Google has already released a new Nexus tablet and smartphone this year, the Nexus 7 2013 and Nexus 5 to be precise, it is yet to release an updated Nexus 10 tablet. The company hasn’t confirmed anything as yet about this tablet, so it is not known for sure at this point in time if and when the Nexus 10 2013 is finally going to be unveiled. However, two purported images of the tablet have leaked online. There’s no way to determine their authenticity at this point in time, so its best to view these images with a pinch of salt.

Like the 2008 U.S. Presidential Election, the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, China are being followed in a whole new way this time around, thanks to the Internet. With the Olympics quickly approaching, we’ll be seeing that more and more people follow the events leading up to the start of the games, and then of course the actual sporting events via the Internet whether it be through blogs, online news sites, or maps. And of course big Internet companies like Microsoft and Google are doing their part to make it happen by creating different sites and services related to the Olympics.

We already know one huge way in which Microsoft will be involved, and that’s with their Silverlight platform. They teamed up with NBC several months ago to build www.nbcolympics.com and Microsoft’s Silverlight will be playing a pretty big role on that site. Offerings include:

• 3,000 hours of on-demand Olympic videos will be available (replays, highlights, etc)
• 20 simultaneous live video streams
• 2,200 hours of live event video coverage
• Full-screen viewing will be available
• Metadata overlays so users can view statistics, bios, rules, etc.

At this point Google is involved in the Olympics with Google Maps. Just yesterday on the Lat Long Blog, Google announced that they launched an embeddable map (shown below) as well as a Google Earth layer so that users can follow the path of the 2008 Torch Relay. Users can watch as the torch travels from city to city and over oceans to reach Beijing by August 8th.

By pulling up http://maps.google.com/help/maps/torchrelay/ , we found that the Torch was in Istanbul, Turkey yesterday and tomorrow it will be in Saint Petersburg, Russia. Kids especially, could have a lot of fun with this and learn something in the process.

This week Apple and Samsung are back in court to further speak on the former’s patent case against the latter. Apple’s senior vice president of worldwide marketing, Phil Schiller, went to the stand this week to speak up on a variety of topics, not least of all the effect Samsung’s smartphone and tablet brands have […]

I’ve always found it curious that the entire city of Venice, Italy is built on the water. The way to get around much of the city is by boat, and the main thoroughfares are canals between different buildings and walkways. As close as I’ve ever gotten to exploring Venice, Italy is watching James Bond chase bad guys around the city.

If you want to explore Venice, but can’t afford the airfare, Google has announced that its Street View imagery is now available for all of the canals and walkways of Venice. To grab the Street View imagery, Google workers used their Trekker Backpack and covered 265 miles on foot and 114 miles by boat.

Google says that it covered all the major attractions in Venice and also covered some of the lesser-known features including the synagogue of the first Jewish Ghetto and the Devil’s Bridge on Torcello Island. Google has even offered up a behind-the-scenes video showing how it captured some of its Street New footage in Venice. This is way cooler than those Street View images of CERN and the Large Hadron Collider.

Having a semblance of patience is always a good thing, as the adage goes, good things come to those who wait. Well, I am quite sure that iOS users have waited for quite some time already for the Google Play Music app, which has finally arrived on the iOS platform. One ought to take note that it might require some getting used to Google’s music ecosystem, since it is vastly different from Apple’s. Those who have used Spotify or Amazon would be able to relate to it a whole lot better with most of the focus being on the Cloud. Imagine with the Google Play Music app, you are able to enjoy virtually millions of songs right there and then, regardless of the device, from anywhere.

Google’s Music is mostly in the Cloud, but it does come with a 5 app limit, although there is no limit on the number of devices that will arrive with web browser access. You also have the option to upload up to 20,000 songs for free, work on your very own playlists, and to share them with friends. It will cost you $9.99 each month, although you will be able to take advantage of the free first month trial if you are curious. There is a trio of quality levels to choose from when streaming, which is vital if you are running short on your monthly data, or are in a place with really poor network connection.
