The news that Google is looking to bring a Game Center-like feature to its Android smartphone and tablet operating system is a particularly interesting one, if perhaps not a surprising one.

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.
When the internet discovered last week that Apple's Siri provided a rather interesting response to the question "what is the best smartphone ever," much hilarity ensued. For those who were asleep for the entire week or somehow managed to miss all the fun, Siri responded to the question by entrusting Wolfram Alpha to do the donkey work. The result, rather unfortunately for Apple, was the Lumia 900 4G.
If you want to reclaim some long lost storage space on your Android smartphone and happen to be someone who is installing and removing apps more often than most, then SD Maid may be the app for you. By completely removing traces of uninstalled apps, SD Maid promises to reclaim some of that storage space that you probably never thought you would see again.
Two rumors that just keep on coming back around both involve Apple's portable machines, and we don't mean the iPad or iPhone. The first is the perpetual rumor that a new line of MacBooks is set to be unleashed, with new devices overdue and very much anticipated by roar warriors the world over.
Apple has taken the decision to rename one of its iPad models in the face of criticism from a collection of countries, over the way the 'WiFi + 4G' iPad was named.
New photos of Ashton Kutcher have shown the actor walking the streets dressed entirely as the man he will be playing in an upcoming movie. That man is Steve Jobs, the former Apple CEO and co-founder who died last year.
The build-up to WWDC always sees a plethora of rumors and conjecture, and the 2012 event is no different. As it is often the case, a new version of iOS is very much the hotly anticipated product this year, what may or may not find its way into the first beta being disputed across the internet.
New discoveries suggest that iOS 6 could be shown off at WWDC, with a beta iCloud web portal potentially giving away the secrets of the developer get-together that kicks off next month.
Well well well, if the rumors of an Apple television were rampant before, then this latest development certainly isn't going to slow them down. In fact, depending on which side of the fence you sit on, this particular rumor could go so far as to confirm the existence of the fabled Apple Television.
So then, that Apple TV's pretty cool right? Right, but you know what's really cool? An imaginary television that may or may not be in the works from a company that refuses to pursue the home entertainment line of products that it already makes.
