Google has begun sending out email to let Wallet users know that as of September 17, they will no long be able to add funds to their Google Wallet prepaid cards. In fact, by October 17, the Google prepaid cards will be discontinued altogether. That gives you a little over a month to either spend the remaining balance you have or request a refund.

Okay, so we’re not talking about the TV show with Heidi Klum, but we are talking about a real-life behind the scenes look at Diane von Furstenberg’s show for New York Fashion Week.

This collaboration was a unique opportunity to demo first-person views of runway life during one of fashion’s most prominent events.

Google has just been awarded a patent on what I can only assume will be a future feature of Android. The new patent expands on Face Unlock, allowing users to set up separate user accounts and access them via Face Unlock. It’s quite brilliant and would allow multiple users to share a single device without their account or preferences being compromised.

NASA’s Curiosity Rover and its recent lunar landing has sparked a whole new era of, well…. curiosity! What better way to indulge that curiosity than with Google’s amazing Nexus 7 tablet?

Semi-good news for anyone living in Germany, Spain, or France. The Google Nexus 7 is now available to you via the Google Play Store and can be had for €199 for the 8GB model and €249 for the 16GB. This is slightly above U.S. pricing, which isn’t uncommon for the European market, but at least they will be able to enjoy a wealth of content and features, as well as Jelly Bean. Unfortunately, Google Music and Google Magazines is still unavailable.
