Google Wallet


How many times has your wallet fallen out of your back pocket? Or your wallet has disappeared in the abyss of your purse? Google has brought a solution to your carelessness. Take the Google technology and unite it with your bulging wallet, and you get fast secure way to use your credit carts.

How it works?
Google wallet takes participating credit cards and merges it with an app on your phone. Instead of pulling out your wallet and carrying around multiple credit cards you can just carry your phone around to make payments. Your phone becomes the credit card and it has a tap and go feature, similar to what many credit cards have now.

Google will not make a service that will make you more vulnerable to Identity theft or harm, this new service is highly secure to use, perhaps even more so than your physical credit cards. The creators of this service give a 2 minute explanation as to how this works.





For more information on this service, visit Google's official blog on Google Wallet.

Holiday Shopping Part 1: Chromebook

Tiss' the season for families and friends to get together and share fellowship over a delicious meal. A season for milk, cookies and a fireplace. A season for the whole family to part take in the decorations of Christmas lighting. And last but not least, a season for complete chaotic holiday shopping!

The good news is that holiday shopping does not have to be complete chaos. Google has great options for your holiday shopping. Take a look at the Google Chromebook:



I absolutely enjoy using the Google Chromebook. Its fast, efficient and always online. I never have to wait for it to boot up and it is always ready for me to use. Its perfect for me because I am a web-head. I spent a majority of my time surfing the web and watching videos. Since the Chromebook is updated with realtime I can stay on top of news, work, social media, products, services and so much more. Although the Chromebook may not be the best for business management because they require specific software to be installed, it meets my needs. I can go to Google Documents and write a paper, work on a spreadsheet, set up a power point and its all saved online so I do not have to use a hardrive. Google has such a wide range of online service, using the Chromebook is actually ideal for me and could be for you or someone you know.

You are probably wondering what the cost is for a Chromebook. Well Google has been working with its partners to make it more affordable for you an I to have access to one. The Acer and Samsung Chromebooks are available for $299 starting this week with their online partners. That's a pretty good deal if you ask me.

You can also test run the Chromebook when you fly with Virgin America. Only selected airports have Chromebooks for costumers to check out, here is the link.

You may have questions concerning the Chromebook, you can leave a comment or refer to the Chromebook FAQ's, Remember I am not an official employee of Google, I am simply a consumer like you and I love Google.
