We have become all too familiar with Google’s fun doodles over the years and as tradition rolls around again, today’s Google doodle is dedicated to Halloween. This doodle is fun though, since you are able to interact with a click of your mouse. You will have the opportunity to open 5 doors in which will ghoulishly spell the trusted name of Google. You can start from left to right or anywhere you want to knock and play a quick trick or treat with the Search Engine. …

As of this morning reports from NOAA  – The National Hurricane Center – has stated that what many are calling the Frankenstorm or Mammoth storm is now worsening, bringing more severe weather as it intensifies. “…SANDY NOW MOVING NORTH-NORTHWESTWARD AND ACCELERATING… …EXPECTED TO BRING LIFE-THREATENING STORM SURGE AND COASTAL HURRICANE WINDS PLUS HEAVY APPALACHIAN SNOWS…” …

For most of us, the Google driverless car project is just another esoteric thing that Silicone Valley billionaires do with all their money.  However, it might surprise you to learn that the driverless car project has the potential to influence the direction that the automotive industry goes.  Everything from cheap car insurance to motor vehicle laws could – and most likely will – be changed by this project. The driverless car project is an ambitious undertaking by a team of Google-sponsored engineers to create artificial intelligence software powerful enough to enable a car to drive on the…

Dear Microsoft: You’ve lost the search war so far in dramatic fashion. Not only were you not able to make a dent in Google’s domination of search, you did so without much of a fight. Sure, you put out some television ads in a nice blitz around launch, you integrated Facebook into the mix, and you improved your search results to the point that many would argue that Bing is better than Google. However, you didn’t truly “blitz” the airwaves like you said you would, Google added G+ into the mix and made it search-functionally better than your integration with Facebook, and they continued to improve their…

Technology is moving quite rapidly in the upward direction, even in the field of search engines. Google search engine is the company’s most used product. It is major source of revenue for the company. With the addition of Google Instant and Google Suggestions to its search arsenal, the Web giant shook things up in the Web search domain. However, more recently Google introduced two new features-Voce Search and Search by Image. These features not only benefits end users, but are also important for Web content publishers, as they offer them additional means of getting their content to appear in…

The New York Times is not known as a publication that looks for the silver lining in news, but they make a point that may be the only good one for Apple when it comes to their disastrous iOS 6 maps launch. Things Can Only Get Better. They certainly couldn’t get any worse. In the ongoing cold war between Apple and Google, users were hit as the first casualty. The brand new maps, brought about as a replacement to help remove a relationship between the two tech giants that has existed since the first iPhone, are so bad they’ve become comical. It’s not funny in the way that Google handled their 8-bit maps for April…

Some of you may already be familiar with Google Drive since it has been available to try and accessible as an app on Android. However, for the rest of us, we remain curious as to what will happen to our Google Documents once Google Drive takes effect. Of course certain small changes will occur such as documents at the header will show up as “drive” and your created and shared documents will be separated indicating ownerships and updates on the right-hand side with the added feature of avatars. …

Those of us that use social media as a platform to share information through articles from various blogs and websites (including our own) whether it is for personal or professional use, like to be able to see the impact of the effort. The social networking site, Twitter, has become the perfect place for article sharing in particular since you can tweet as much as you like without worrying as much about clogging the feeds or being auto-hidden by its algorithm like on other social networks. Therefore we not only share what is on our minds, but interesting reads that we have discovered or written across…

If you thought the battle between Apple and Samsung was big, you may be in for a mobile device war between the two largest superpowers if recent statements out of the Google camp are to be believed. Reuters is reporting that the new heads of the two companies, Google’s Larry Page and Apple’s Tim Cook, were in meetings last week that were expected to continue today but had to be postponed for unknown reasons. Apple won the first major battle over Samsung which many are considering a proxy war against the overall Android operating system. Mobile OS is considered both the present and future of computing…

I could go on for days about the Facebook app, but since their latest update the app has been less annoying and that means less time spent on waiting for it to load, so I seriously can’t complain right now. However, there is one thing I wish would change about the Google Plus app. I enjoy G+ although it has caused many discussions about its social capabilities and whether it is a ghost town or not, truth is, it is a great social site and with Google’s SEO the two will be the future. With that said, I enjoy the most recent update to G+ that happened a few months back; its flipboard like feature, the easy abilities…
