Google is known for the Internet as well as the “Google Nexus” devices- that are pure Android. Also, Google offers Internet service in select cities but did you know that Google is working on dropping its hat into the wireless service ring? Like many projects, Google Project Fi has not released anything about becoming a possible wireless provider. It seems though, if you have the new Motorola Nexus 6 tester (and received the newest firmware update), there is an app “with the placeholder name of ‘Tycho.’” This new app seems to be a portal to the elusive Google portal for...

The United Nations’ has added Internet a basic human right. There are about five billion people who are not connected to the World Wide Web (approximately 49% of the world is not connected to the internet) due to living in rural areas and just not having cost effective ways to bring Internet to everyone around the world.

Austin, Texas has a massive festival that brings together “bright minds in digital technology, health, film, gaming and more.  The festival is called:  the South by Southwest Festival.  At this year’s South by Southwest festival a great invention was revealed (if you love Oreos).  The machine debuted at the event’s “Oreo Trending Vending Lounge” – a space that delivers “deliciously hyper-personalized and customized snacks based on real-time data collection.”  (http://www.3ders.org/articles/20140308-oreo-uses-twitter-to-3d-print-custom-cookies-with-trending-flavors-at-sxsw.html).  The machine uses techniques similar to 3-D printer to make the cookie with a variety of colors and flavors that you choose.  The flavors include banana, birthday cake, lime, mint...

It is estimated that in the past 12 months roughly half of the American adult population has had their information exposed by hackers. That is a ridiculous number and kind of a testament to how far we have come in the digital crime era. It’s not because we are ignorant to bad stuff on the internet because we aren’t.
