Predictably named iPavement puts hotspots into the sidewalk
We know what it's like to be in a foreign country without a mobile internet connection. Although there are domestic options making it easier to connect our devices abroad, Spanish company iPavement wants to help confused tourists (and their confused devices) by seamlessly integrating hotspots into tiles -- which are seamlessly integrated into the ground. It's unclear whether users will have open access to the entire world wide web, or only controlled info about the city, but the service is at least free to use. The 24kg (53lb) tiles are slightly larger than normal, installed a maximum of 20 meters (66 feet) from one another and only work at temperatures between -10 - 45 degrees Celsius (14 - 113 degrees Fahrenheit). Touristy cloud apps like maps, coupons, and traffic updates in various languages are also a part of the deal, and you would look like less of a tourist without that huge guide to Madrid. Just lose the fanny pack and you'll be set.

Sarah Michelle Gellar: Pregnant with Second Child!
A hearty round of congratulations are in order for Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr.: the couple is expecting its second child!
"She and Freddie are thrilled," a friend of Gellar and Prinze tells Us Weekly. "They're amazing parents."
The famous twosome met while filming the classic 1997 thriller I Know What You Did Last Summer, but didn't start dating until three years later. They then married in September 2002 and welcomed daughter Charlotte Grace in September 2009.
The news of Gellar's pregnancy arrives just as The CW is figuring out the fate of her latest series, Ringer - and let's just say the beautiful mother will likely have a lot of free time ahead of her to spend with a new baby.

Dropbox adds automatic photo uploads for Windows and Mac, up to 3GB just for using it
Dropbox isn't short of aficionados, but it's undoubtedly lost some of its gleam since Google drove the cloud war into a frenzy. In response, Dropbox's devs have been at the squat rack pumping up their multimedia credentials, recently adding auto photo and video uploads to their Android app and now extending that feature to any camera, tablet, smartphone or SD card via the Mac or Windows utility -- an add-on that was previously beta-only. Access the web interface and you'll see your stills arranged in a handy new Photos page, which displays them as large thumbnails bunched together by month. There's a blunter enticement too: your first auto upload will secure 500MB in extra storage, with subsequent efforts also rewarded up to 3GB. Perhaps that cardboard isn't looking so soggy after all.

Panasonic teams up with NHK on 145-inch 8K Super Hi-Vision plasma TV
We thought the 8K 85-inch Super Hi-Vision LCD we saw during CES was impressive, but Japanese broadcaster NHK is already looking to surpass that by going even bigger. To that end it worked with Panasonic (above: that's Panasonic's Keishi Kubota on the left, Yoshio Ito of NHK on the right) to create this 145-inch prototype plasma, unveiled today as an example of the kind of displays we can expect to see once broadcasts jump to the higher resolution some day. The world's first self-illuminating Super Hi-Vision TV, it features every pixel of its expected 8K resolution -- 7,680 x 4,320. After working for months on smaller (only 85- or 103-inch) 4K plasmas, the two companies had to come up with an entirely new drive method for the display that works by scanning the pixels vertically to achieve a uniform picture quality. The NHK plans to show off the new display at its open house in May, although we're a bit more interested to see if we can watch the Olympics on it this summer. Check the gallery below for a few more pictures from DigInfo.TV's Don Kennedy, or hit the more coverage link for a breakdown of the difficulties encountered in building a high resolution display that's this massive.

Mac Miller Shows Growth In Sold-Out New York Concert
'Now we got all the extra stuff. It's a different kind of show,' MC says of Macadelic tour on 'RapFix Live.'

If Mac Miller's Macadelic mixtape is all about growth, then his new and improved stage show is the visual representation of that.
It's hard to imagine that Mac's live show could have gotten that much better in the three short months between his Blue Slide Park run and his current Macadelic tour, but the 20-year-old Pittsburgh MC continues to master the stage, as he proved Wednesday night during his sold-out gig at New York City's Roseland Ballroom.
Visually, Mac's new trippy set design is a step up from the playground theme he used when he was on the road promoting BSP. "It's cool, man, it's a different type of thing. We were used to doing like the DJ, me and the hypeman and then that's it and the homeys," Mac said when he appeared on "RapFix Live" only hours before he took the stage. "Now we got all the extra stuff. We got like the cool visuals. It's a different kind of show."
For starters, there was a five-panel video screen that hovered above the stage displaying customized montages for each of the songs that Mac performed. There were colorful LCD lights, raised platforms and a gang of illuminated faux mushrooms on the stage. Miller didn't reveal all of the props all at once; instead, he pulled back the layers to his set design slowly as the hour-long show progressed.
It was just after 9:30 p.m. when DJ Clockwork jumped on the turntables playing "English Lane," the opening track to Mac's #1 debut album. Immediately afterward, the star rapper and his hypeman TreeJay stormed out onstage rapping along to "Blue Slide Park." Miller started out strong, throwing out his club-hopping anthem "Party on Fifth Ave." rather early before stopping to address the spirited crowd.
"New York City, what the f--- is good?" he shouted as the young concertgoers screamed ferociously for their rap hero. "My name is Mac Miller and I appreciate y'all coming out."
It was September 2010 when a then wet-behind-the-ears Mac performed his first show in NYC at the intimate SOB's, but on Wednesday night he returned a much different MC. Still, the Most Dope General didn't forget what got him here, so he ran through several songs from his 2010 K.I.D.S. mixtape, including "Don't Mind if I Do," "The Spins" and "Kool-Aid & Frozen Pizza." After he bounced around to the rambunctious "Knock Knock," the stage lights went low and the psychedelic mushroom props started to glow as the Mac emerged from the dark, spitting "Loud."
Since 2011 the energetic performer has rocked more than 200 shows, and while he made sure to roll out all of his fan favorites, he was clearly excited to put his new material on display. He slowed things down for the soul-searching "Thoughts From a Balcony," "Angels" and "F--- 'Em All" but picked things right up for his set-closing "Donald Trump." While rapping the words to his gold-selling single, Miller played to the crowd, encouraging a full-throated sing-along.
On the song's hook, Mac promises to "take over the world," yeah, one concert venue at a time.

Google bringing extra bytes to Hawkeye State with $300 million data center
You're a multinational search company that has just rolled out a new cloud storage offering. You've also just given your millions and millions of email users an extra 2.5GB of storage, free of charge. What do you do next? Build another data center. The big G has announced its intentions to raise a $300 million information barn in Council Bluffs, Iowa. Construction on a 1,000 acre plot will begin immediately and, for its efforts, the Search Sultan will be gifted with a handful of tax incentives totaling over $9 million. Google is no stranger to the mean streets (we're not sure if they're actually mean) of Council Bluffs, though, as the company already operates a $600 million data facility within that city's limits. For those of you keeping track at home, that's a $900 million stimulus for the Hawkeye State.

Google+ Share button gives you another option aside from plain 'ol +1s
Although Google's had its +1 button all over the web for some time now, helping folks show their allegiance to things they like, it's previously lacked a dedicated button just for sharing content. That's now changed, as the Google+ development team recently let loose the Share button. The button is similar in appearance to its +1 sibling, but rather than just being a shortcut for quickly slapping content with a virtual high-five, it gives you a way to easily share pages on your Google+ profile. (Yes, you could share through the +1 button, too, but consider this one a bit more focused). Best of all, the Google+ Share button is ready to roll, so move your cursor to the source link below if you'd like to put it on your site or find out more. Happy Liking sharing!
