Google Engineer Accidentally Posts Rant About Google+

First iPhone 4S Reviews Are Mostly Thumbs Up
The early reviews for Apple’s iPhone 4S are in and, as expected, reviewers — who had anticipated an iPhone 5 — are tempered in their praise. Still, they give the model points for its 8-megapixel camera, speed and the Siri voice-recognition feature.

Here’s how a typical press interview with Steve Jobs used to go in the early 2000s. You wouldn’t be immediately ushered into his presence; you would be passed from PR person to PR person, corridor to corridor, waiting at each step, until you reached the inner sanctum.

Catering to the needs of users who want a powerful Android device without a costly monthly contract, Samsung has launched Galaxy WiFi 3.6. It’s an Android device similar to a smartphone but without a SIM card, and thus without the ability to make calls.
If you’re wondering who would want such a thing, just think of Apple‘s iPod touch. A simple (“dumb,” as these devices are often called...
