FBI has tapped the powerful mapping service of Google, Google Maps, to make it all possible. 
Two hackers from U.K. are sentenced to 100 hours of community service after officials found them guilty of stealing unreleased Michael Jackson tracks from Sony Music Entertainment. 27-year old James Marks and 26-year old James McCormick were arrested in 2011 after Sony contacted U.K. authorities.

HP was and still is a pretty big name in computing, although we guess the company did not manage to experience the same success when it came to their mobile products, at least until the HP TouchPad went on a fire sale and when people found out that you could actually port Android onto it, so how long will it take before HP manages to regain some of its former glory? In an interview with
