Google reportedly is working on building its own Uber competitor, and while some believe this will come in the form of a fleet of autonomous cars, there is a more immediate option for how Google can position itself more prominently in Uber’s world: by searching and aggregating everything that the wider on-demand transport landscape has to offer. Today, Google announced its navigation app Google Maps will be adding a new car services tab as a complement to its walking, driving and public transp..>> view originalPlayStation VR Will Arrive in October for $399

In the case of African fairy circles, the bare patches act as troughs, storing moisture from rare rainfalls for several months, lasting into the dry season. Tall grasses on the edge of the circles tap into the water with their roots and also suck it up with the help of water diffusion through the sandy soil. Although similar in appearance, Australian fairy circles turn out to behave differently, Dr. Getzin and his colleagues have found. The soil where they form is loamy, not sandy as in Africa,..>> view originalAmazon's pay-by-selfie patent is an authentication model for Microsoft's Store
