Google Integrates 70 Services
In Google official Blog they said that they will be integrating the privacy policies of all the 70 services they are offering into a singe policy . This means that if you even signed up to a single Google service you will be automatically signed up to remaining 69 services. Recently they also made it mandatory for all the new Gmail registrations to have a Google + account. Also they have recently rolled out a new search called Google Search Plus which integrates Google + results into the search results which are obviously biased. They are also combining the data from all the services thus hoping to give a more "personalized" feel to their services. Why such hasty decisions ? To defeat Facebook.

Android is the latest buzz word in the mobile industry . It is the only competitor to iOs . Android got the industry excited but still it hasn’t got the numbers to seriously affect iOs devices . This is going to change definitely in the coming year.
