As Diablo 3 gamers have probably heard by now, the Auction House will be closing on the 18th of March and true to their word, it looks like Blizzard has since taken steps to deactivate the Auction House.

NBA pros wear Google Glass to give fans a new point of view

Each of the three Kings was wearing Glass, and each was recording as they worked their way through an informal shootaround hours before the night’s game against the New Orleans Pelicans. As they played, they taunted and bragged, well aware of the technology they were wearing. “Google, record that,” one shouted as he made a sweet shot. “Google, stop Ray,” Johnson commanded.
