Happy New Year to all our readers

What a 2013 its been, back in Jan we moved from Tumblr to Blogger, and since then we have moved on from strength to strength.

Having seen many new gadgets arrive from +Kickstarter - +Google Glass getting additional features and gaining momentum plus many other developments in wearable tech. Later this year (2013) we had started to work on our own internal projects, we are working on hosting a +ROCKI party which will happen soon - not to mention a special announcement. 

February we will be in Barcelona for MWC, and of course coverage of the event.

Sometime in Q1 2014 we will be relocating to New York, something we are very excited about. 



Over 8,000 readers a day enjoy this blog and we cant thank you enough, every one of you, keep reading and keep giving us great feedback - we love it.

Happy New Year from everyone at ihaveagadget.com

2013 Year in review giving time back to developers

2013 was a busy year for Google Cloud Platform. Watch this space: each day, a different Googler who works on Cloud Platform will be sharing his or her highlight from the past year.



My highlight this year was bringing App Engine’s managed non-relational storage service, Datastore, to developers everywhere as Google Cloud Datastore. There are many use cases and applications where developers themselves want to manage the compute-side of the equation (lucky for them, we have world class VMs as well). That said, managing large distributed storage is no easy task, often times consuming precious development hours. For me, giving time back to developers by managing the complex aspects of a scalable service and, thus, allowing them to focus on creating amazing user experiences, is definitely a highlight of the year.
