Google's ambitious plan to digitize millions of books and make them available online has run into quite a few roadblocks since its original inception. Many, including the Department of Justice, agree that this could be an excellent way to bring hard to find literature to the masses.

New phones coming out with new hardware/software is hardly breaking news these days. But Motorola has done something a little different, to great fanfare to boot, and that's release a phone that is supposed to be attractive to consumers based on primarily their online service, MOTOBLUR, which is great for social network gurus.

Google has released, relatively quietly, an online database of statistics. Because it's Google you know it's easily searched, and even in its infancy we were able to pull some interesting gems. For example, a study in March 2009 by OTX showed that 33% of young people (12 - 24 year olds) globally (UK, US, Germany, India and Japan) are contactable at all times, even in their sleep. That's the kind of stuff that makes you go, "huh." Read More

With the exception of the trackpad, not a whole lot has changed in keyboards since your parents were your age, typing essays into their IBM Selectrics (or even Apple IIes, if you had technically savvy ancestors). ASUS, never one to think inside the box, is doing some pretty cool stuff with their new Eee Keyboard. Like stuffing an entire computer into it. Read More
