Gary Marshall: Is there anything on the planet Google doesn't want for dinner?
Techradar - All the latest technology news — In the last few days, Google has announced yet more pies that it's jabbing its giant fingers into: music, turn-by-turn navigation and smart electricity meters. So if you're involved in the music discovery business or the sat-nav business, it's probably a good time to be polishing up your CV. Then again, if you work in any industry whatsoever it's probably a good idea to brush up on your CV. Is there any industry Google doesn't want to be in? In software Google does not just search tools but browsers, mapping programs, 3D modelling, photo editing, voice chat, email and instant messaging.

Halloween? The perfect time to kill some zombies
Techradar - All the latest technology news — This weekend it's Halloween. A time for those of us without children to turn all the lights off and hide under the bed, in case surly teenagers come knocking on our door demanding "treats" with menaces. Yes, it's all very cute when it's six-year-old kids ringing your doorbell, covered in bedsheets wearing fake vampire fangs, but when it's happy-slappy ringtone-downloading hoodie wearers, Halloween can lose some of its sparkle. So here's something you can do this weekend to cheer you up while you're avoiding the trick-or-treaters: see if there's a zombie lurking in your house. I'm not talking about the zombies of 28 Days Later or Shaun of the Dead, but ...
