Google Street View is quite possibly one of the company's best innovations to date, besides cataloguing the entire World Wide Web, that is. Being able to take a virtual walk down a very real street is something that would have seemed almost impossible not too long ago, but Google made it happen. And today, Google is stepping things up a notch.

Oliver Haslam has written about technology for over a decade. His work has been published in print at Macworld and online pretty much everywhere else. If it plugs in or has a battery, it's fair game.
We've covered our thoughts on in-app purchases in the past, specifically parents who go after Apple because their kids ran up huge bills after they were able to buy all manner of things in-game - often racking up huge bills, we’ll even go as far as saying ‘ridiculous bills’. Whilst many people have little sympathy for such parents, that didn't stop approximately 23 million people taking to the courts over the matter.
A new trailer has been released for the upcoming Steve Jobs biopic starring Two and a Half Men's Ashton Kutcher. The movie, originally scheduled for release this past April, will reach theaters the world over on August 16th. You can watch the trailer after the jump.
If there's one rumor that just won't go away, especially when there is talk of a new iPhone being on the cards, it's the suggestion that Apple is all set to bring a new, larger screened device to market. The release of the iPhone 5 was the first time those rumors were actually right, but with some claiming a yet larger device is on the horizon, could Apple be about to take Samsung on at its own game?
We don't know about you, but we could sit and listen to Steve Jobs talking about anything, and we mean, anything at all. The enthusiasm alone is enough to keep anyone spellbound, but when he's talking about something as important as legacy, then things really get interesting.
Well what do you know, maybe miracles do happen and maybe, just maybe, multinational corporations do listen to their customers. At least, Microsoft does.
Microsoft's Surface RT tablet hasn't quite taken off in a way that we're sure Microsoft would have wanted it to. In fact, we suspect that's the reason behind a new initiative that the Redmond outfit is putting into place that will see discounted slates being made available to educational institutions.
When you're presented with such a big redesign as iOS 7, there are bound to be a few hidden gems to be discovered. There are a few additions in the first beta of the latest version of iOS that Apple didn't crow about at WWDC, but there are some features that were never meant to be found, too.
It seems that we can't go any longer than five minutes without iOS 7 for iPhone or iPad being in the news these days, which is quite a feat considering it's not going to be available for another three or four months. Today is no different, and the latest piece of iOS 7 news comes courtesy of the iPad.
The news may be dominated by the hardware coming out of Apple, Microsoft and Sony right now but that doesn't mean that we can't get excited by software anymore, and that includes websites, social networking websites to be more precise.
