Today is Star Wars Day!

If you are a Star Wars fan, chances are you are spending today celebrating the awesomeness that is the Star Wars universe. Google wants you to know that they love Star Wars also, or that they want you to at least spend some money in the Play Store. Right now they have quite a few Star Wars based games and books on sale to celebrate “May the Fourth Be With You.” Head to the Play Store and show Google how much you love Star Wars with your wallet.

Google Now Improves

Google Now added two new features, one vital to functionality and one for those of you that misplace your car. Google Now will now store your cards for those times when you lose connectivity, a welcome and sometimes necessary function. The other addition is for all of those times that you misplace 3 tones of steel. Google Now will now show you where you parked your car. A neat little feature for those of us in a new area or those of us that forget where our driveway is.

Sprint Announces “International Connect”
