Sick of hearing about Google yet? Perhaps you’re not. The search giant has unleashed one final bit, quietly announcing that Chrome for Android has finally emerged from its beta stage as a stable release. Version 18.0.1025123 has officially arrived in Google Play and is available for download now for devices running Ice Cream Sandwich. Updates from the beta appear to be modest, and include some minor user interface tweaks, along with stability and performance fixes — the big news here is the official nod from Mountain View.

If you’re an active Google+ user and you were wishing that Google would create a Google+ app designed for tablets in mind, you’re in luck as Google has announced at Google I/O that Google+ for tablets has been revealed. Claiming to be the best version of Google+ they have ever designed, the app for tablets features more prominent text and pictures, which are apparently “playful” to look at, whatever that means, but we have to admit that it looks pretty good. The Google+ version for tablets will also come with the Hangout feature which the company claims is a more intimate experience, allowing multiple users to hold a video conference together and adding various effects to your friends’ video stream, i.e. adding moustaches, funny hats, etc. The good news is that Google has not forgotten about iOS users and has announced that Google+ for tablets will be making its way onto the iPad as well. The app will support the new iPad’s Retina display, which we can imagine will look pretty good. The app is available for Android today and will be arriving for the iPad in good time (we imagine it is pending iTunes App Store approval), so be sure to check it out at the 
Let’s face it, Apple’s brand of computers cost more than what you would pay for a Windows version with the same specs, but yet there are people out there who would rather own an Apple product. Perhaps its the ease of use of OS X, or maybe it’s the build quality, or maybe some just prefer the Apple brand, but regardless the reason, there is most certainly a market for Apple’s products. That being said, do Apple users spend more PC users?
Exercise can be considered by many to be quite a chore. After all not many people are thrilled by the idea of being sweaty and out of breath for a good hour, right? That being said, if you’re in need of some good old exercise, a virtual assistant by the name of Cody wants to help you do that. While Cody will not help you exercise, Cody will instead help motivate you and keep you on track. Developed by some of Microsoft’s former employees, Pejman Pour-Moezzi and Paul Javid, Cody has been described as, “a proactive Siri. He collects data on your fitness activities, and provides encouragement, recommends activities, and organizes support.”
Google is rolling out a new feature of Google+’s +1 button today in platform preview. Essentially, when users will hover over a +1 button, they will be able to view recommendations for other contents on their site. For instance, if users will head over to the Chrome Web Store and check out the +1 recommendations of Google’s Gmail app, they will be able to view recommended apps as well from their friends. Google pointed out that in order for the recommendations to stay relevant as much as possible, it will be referring to the pages on the same domain or subdomain.

Ever wished you could have a slice of Facebook, but their IPO proved too expensive for your liking? Well now you can, thanks to designer Tomislav Zvonarić who has come up with some rather novel renderings of what he’s calling, the FaceCream Bar. As you can see in the concept above, this delicious, icy treat has been designed after the Facebook logo and to be honest it actually looks pretty tasty! Of course we doubt that Facebook would ever create an ice cream bar of their own, but a little levity on a Tuesday morning to kick the day off couldn’t hurt, right? If you’d like to check out additional renderings, you can head over to the 
We’re sure that there are a good many of you guys out there with decent photography skill who have captured photos and have uploaded them onto Instagram for all to see. However if you feel that maybe your photos deserve to make some money and be printed and hung on walls, now there is an option to do that. A new service dubbed Instaprints (not to be confused with 
Not too long ago, Facebook launched its Find Friends Nearby feature which basically allowed Facebook users to look for friends who might be in the vicinity. However the feature was then pulled, leaving many to wonder why. Some have attributed this feature to being rather “stalker-ish”, but it might have something to do with mobile app developer Friendthem’s lawsuit against Facebook. According to the company’s CEO, he approached Facebook with the idea back in February, so we guess it wasn’t really a coincidence that Facebook decided to launch something similar several months down the line.
