In a bit of a shocker, Eric Schmidt announced today that he would be stepping down from his CEO role at Google. Why would someone at the helm of such a super power decide to step down? Simple, Larry and Sergei have grown up and are ready to lead Google. The company is as strong [...]

I’ve been playing with this surprisingly fast Android tablet for about a week now and so far I am impressed.
