It may not have been the biggest announcement made at Google's I/O developer conference, but the unveiling of the company's Google Play Music All Access service outlined the Big G's intentions to compete with the modern day streaming music services. Google Music has provided a platform for music fans to listen to and store some of their favorite tracks, but with All Access thrown into the mix, the likes of Spotify and Pandora now have a genuine contender from Mountain View. The accompanying app was updated for Android straight away, and while any kind of Google Music app for iOS has been conspicuous by its absence, Google has announced a version for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users is now incoming.
HTC's One has followed in the footsteps of the Galaxy S4 (aside from the obvious) in releasing as a stock Android variant, doing away with Sense 5, BlinkFeed, and all the other packaged software taking up that valuable storage space.

YouTube has added a new feature to its video editing mode, bringing an awesome slow motion mode to videos that are uploaded to the social video service. More details can be found right after the break.
The popular Google-branded LG Nexus 4 has been around for quite a while now, and while most high-end smartphones tend to launch in a dark and light combination (black and white, unless you're thinking Samsung Galaxy), the Nexus 4 has only been available in black.

Google Glass is definitely the hottest topic around at the moment, even if Google didn't say much about the new technology during its Google I/O opening keynote. The internet is abuzz with stories from people who were lucky enough to get their hands, or heads, on one of the Explorer Edition of the product a couple of weeks ago. We seemingly can't get enough of Google's special eyewear, and it's easy to understand why.
Folks over at The Joy of Tech is known for creating all kinds of humorous comic strips based on the current tech topics that are on everyone's mind. We're big fans of the series, and everyone loves a good comic strip, right?
In case you've been living in a cave for the past 24 hours, you will almost certainly have caught onto the news and announcements from yesterday's big Google I/O developer conference. If you do prefer your surroundings to be of the dark and cold variety, you can catch up on everything and anything you might have missed from the 3+ hour keynote thanks to the live stream, which has just been made available via YouTube.
It may have been conspicuous by its absence at yesterday's keynote, but Google Glass is still the hottest property in personal technology right now. You only have to flick through any social media site and you'll come across someone either wearing Glass, or at the very least, talking about it.
