The lawsuit filed by the Authors’ Guild directed towards Google and their project Google Books has ended with Google the victor. According to US District Judge Denny Chin, the plaintiffs’ suggestions that Google Books would hurt the market for the original work did not add up against what the project is actually capable of doing. […]
Nearly a decade after it started, the lawsuit between the Authors’ Guild and Google over its book-scanning program has been thrown out. This means that Google can keep digitizing millions of books for free distribution, and more importantly, that fair use is in the public’s best interest.

It’s become apparent today that the teams working with Google for the last couple of Nexus devices – the Nexus 4 and Nexus 5 – may very well have wanted the device(s) to be called something else entirely. While back before the Nexus 4 was revealed – all the way back in 2012 – when […]
It seems that the release dates for the next generation of Google Nexus 10 table (some call it the Nexus 10 2) has been confirmed, where the expected rollout date stands at November 21st at the moment. The amount of silence from Google before is because of the Play Store, as the Internet search giant wants to improve the Play Store beforehand prior to launching the Nexus 10 2. Well, what are the improvements that one is able to expect to appear on the Play Store? Google’s announcement did stress on making all of the tablet-optimized apps easier to browse on the Play Store instead of browsing every app without an indication on just which platform it is meant to run on.
It was also reported that Google has also notified Android developers concerning this matter so that they will make a segregation of their respective apps between tablets and smartphones. If the developer does not take such a step, the created apps will automatically be indicated to see action on smartphones alone. Will the Nexus 10 2 roll out alongside with the Nexus 8? Only time will tell, but we do look forward to see just how the Nexus 10 2 is going to fare in the market when it arrives.

Google rolled out a new update to YouTube’s commenting system that would better integrate the popular streaming video service along with Google+. As you’d expect, the change has been met with many critics of the change, but Conan O’Brien is one person who certainly is enjoying these changes as he likes the fact people will now be required to use their real names when leaving comments.

This week the teams responsible for pushing as many Kindles as possible this holiday season have hit upon a rather lucrative business: custom-made covers. What Amazon intends on doing here is offering up a service that would normally be done by a variety of 3rd-party accessory makers, doing the work themselves to make the whole […]
We’ve seen Google Street View bring us some amazing views that we probably wouldn’t be able to see unless we decide to travel around the world. Earlier this year, Google gave us unrestricted access to a number of NFL stadiums, and today, the search giant is taking us to the watery canals of Venice, Italy. (more…)

We did report earlier on concerning the number of HP Chromebook 11 units which were yanked off the shelves of Best Buy as well as other retailers. Back then, not a single reason was given at all, but it seems that time has proven to be the great teacher yet again as we discovered that the reason these Chromebook 11s were removed from store shelves is this – overheating chargers, not something to be trifled with for sure.
This move was taken by HP and Google after they discovered that a small number of users have reported that their chargers were damaged because of overheating while still in use. It is a prudent step to take by Google, as the Internet search giant has recommended those who already own a Chromebook to stop using the charger which arrived alongside the Chromebook 11, and instead, to make use of a third party micro USB charger. Now is this a temporary turn of the proverbial tables, or what? Should you happen to be in possession of a phone or tablet charger, chances are pretty good that it will play nice with the Chromebook 11. Hopefully this particular mess will be sorted out sooner rather than later, so hold your Chromebook 11 horses in the meantime!

How much of a phone does $179 get you? As of this morning, and the Moto G, the answer is “a surprising amount”: the new Android handset doesn’t rely on carrier subsidies to bring its sticker price down, instead putting the Moto X on a diet and paring back the specs to hit the ambitious […]
