The Worst Thing About Facebook Comes To Google: Birthday Reminders

I was thinking about covering the launch of Google Birthday reminders, (which actually debuted Tuesday, sorry), but I decided instead to just post some pictures of what Google looks like these days.

What Microsoft really needs right now more than anything else, though, is applications that can showcase the power of the new Windows 8 user interface.
