Google Changes the Way Its Search Engine Works, Privacy Be Damned
Like UnlikeFiled in: Google
Google's great at finding pretty much anything on the Web—no matter how obscure—but has generally lacked social content thanks to itsongoing standoff with Facebook. But, according to the search giant today, the "most radical transformation ever" has just occurred to its search engine. But maybe not in the good way.
Google dubbed this metamorphosis, "Search, Plus Your World." It integrates Google+ content directly into search results in three ways. First, it now provides "Personal Results" which include media—photos, blog posts, etc—that have been privately shared with you as well as your own stuff. Any images you've set to share using Picasa will also be displayed. Second, Google Search will...

Like UnlikeFiled in: Game ConsolesSonyPlaystation 3 Slim
Sony exec Kazuo Hirai has once again said that the PlayStation 3 game console would live out its projected 10-year lifespan, staying on store shelves for another 5 years.

Although not confirmed, it also doesn’t necessarily mean that the company would wait another five years to introduce the PlayStation 4. Recent reports suggest that Sony could do something similar to Nintendo, which plans to release th...
