#The Rise Of Open source Hardware So in the summer of 2012 Petrone (then an engineer at a Portland startup) launched a site where flexible matrix boards

#The site has gained also a strong following from hard-core DIY types. Just as Etsy became the go-to marketplace for craft creators Tindie has become the primary hub for hardware aficionados.

We are definitely part of and supportive of the maker movement Petrone says. We fill the hardware side.#

Nothing on the site is patented and the vast majority of sellers have their source code and documentation links available right there on the page Petrone says.

But a precipitous drop in prices#which some attribute to the rise of cell phones which made components cheap#is helping to lower the barrier to open source entry for hardware as are crowdsourcing platforms such as Kickstarter.#

There is so much demand for the open source products sold on the site that the waiting list alone contains nearly half a million dollars worth of orders.

#Google vs The DMV: How To Test A Self-driving car In May 2012 Google's self-driving car underwent a classic American teenage ritual.

It took a driving test at a DMV. The car passed but apparently not without a little lobbying from its parent.

As state officials have monitored the robot car's mileage on public roads Google has lobbied for the car to get different tests

and to report different accident figures than the DMV wants a new series of reports finds.

Turning to the government let Harris sidestep Google's secretive PR machine as he told the Knight Science Journalism Tracker which recently collected his stories.

It's also a look at Google's lobbying the extent of which is maybe unsurprising for a private company but still interesting.

That's where you can see what situations the Google car is good at and in

For the Guardian Harris wrote about how Google has asked regulators to allow the results of computerized driving simulations#to stand in for tests on driving tracks

For Quartz Harris reported on Google's lobbying not to have to report#how often its cars turn over the controls to their human drivers

That's the kind of handover Google doesn't want to have to report. The company also doesn't want to report

#Google news: Rubin leaves; Pichai promoted to#2; and Google invests in Magic Leap Andy Rubin leaves Google;

Sundar Pichai promoted to#2 man at Google; and Google invests in $542 million B funding for Magic Leap.

Andy Rubin the Google executive who was in charge of the company#s robotics group and spearheaded the Android operating system before that resigned fromâ Google

and will start a tech incubator focused on hardware. According to the NY Timesâ Mr. Rubin#s departure is part of a series of recent executive moves that seem to give Mr. Page more room to focus on the company#s longer-term bets#like robotics

#while handing almost allâ the responsibility for Google products to Sundar Pichai a rising star.

 The robotics group will now be led by James Kuffner who has been at the company since 2009 and has worked on self-driving cars a Google spokesman said.

Regarding James Kuffner who replaces Rubinâ The Wall street journal saidandy Rubin former leader of Google#s Android mobile businessâ oversaw a series of robotics acquisitions last year

so his departure comes at a poor time for the company. Â That puts pressure on Kuffner to bring together disparate Google properties like Boston Dynamics and Schaft.#

#Robotics is still a difficult technology to pull off well I think moreso than many or all tech fields#said Michael Wagner a senior commercialization specialist with the National Robotics Engineering Center at Carnegie mellon University.#

#James has the expertise to navigate traps others with less experience may not expect. So I don t think this is a setback at all.#

#Sundar Pichai becomes Google Product Chief. The NY Times said of the promotion: Sundar Pichai is to oversee every major Google product except Youtube.

The move arguably makes Mr. Pichai the second-most powerful person at the company and is intended to give Mr. Page more time to focus on more futuristic projects according to a person with knowledge of the situation.

and Chrome products along with Google Apps like Google docs and Gmail#will now include Research Search Maps the social media network Google Plus along with Commerce.

According to the Financial times the two acquisitions are estimated to have cost Google Deepmind $50 million. The Google-Oxford partnership will cost more.

A substantial contribution to Oxford university is forthcoming to expand Google AI and deep learning capabilities.#

#Google Deepmind has hired all seven founders of these startups with the three professors holding joint appointments at Oxford university where they will continue to spend part of their time#Hassabis notes in his blog post.#
