Cool trick for drawing red circles on pictures in Google+.
Just use the Text tool and choose the letter "O"!
Sometimes you want to draw attention to something in a photo. A normal way to do that is to draw a red circle around the object of focus.
After you've posted, click the picture, choose Edit, choose Text, type an uppercase "O" in the box, choose a font, reposition and resize the O, change the color to red and you're good to go.

Apple probably building Linkedin support into iOS 7.
Apple's any-social-network-but-Google+ policy is evident in new revelations that Linkedin support is being built into iOS 7.
The speculation comes from code-based references found in the iOS 7 beta.
That brings iOS support for the biggest, third biggest and fourth biggest social networks with the second biggest conspicuously snubbed.
This is more proof that Apple hates Google more than it loves users.

Microsoft changes Bing autocomplete to say Xbox One is 'amazing.'
If you type "the xbox one is" into Microsoft's Bing search engine, it offers only the following autocomplete: "the xbox one is amazing."
But if you type the same query without the word "the" you get the real result.
Is this a cute easter egg from Microsoft or a shameless and irresponsible abuse of its search data?

LG working on always-on voice command smartphone.
GottaBeMobile says LG will be launch an Android phone that "wakes up" when you speak the right command.
From there, you can use voice commands and the phone will favor certain apps depending on your location. For example, if it detects that you're in a moving car, it will favor voice control of navigation.
GottaBeMobile claims this information came from several of their sources.
LG announced last year that an English-language version of it's Siri alternative virtual assistant software, called Q Voice, would come available in the first half of this year, which ends in two weeks.
It's interesting to note also that LG is the company that manufactures the Google Nexus.
