Google Map in MapGL
Recently, I found Google Map released MapGL Beta Version. I tried that. It does not looks any different from the classic mode. But when I changes the zoom level, that is smoother and some tweening effect too. That sounds cool. I started to use this mode as the default.

Will Cable TV be phased out soon?!
Cable TV provides a lot of good movies and tv series. But now, we can rent movie and tv series in iTunes and Google Play. Moreover, we can play in our TV via Apple TV or Nexus Q. We play it when we want to watch watch. That sounds more convenient than Cable TV. In addition, we only pay what we need. That may be cheaper than the subscription of Cable TV. Then why do you still need to have Cable TV.
Free SVN Service in the cloud
I have a start up company. I have not much resources and I need to travel sometime. Thus, I need a SVN server in the cloud. Even I am traveling, I still can commit the code to the source control. I need to do the development everywhere. I found a Cloud Source Control Provider, CloudForge. They supports GIT and SVN. Moreover, the first user is free. That sounds suitable for me.
Nexus Q is announced
Besides of Nexus 7, in Google I/O, they announced Nexus Q. That is a kind of entertainment center. It can connect to TV and speakers. It sounds like an Apple TV killer! Well, that has more functions! It can controlled by your Android phone and Tablet. In addition, it can do social streaming. It's cool!
Moreover, I love that sounds quite creative. It is not in a box, Google turns its new product into a Sphere! It looks fresh!
But that is a bit sad, it only can be pre-ordered in U.S. for $299.
