Google’s version of Snake app involves around you (as a transport vehicle) going around and picking up passengers, which in turn increases your length....

On the homepage of the new, dedicated tab for the World Cup on Google News, you’ll find a clever wheel which you can be swiveled to the group your team resides in.

So as the Walkman turns forty, we decided that the best way to mark its birthday would be to look back at some lesser known facts about it: 1. Before the Walkman was…the TC-D5 The Walkman might have been the first real personal stereo cassette player, but that does not mean that there were no relatively compact cassette devices before it.
