Cloud Storage is the safest storage ever. Google Drive to arrive with free 5 GB cloud storage.

Google Drive is a cloud servers based online storage service meant for  everyone (hopefully).
Google will launch the service early next month.


The Google Drive will be a downloadable software meant for computers,  smartphones and laptops. Once the user has set it up using Google  Account, all files uploaded can be accessed anywhere through -  http://drive.google.com.
Do note that every new Google service meant for public usage arrives on  invite-only basis and then gets hammered heavily for disseminating the  invites. Google+ or Google Plus is the classic example. Google may limit  the number of invites and people that can sign up initially. So if you  receive early invite to Google Drive, consider yourself lucky.

Apple unveils new 'iPad HD'




Apple execs took the stage at an event in California Wednesday to unveil the third iteration of the company's wildly popular iPad tablet, which features a stunning new high-resolution display that could rival a home television set.
“You all have an HDTV at home, 1080p — an iPad has more pixels. That’s incredible,” said Phil Schiller, senior vice president of worldwide marketing at the unveiling. No other mobile gadget has yet matched that display power, Schiller said.
"We’re going to bring it to the 9.7-inch screen of the iPad. This presents a problem for us though … for the first time an iPad has a higher resolution than even the display behind me,” he said.

Smartphones can increase the risk of vehicle collisions.

  Smartphones can seriously increase the chance of a collision on the roads, according to research by the Institute of Advanced Motorists (IAM).

The organisation found that using a phone or mobile device behind the wheel can slow down driver reaction times more than alcohol and cannabis combined. With smartphones now one of the most popular devices for consumers there can be a tendency for a motorist to update their Facebook or send a text whilst driving.

A survey by the IAM found that eight per cent (3.5 million) of UK motorists admitted to using a smartphone whilst on the road with people aged between 17 and 24 being the worst offenders.

The research found that reaction times were slowed by 37.6 per cent when using a mobile device compared to 15 per cent and 21 per cent when under the influence of alcohol and cannabis respectively.

Simon Best, IAM chief executive, said: "If you're taking your hand off the wheel to use the phone, reading the phone display and thinking about your messages, then you're simply not concentrating on driving."
