Wavii is already in, and Waze is in the pipeline

After Wavii, Google is on the chase again – and this time after Waze.

The California based company acquired Wavii on 30th April 2013. Mergers and Acquisitions are not anything new to Google as the company gets its hands on just about everything.

This time, Google is after Waze Mobile, an Israeli software company, which is into mobile-route planning software.

The Google-Waze deal is worth about $1.03 billion. Industry sources say Google may finalize the deal any time next week.

Even Facebook was in the race, to acquire Waze. Let us wait and see.

The explorer edition of Google Glasses

Google glass had been making headlines on media, and finally some have their first pair of project glasses.

The explorer edition models cost some $1500. It was time for them to try, what’s so remarkable about Google’s futuristic glasses. Unlike usual spectacles, Google glasses have a digital lens on the right, attached to the frame.

Google feels everyone is right-eye dominant. One may have to cope with the right-sided lens pair (of Glasses) as Google does not have any plans at present for the left-sided pair.

One can take photos with the 5-megapixel camera attached with the Glasses, through the touch-sensitive right arm or voice commands.
