Google Microsoft Tech 
With today's launch of Google Buzz, Microsoft and Yahoo are now releasing press releases saying how wrong Google is for launching the new service. Yahoo has to realize their product isn't going to catch on. Google is going to blow them away like they already have with all of their other services. The same goes for Microsoft/Hotmail. Buzz is going to be a better product no matter what.

The Apple Store was down moments ago and a notice has been placed on the site saying: "We are busy updating the store for you and will be back shortly." Speculations of what new products the California-based tech juggernaut will come up today began spreading like wild fire on Twitter, with Apple fans craving for the a refreshed MacBook Pro that comes equipped with Intel's new chips (i5 or i7) or an pre-order of the iPad.
To many of the Apple fanboys and fangirls' dismay, there hasn't been any much changes on the Apple Store, except for just one new product -- Aperture 3, touted as "the next major release of its powerful photo editing and management software".

Launched two months ago, Google's "Search Stories" YouTube channel aims to relate people's stories through only their Google Searches. One of the most popular commercials -- "Persian Love", which features an American finding love in Paris, has garnered over 2.7 million views. However, the folks over at Google have apparently removed a rather sensitive racial phrase from its search suggestion list while filming the video. If you bother looking at the "High School" video close enough, you would notice that the "making friends with black people" option has been gotten rid of between the 8 and 9 second. On the other hand, it was listed as one of the search suggestions on Google.com. By the way, is there anything wrong with making friends with black people? I personally don't think so but Google thinks otherwise. Maybe they just don't want people to get the wrong impression.

Are you guilty of downloading pirated songs, movies or games, which result in software companies and the music industry to lose billions of dollars annually? Or are you the one who advocate P2P file sharing by uploading copyrighted material to the internet? Hopefully, you fall in neither of these two groups.
The Federal Court of Australia has ordered a Queensland man to pay a massive fine of A$1.5 million (US$1.3 million) in damages to Nintendo, and to cover the company's legal fees after he was found guilty of illegal copying and dissemination of a pre-release version of Super Mario Bros Wii to the Wii hack site www.yafaze.com in late 2009, which has since been shut down. The Japanese game console company issued the statement today and said the damages would compensate for the loss of revenue caused by his actions.
Jame Burt, a 24-year-old manager working at games retailer Electronics Boutique in a store in Brisbane since 2004, admitted that he had illegally copied and uploaded the popular game title on November 6th, a week before the game’s official Australian release.

Many of the top social media news websites have gotten invites to Google for tomorrow's unveiling of a new feature. The Wall Street Journal reports that Google will release a new feature to Gmail allowing you to update your status like Twitter and Facebook.
Currently you can only update your status on Gchat, and it acts like an "away message". The new feature will probably work over multiple platforms including Gmail, Picasa, and Youtube.

Technology has changed expeditiously over the years, and it advances with a geometric progression rather an arithmetical one. In today's world, the still propagating internet is the preferred medium among young people when it comes to the acquisition of news and information, ahead of newspapers and television. As the internet begins to extirpate the traditional media, young people have also established a strong affinity with the World Wide Web, treating it as a virtuoso who knows everything.
Undoubtedly, they would head over to the internet to source for information for their projects or to expand their knowledge since it carries a vast array of information resources. As the use of internet proliferates, so does the amount of information available. From its origin in 1991, the web has grown to encompass a variety of information sources -- electronic journals, pre-prints, educational materials, you name it all.

The Supposed Google Super Bowl Ad (UPDATE)
I am not really in to watching football. It is a great sport and all, but I can't sit through a whole game. I watch the Super Bowl for the hilarious advertisements. This year Google is going to have an advertisement in the third quarter of the game. Engadget has gotten word on which advertisement it might be.

Technology has changed expeditiously over the years, and it advances with a geometric progression rather than an arithmetical one. Every technology product we use daily is getting smaller and smarter each day, and probably this tiny handheld printer you see above could be the next must-have gadget in the next few years if it were to be brought to reality. Designed by Jihun Kang, Youngho Lee, Jieun Lee & Changsu Lee, the Stick POP is a portable printer concept enables us to print our documents anywhere and anytime.
Measuring 23 cm by 6 cm (9 inch by 2 inch), this portable printer could easily fit well in your bag. It comes with an OLED display interface that is free of surrounding environments such as water and dust, and can even and show the exact measurements in any situations. Since the Stick POP is meant to be portable, it uses batteries to power the printer and users need not to charge it with an external electrical source. To print, simply hook it up to your computer or other exterior devices via USB.

Bennett from F.A.T was outraged by the late arrival of his iMac, which reached his door step a month later than he had expected it to be. To show his displeasure, he created a rather anomalous and "explicit" video of the unboxing of his iMac. Honestly speaking, this is probably one of the funniest and best unboxing I have ever seen! You have made my day, Bennett!

AT&T Mobile iPhone 
Ever since the iPhone/iPod application store has been in existence, Apple and AT&T have had issues with approving voip and streaming applications. Until just a few months ago voip applications weren't accepted, now it's the SlingBox's turn. A Sling Box allows you to watch your DVR/cable box from your laptop using a peice of hardware and software. It is very easy to setup and use. Sling was always missing one thing, an iPhone application that works over 3G. AT&T allows it to run over 3G on their Blackberry and Windows Mobile devices, buy why not the iPhone's? Maybe because of the track-record of people using so much bandwidth on AT&T.

A young technology blogger from India named Shivendu Madhava has claimed that he received an email asking his PayPal login details. As he clicked on the link, he was directed to a website similar to the original PayPal site, but the only difference is the URL. Instead of the usual PayPal.com, it was http://206.225.19.16/www.paypal.com/ (it has been reported as a "phishing" site on my Google Chrome). Fortunately, he promptly found out that it was actually a fraudulent email, and tried entering a random email address and password into the login fields. He was then asked to type in his credit card number.
