(Reuters) - Google staged four discussions expounding on the finer points of its "Glass" wearable computer during this week's developer conference.

The Party on my Facebook Page

May 18, 2013 By Staff Leave a Comment

An ACLU post argues that Facebook flattens our in-born privacy intuitions. In real life, we keep our networks separate, we share wild stuff with the college pals and tamer stuff with a work audience. You can designate different audiences on Facebook, but the post suggests many do not. I see the point, but I have also had the delightful experience of people from my different networks intersecting on my page. My military neighbor debates my privacy friends, my NY political pal helps out a … [Read more...]

At Google I/O, developer services hogged the spotlight

May 18, 2013 By Staff Leave a Comment

Forget Glass, self-driving cars or a smartwatch. Developers, not physical consumer products, were Google's darlings at the company's annual I/O conference this week. Google brands I/O as a conference for developers, and this year, with a range of new tools unveiled to attract more outside developers -- and boost the revenue from their services -- the company sought to deliver the goods to I/O's intended audience.
