Uh-oh: Google to rebrand Blogger?

Will our beloved Blogger become no more? Probably not, but Recent reports cite that Google may be considering rebranding Blogger to something like Google Blogs or integrating it into Google+. I, for one, am completely against this. Blogger has been around since 1999. It was one of, if not the FIRST blogging website on the web. Tell me what you think in the comments.

UPDATE: Mashable has confirmed that the rebranding is happening.

UPDATE 2: The re-brand has obviously not happened. Google only added tighter integration with Google+.

Next in Tech: The nD game system

The nD. An extremely cheap, open source handheld game system that will be available at the end of 2011 aims to crush the competition in terms of price, portability and much more. The nD is an indie game console that will be priced at about 10 to 20 bucks. It is more powerful than a Nintendo DSi in terms of processor speed at 400MHz. It is much more open than any leading handheld. It runs Linux so anyone can build games for it and adjust the OS as they please. Devs can also brand the device and bundle it with their games loaded on it. This, I think, will be the next popular game console.

New on Blogger: New Dashboard in Draft

Blogger has reviled that Blogger In Draft  now has the new dashboard, editor, and blog reader available to anyone who wants to try it. I am currently on the new dashboard right now and it is beautiful. It is certainly a big step up from the old clunky dash we had to deal with on Blogger. This update to the dashboard is the same update that was revealed to be coming this year by Blogger. This new dash will soon be out of beta and available to all Blogger users in the coming months.
