Google Goggles – Google just released a new app on their Droid phone that takes a step toward augmented reality. When you hold your phone up to something, your display gives you information. The Google Goggles let you take a picture via your phone and then search it via Google.

As you can see, Google wins this week. Thanks for listening and checking out this week’s Cloud Control. We just launched our new website, so stop by and say hello. You’ll be able to find the Cloud Control podcast as a weekly feature in our new blog.

Have a great week and do your best to stay warm.
