Ben Reid·January 23, 2015

The wireless carrier game is, particularly in the United States, considered an unfair one as far as many consumers are concerned, with network operators very reluctant to offer more flexible, tailored packages. But according to a new report, Google has signed a deal with Sprint and T-Mobile that will permit the search giant to operate as a carrier, and, one hopes, offer better rates to the consumer.

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.
