Google's I/O annual conference is ramping up at San Francisco's Moscone Center. Last year, in the conference keynote, the company took its
biggest-yet dive into hardware when it introduced the Nexus 7 tablet, Google Glass, and the
ill-fated Nexus Q. The secret is out on Glass, of course: this year, there's a pavilion inside the conference center where I'm sure they'll be showing off applications for it. (Quite a few of the people in the endless lines here are wearing their own, too.) Anticipating the announcements at I/O is
practically its own industry, but it's easy to guess that there will be announcements from all the major pots in which Google has its
many thousands of (tapping) fingers. Android, search, Chrome, mapping, and all the
other ways in which the behemoth of Mountain View is watching what you do. You can watch the keynote talk (talks, really) streamed online from the main conference link above, but this story will be updated with highlights of the announcements, as well with stories that readers contribute.
