Can’t we all just get along?
Perhaps that’s a question that the minds at Google may be pondering. It has recently been reported that the company wants a mistrial in their ongoing legal feud with Oracle. It turns out that Oracle took the search giant to court in regards to them believing that Google violated copyrights related to its Java API package back in 2010. According to CNET, Google’s request was supplemented by a formal proposal to the court asking it to “declare a mistrial” in order to bring in a new court proceeding.

As if we needed to be any more certain of Google taking over the world, the mega company is once again in the news for another awe-inspiring reason. It seems they’ve been working on a self-driving automobile and it has just gotten a license in Nevada. Yes, that’s right. According to Mashable, the state issued the license — but there has to be two people inside the car at all times.

So, you have just launched your new website and everything is looking good. There is one problem though — no traffic! If you are selling a product or service, you cannot expect to make any sales without people visiting your website.
The two ways people try to obtain links are through paid advertisement and non-paid advertisement. Paid advertisement includes things such as banners on the sides of other websites, paying to be a sponsor at an event, being listed in Google AdWords — which, by the way, will allow you to be listed on the side of search results pages, etc. However, there are some cons. One of the problems with this is that it can cost your company/website a lot of money before you see any return. On top of the cost, most of these advertisements are not very effective. How many times have you actually clicked on advertisements on a website? I bet it’s not that often.

Okay, so being fairly new to the world of technology and web hosting, I was equally interested and perplexed when Google unveiled their highly anticipated Google Drive last week. It seemed that practically everyone was going crazy over this new thingamajig. Not that that’s surprising. After all, whenever Google unveils something new, such as Account Activity, businesspersons and nerds alike tend to lose their minds. It’s just something that I’ve noticed.

Video games are a dime a dozen. For every version of Microsoft’s esteemed Xbox, there’s another equally entertaining edition of Sony’s Playstation. For years, video games have been captivating the minds of youngsters and adults alike, and for some individuals, they may just be timeless. After all, Mario and Zelda seem to be aging rather gracefully, don’t they? However, what happens when one of the top video game companies begins to show sign of age and fatigue? It has recently been reported that Nintendo has stated the results of their recently concluding fiscal year…and it ain’t pretty. The company took quite a hit and had their first annual loss of roughly $460 million.
