Google is planning on launching a cloud storage service named "Drive." The infamous "Gdrive" has been rumored in the pipeline for years and years and now that services like Box and Dropbox are sexy, of course Google's trying to get in on that action. The Wall Street Journal cites sources familiar with the matter, which state that Drive will facilitate the storing of photos, documents and videos on Google's servers, allowing them to instantly share them with other people. Google Drive is tipped to launch in the 'coming weeks or months' [...]

The FBI has released Steve Jobs' 191-page FBI file, which consists of a 1991 background investigation conducted when Jobs was being considered for a "sensitive position" in the Bush I White House. Read it here .

"And that, folks, is how completely f***ing moronic Nielsen ratings are. The fate of one show can be determined by the television watching habits [of] 430 grandfathers who fell asleep watching a crappy procedural." - Dustin Rowles , crunching the math of the infamous Nielson Ratings, which relies on only 25,000 households, out of approximately 115 million households in America to determine TV ratings. To be clear, this isn't a problem with how Nielson runs its business, but rather on the networks and other TV channels relying on Nielson's faulty approach to determine a [...]

DropBox is awesome. We told you some cool things you can do with it last year. One of my favorites was the uTorrent automation. Being able to automate tasks to make life easier is pretty compelling. For example, if you are away from home and stumble upon a killer Grateful Dead show from eTree that you want to fetch the torrent for, you simply download the torrent to a DropBox folder and it is waiting for you when you get home. No need to open your browser at home, no need to find the torrent again, no need [...]

Prior to concluding on the name as Aakash pill the government of India had chosen the name to be actually Sakshat to be actually made in collaboration having HCL Infosystems. Yet due to some trouble having the business the Authorities needed to place the project out with respect to bidding all over once more. Around 3000 samples where received by each as well as every state as well as tested based on his or her functionality as well as power company. [...]

ho are asking inquiries about Aakash . If one are questioning what are the ways to reserve this tablet, there are easy ways of doing it. There is actually a official website committed to this tablet, known as the aakashtablet.com. Instead, one can easily also go the web site of DataWind, the official maker of Aakash. On both these websites one can easily position their purchases which are in the type of booking immediately. It aren'ts being refered to as a [...]

After nearly a year underground (or lurking in the dark corners of who-knows-where), the Gorillaz 's Murdoc Niccals has resurfaced and is again wreaking havoc — this time over the airwaves. The miserable despot breaks his radio silence to let you lovely kiddie-winkles know that he's now created some new kind of monster. Stay tuned in to find out what it is.

In 2005, David Choe , a graffiti artist, was invited to paint murals on the walls of Facebook's first offices by Sean Parker, Facebook's president at the time. As payment for services rendered, Facebook gave Choe the choice between a few thousand dollars in cash or stock options. Despite believing the idea of Facebook was "ridiculous and pointless," guess which option he chose? Yup, he chose the stock. Despite only owning between .25 and 1 percent stake in Facebook (the NYT's best educated guess), after the company filed an IPO yesterday, Choe's stock is [...]

Current GRAMMY® nominee Adele will make her much anticipated return to the live stage on the 54th Annual GRAMMY Awards. This will be her first time performing live in nearly five months since being forced to cancel a sold-out U.S. tour to undergo surgery on her vocal cords. "I'm immensely proud to have been asked to perform at this year's GRAMMY Awards," said Adele. "It's an absolute honor to be included in such a night, and for it to be my first performance in months is very exciting and of course nerve-racking, but what a [...]

Birth of a Star from Tom Lowe on Vimeo . "This movie presents a visualization of the star-forming region known as S106. This unique three-dimensional view illustrates and emphasizes that many of the objects contained within astronomical images are not at the same distance, but, in fact, spread across light-years of space. The Hubble image is augmented with additional field-of-view from the Subaru Infrared Telescope. The stars and the lobes of glowing gas from the Hubble/Subaru two-dimensional image have been separated and sculpted using both scientific knowledge and artistic license to create [...]

Last year, around this time actually, we wrote about a USB Power Outlet from Fast Mac . Now, according to the New York Times there's another USB power outlet offering . This one comes from " Power2U " and will set back consumers $30. The outlets are UL-certified for use on a 15 amp 125 volt circuit. The company said the outlet was compatible with iPads, iPhones, iPods, Android tablets and phones, tablet computers, cellphones, game systems like Nintendo, Sony and PlayStation, Bluetooth headsets, digital cameras and GPS devices that charge through a standard USB [...]

Saw this on MTV earlier and it's so bad. Normally, we keep it positive about the musics, but this song and video are ridiculous. Will.i.am is like junk food for music. Think about all the reasons you wouldn't eat junk food then think about this song and how weak sauce it is. Will.i.am was working on a business deal with Universal Music Group and we heard he's a fairly opinionated dude. Not just like strong convictions, but opinionated in a pretentious way. Don't ask how we know that. Will.i.am shouldn't have to tell us how hard the beat [...]

I wasn't into the whole techno scene back in '05, but I sure as hell remember Daft Punk's "Technologic." I may not have appreciated it that much back when, but I loved the flow of the words. In Scary Toys remix of the "Tecnologic" classic, the bass buzzer goes nice with Daft Punks witty little one liners. Love the choice they made & the style they presented it. Scary Toys Members: Luciano Ferreira & Pedro Lintz Location: Belo Horizonte , Brazil Scary Toys on: [...]

Eric Fischer has been using available location data to map Twitter traffic of major cities . The results are a "beautiful cartographic representations of our information flow," writes Josh Weinland at Clusterflock . The image above is of New York and it's fascinating how much Twitter traffic in a major city resembles a nervous system or the map of an older population center driven by available waterways. Other metropolitan areas seem to clustter around major roads and transit ways, except for Chicago.

So, it has been a while since we dropped the first version of our simple iPhone theme: available free at the Cydia store (available on jailbroken devices). With the higher resolution of iPhones and iPads, the theme was long due for an update. It consists of a photo of a site model, Ashlee Nicole, as well as a handful of replacement system sounds to make your phone sound less like the exhausted default. The use of iDevice-especially iPhone-sounds is getting pretty rampant in various forms of entertainment, and don't you find it annoying to think maybe you just got a [...]

Electro producer Ftampa, the man who brought you the epic remix of Avicii's Levels , has apparently taken a couple of his close friends under his wing with the result being Scary Toys. As expected, the sound is still pretty similar to that of Ftampa's yet its got their own take on the up and coming Brazilian electro style. But not to mention it takes some huevos to remix Daft Punk. They leave just enough of the original track to take us back before breaking it down into some funky glitch filled bass! Turn it up and enjoy this [...]

Andy Baio just published his annual look at the piracy of Oscar-nominated movies . First, the good news: "A record 37 films were nominated this year, and the studios sent out screeners for all but four of them. But, so far, only eight of those 33 screeners have leaked online, a record low that continues the downward trend from last year." But, wait: "While screeners declined in popularity, 34 of the nominated films (92 percent) were leaked online by nomination day, with 25 of them available as high-quality DVD or Blu-ray rips. Only three [...]
