So you say you’re a store clerk who was shot with a low-caliber pistol, but you didn’t die because and HTC smartphone blocked the bullet? Lucky you, HTC is all about taking care of those that miraculously have their lives saved by an EVO. This week’s incident happened in Florida where a Hess gas station […]
Today several photos have appeared from a shipping facility somewhere in the world with the Google Nexus 5 ready to hit stores sooner than later. This device is appearing with a black front, a black back, and a blue box not unlike that of the recent release of the 2013 edition of the Nexus 7. […]

Updated Google Glass units were reported as to currently be on the way as the company has announced existing Glass Explorers will be able to swap out their current units for new ones sometime later this year. The updated Google Glass would include compatibility with prescription frames as well as sunglasses and will include a mono earbud, but up until now, we haven’t seen what the new connected specs will look like. Well – Google published some new photos as to what they look like on the product’s Google+ page. (more…)

If you’re an avid user of the Google social network called Google+ you will be excited to hear that starting this week everyone will have access to customized vanity URLs.

We know that there is an event planned for the 5th of November in which it is speculated that the Google Nexus 5 and Android 4.4 KitKat will be announced/released. Granted Google and LG have yet to confirm it, the invite really doesn’t leave much to the imagination and according to a post on Reddit, something is going on with a multitude of Google apps. The poster has noticed that to so far, 16 Google apps have been updated and shows the 29th of October as the most recent update, although no changelog was shown and the updates have yet to roll out to the masses. The apps in question are Google Play Services, Gmail, Drive, Calendar, Earth, Translate, Chrome, Hangouts (announced but not yet due for release), Goggles, Play Magazines, Keep, Wallet, Blogger, Google+ (which has been rolled out), Analytics, and Fiber.
It is unclear what’s with the sudden update of all these Google apps. While Google did hold a Google+ event recently, that might explain the updates to Hangouts and Google+, but certainly not the rest. Could this have something to do with the upcoming announcement of Android 4.4 KitKat and with the native Google apps being primed and ready to be compatible with the operating system? That’s certainly a possibility, albeit rather speculative, but what do you guys think is going on here?

We’ve all received a good look at Google Glass at this point, but the version known today won’t be what arrives in the average consumer’s hands when the device is officially launched. This we knew, as well as having an idea about what to expect from later versions, but now we have a first visual […]
Facebook got attacked, hard and effectively, from two fronts today. Both Twitter and Google announced new features that compete with Facebook’s killer service: photo sharing.

There’s a conspiracy theory appearing in print this week summoning up the suggestion that Apple purposefully creates products that become obsolete over time. The very idea that such an article exists – here in 2013, no less – but that it only targets one single company as such makes it clear: someone didn’t do their […]
