Google Is Working On Its Own Uber-Like Service

Ben Reid·February 3, 2015

Uber, the taxi company built for the Digital Age, has seen tremendous growth in the past few years, and despite a fair amount of opposition - no less from disgruntled preexisting taxi firms - continues to expand its reach and range of services. But while everything seems to be plodding along relatively smoothly just now, a new report suggests that the dark, shadowy and imposing figure of Google may be lurking in the background, and despite the Big G having pumped major investment into Uber over the past 18 months or so, could now be looking to build a directly-competing service.

Google Unveils The Full And Final Version Of its Driverless Car [Photo]

Google has been working on its driverless cars for quite some time now and if you happen to have been on the right street in California at the right time then you might have even seen one of the prototypes doing the rounds. If you'd looked really closely you would have spotted a rather ashen-faced human babysitting it, too. But the worst kept secret of it all was that Google didn't have any fully automated cars to call its own. That's now changed, with Google producing a prototype that has all the usual functionality that you might expect from an automobile. That means it starts, stops and turns corners, then. It's the stopping part we're most interested in at this point though, if we're totally honest!

Bing And Yahoo Vying For iOS Mobile Safari’s Default Search Provider Spot

Aatif·November 26, 2014

Google and Apple's partnership has been a shaky one at best, especially when it comes to iOS devices. Earlier on, Apple dropped Google Maps integration from iOS as the default maps and navigation app for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch in favor of its own Maps app, and YouTube was pulled from the list of stock apps as well, forcing Google to make both of these apps user-downloadable ones from the App Store. Now, it seems, that the default search provider for iOS Safari browser is up for grabs as well, as Google's contract is close to termination, and sources say that Bing and Yahoo! are both vying for the top spot.

Ben Reid·November 1, 2014

Apple likes to build things that just work, requiring as little intervention as possible on the part of the user, and AirDrop, the company's local file-transfer service, typifies this notion.
