AutomateIt, as the name so handily implies, is an automation app for Android. The basic premise is that you have events, such as receiving an SMS or a certain time of day, which are triggers. These triggers then fire off one or more actions, which can start applications, set your phone's volume, and so on. AutomateIt is, basically, a free version of Tasker, but with a much-reduced set of ...

Google has announced a special Chrome event, scheduled for December 7th at 10:30 a.m. PST. Our sister site, Engadget, is guessing this will be the debut of a Google-branded laptop running Chrome OS.

It frustrates me that so many different services have a calendar function, and yet it's still a pain in the ass to make sure that my personal calendar is up to date. More often than not I find myself manually creating events using copy-and-paste, instead of the event being automatically created for me by whatever service I'm using.
