On the second day of the Google I/O event (click the link for first-day coverage), we sat in a huge room full of Google developers, during which time some of the key members of the Google Glass team held a Fireside Chat. Most of the developers were sporting their own pairs of Google Glass, and we confess that as TRON-dorky as they may have all looked we were a bit jealous not to have our own pair in hand and looking, well…TRON-dorky along with the rest of them. With over 6,000 developers on hand, along with a fairly sizable contingent of media, anticipation among all of us attending Google I/O 2013 was for updates on Google Glass, news of the Motorola X Phone (supposedly the next Nexus phone), a Spotify competitor, another Google TV iteration, details on Android Key Lime Pie, a smart watch, and then "the rest of the stuff" one would expect to hear about.

First there was "same day as DVD," then there was "same day as cinema," now there's a "before theater" option for movie lovers that want to see a short list of non-blockbuster, relatively low-budget titles by renting them from Comcast Corp.'s video-on-demand (VoD) library. The promising but controversial field of cloning was advanced by researchers in Oregon after they converted human skin cells into embryonic stem cells. Researchers did not create a human clone - but the advancement could reignite the controversy surrounding the ethics of cloning. cMEcompete, a social platform for endurance events such as triathlons, marathons or bike races, has become the first platform to issue equity through online crowdfunding to non-accredited investors.
