We’ve been invited to a breakfast with Sundar Pichai, the man with the [Chrome and Android] plan, and we think we know what you’re dying to find out: will we feast together on bran muffins or jelly donuts? Coffee or orange juice? Kidding aside, we imagine one of the biggest fellas on Google campus doesn’t just want to have us over for tea, so we’re going to be there with our liveblogging hats on, ready to get you all of the latest product announcements and other news at a second’s notice. Perhaps Android 4.3 and the latest Nexus 7? Or is it something else entirely? Will there be dancing?

Tricking the Eye: Phenomenal 3D Art
Posted in: Today's Chili
The art world is full of surprising and unexpected styles, but there have always been some clear separations. Paintings, drawing, and photographs stay on the two-dimensional canvas, while sculptures exist in 3-D. Those boundaries are difficult to cross, unless you are Ramon Bruin, a Dutch artist who excels at blurring the lines between reality, art, and the physical boundaries of a 2-D world.

Remember the HTC DROID DNA? The HTC DROID Incredible series? The Samsung DROID Charge? Those are no longer, thanks to a new partnership deal between Motorola and Verizon that will see the DROID moniker only being carried on Motorola devices for now on. Of course, Motorola was the first phone maker to coin the “DROID” name, and they’re getting it back all for themselves now.
Speaking with CNET, Verizon’s vice president of marketing operations Jeff Dietel revealed that yesterday’s announcement of three new Motorola DROID devices also marks the beginning of a partnership between Verizon and Motorola, where all new devices with DROID in the name will be Motorola handsets.
Dietel also revealed that Motorola’s new DROID lineup that was unveiled yesterday will have longer shelf lives than other devices on Verizon. Plus, the DROID ULTRA series will remain Motorola’s flagship lineup for a while, although he didn’t provide a timeline of when that could change.
The DROID series is a trademark for Verizon, and only Verizon devices get to bear the name, and Motorola was the first phone maker to do so, thanks to the release of the Motorola DROID back in 2009 that helped spread the word about Android and make it a mainstream platform that more and more people would adopt.
Because of that, it makes sense that Verizon is partnering up with Motorola and giving them exclusive rights to the DROID name. This puts Motorola in a good spot at Verizon, and will make the DROID series the flagship lineup for the carrier. Sure, the iPhone will get a lot of love, as will the Galaxy S 4 and any new device that comes through, but the DROID series will always be a priority for Big Red.

With an olfactory potency hundreds of times more sensitive than ours, a dog’s nose is an invaluable tool in the service of humans. But understanding exactly what your dog’s nose is picking up has traditionally been limited to specific yes/no answers, such as airport drug dogs ("do you smell weed on this suitcase, yes or no?"). A new device from the Georgia Institute of Technology, though, aims to drastically expand your dog’s vocabulary.
