We all love an ice cream sandwich every now and then. A nice layer of our favorite ice cream flavor, "sandwiched" between two cookies or biscuits. It certainly is a nice and delicious treat, and Google recently previewed their version of ice cream sandwich. Unfortunately, it is not something that you can eat, but if you saw it, you'd be glad that you can't eat it. Goo... Read More

How many of you have heard of this massive multi-player online role-playing game (MMORPG) called World of Warcraft (WoW)? I first heard about this game back when I was in high school.

Many of you are aware of Google Docs as one of the many cloud services available (if you don't, now you know!). Google Docs is a Google service that not only al... Read More
