NASA Google Map Shows Path of Solar Eclipse
Source: NASAInteractive maps and sites are worth checking out with the solar eclipse nearing.
NASA is using an interactive Google Map to let you see the path of Sunday's annual solar eclipse, which will be viewable for millions of people. NASA also offers a projected time lapse of the eclipse. And if you're in the western U.S., check out the website Shadow and Substance, which shows how the eclipse will look in each state in which it will be visible.
If you're located in the eastern half of the U.S., you'll miss it because of sunset, but anyone west of Wisconsin down to Texas all the way over to southeast Asia can click on the map from NASA and Google to find out exactly when the moon will pass in front of the sun,

Google gets China OK for Motorola deal
NEW YORK (AP) — Authorities in China have approved Google Inc.'s bid to buy phone maker Motorola Mobility, clearing the way for the $12.5 billion deal to close early next week.
But Chinese regulators attached a big condition: That Google's Android operating system for mobile devices remain available to all at no cost for the next five years.
The approval brings the Internet search giant closer to sealing its biggest acquisition ever. Buying Motorola allows Google to expand into manufacturing phones, tablet computers and other consumer devices for the first time. The deal also gives Google access to more than 17,000 Motorola patents.
The Chinese government approved the deal on Saturday, Google spokeswoman Niki Fenwick said. "We look forward to closing the deal," she said.
The deal was announced last August and had received all necessary regulatory approvals except in China,

LG Google TV arrives this month with dual-core chip and passive 3D
Google TV hasn’t exactly skyrocketed to popularity the way Android did after being introduced to the public, but maybe it’s just a matter of someone building a really good device that really shows off the OS. LG thinks their new sets do just that, and they’re excitedly showing off their new Google TV models at Internet Week.
LG will be offering up both 47 and 55-inch screens, both of which will feature LG’s customized interface running atop the Google TV core. The home screen is broken down into pages, with categories including 3D content, frequently used apps, bookmarks, and premium offerings. A dock at the bottom provides quick access to the selections you

Google announced two new tweaks to Gmail this week, including further integration with Google+.
Among other things, the changes bring Google profile photos of your friends and contacts to the top of your in-box under certain circumstances, and in a blog post, Product Manager Itamar Gilad said they were meant to "continue to bring people front and center in Gmail." Gilad spelled out the tweaks:
Quick access to contact details
When you search for an e-mail address [in Gmail], the search results will now show you contact details in addition to that person's [Google] profile photo [if he or she has one] and the e-mails sent from and to them. From here, you can start a chat, callArticle source: http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-57437586-93/google-brings-further-tweaks-to-gmail/
Google clocks biggest giving month
Google — faced with ever-increasing governmental scrutiny of its business and privacy practices — handed out more money last month than any other since it formed six years ago.
In April alone, Google’s political action committee, NetPAC, spread $107,000 in contributions among nearly two-dozen campaign and party committees, according to federal campaign finance records.

The PAC averaged fewer than $44,000 in monthly disbursements during the year’s first three months.
And the increased PAC activity dovetails with Google’s rapidly expanding investments in federal lobbying efforts, with the California-based company posting record expenditures during the year’s first quarter — more than $5 million — and courting former congressional members to join its office in Washington, D.C.
Republicans and Democrats alike benefited from Google’s PAC cash, including the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, National Republican Senatorial Committee and National Republican Congressional Committee,
