Google scientists are laboring away on futuristic projects in a top-secret lab somewhere in the San Francisco Bay Area, The New York Times claims. This lab, which is apparently so hush-hush that few Googlers even knew it existed prior to the report, is allegedly called "Google X."

If a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down, as Mary Poppins once sagely said, will a splash of Mint help users swallow GNOME 3? That, indeed, appears to be the question of the day now that the Linux Mint project has announced a hybrid desktop strategy for Linux Mint 12 that's apparently designed to help ease users into the controversial new interface.

The current generation of smartphones is a bit of a kludge. They require a lot of text entry, but most don't have keyboards. As a result, they generally suck at it. Siri, Apple's new voice-command technology, points the way to a future that is more like the past, where phones are good at what phones have always been good at -- voice -- and typing may become, at least on smartphones, a thing of the past.

Accidently emptied trash bin on Mac OS X? Mistakenly deleted files using “Command+Del”? Is it possible to recover files that were deleted from trash bin?

And the space occupied by the deleted files can be taken by other files. Therefore, it is possible to recover deleted files from trash. When you realize the files were deleted, you had better not write new data to Mac OS X. The earlier you try to recover trash files, the greater chance to get back deleted Mac files. Otherwise, the space may be overwritten by other new files as time go…
