come out of the blue: while one of our editors was out and about earlier today, someone sent him the Sprint product page above. Turns out it’s for a 4-inch Sprint-branded Android phone, the Force, which looks like a version of ZTE’s rumored Force that will conveniently work with the carrier’s sparkling new LTE installations. Specs are middling, with Android 4.0, an unnamed 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 4-inch Gorilla Glass adorned display, 5-megapixel rear camera, 1-megapixel front camera, 1GB of RAM, 4GB of ROM and a 1,730mAh battery. Still, that’ll give you quick connection speeds for $50 when it launches March 1st — presumably on a 2-year contract — joining its more upmarket 4G ZTE stablemate, the 4.5-inch Flash, at Sprint.

It was the “Married … With Children” reunion that wasn’t on “Modern Family” as Bud Bundy appeared on the same show as his TV father, Al Bundy, but neither of them shared any screen time. Instead, David Faustino played an old college classmate of Claire’s nicknamed “Tater.”

Phil mistakenly took Tater as the one person to have ever break up with Claire — making Phil her rebound guy — when it was really the dashing professor at the party. Jay was too busy being a better parent to Manny than Ed O’Neill had ever been to Kelly and Bud on “Married.”

Stil, it would have been nice to see them share at least one scene. Maybe now that Faustino’s Tater is in the show’s world, he can run into Claire again, and this time she could be with her father. Even without the “Married” reunion, Screencrush enjoyed all the cameo appearances in this week’s episode. TV Equals was less impressed, using words like “flimsy” and “floppy” to describe the juggling plotlines of the week, but overall felt that the episode served the purpose of entertaining its fans.
