Google integrating Goals feature in Calendar starting today

Google is expanding the functionality of their Calendar App by adding a new Goals feature on mobile. According to Google, "Goals is a tool that makes it easier to find the time to do the things that really matter to you.  Whether it’s running, practicing yoga or learning a new language—you can now add a personal goal—like “run 3 times a week”—and Calendar will help you find the time and stick to it."

To set a goal (like “Work out more”), simply answer a few questions (like “How often?” and “Best time?”), and you’re all set. From there Calendar will look at your schedule and find the best windows to pencil in time for that goal.

Calendar can help you adjust in a number of important ways. For example, Calendar will automatically reschedule if you add another event that's a direct conflict with a goal. You can also can defer a goal at any time, and Calendar will make time for it later.To get started, download the Google Calendar app for Android or iPhone, and set your first goal.

Microsoft goes fashion forward with new Signature Type Cover

Microsoft watchers know that the word Signature is assigned only to devices and products that have Redmond's wholehearted approval. In the past, this meant PCs, tablets and 2-in-1s which run bloatware-free versions of WIndows and that offer a unique value in terms of features and design.

It seems the Signature series is evolving to accessories as well with the new Signature Type Cover, which blends high-technology and fashion into one intriguing and exciting new Type Cover for the Surface Pro 3 and Surface Pro 4 lines. Made from a luxurious fabric called Alcantara, the Type Cover costs more than your run of the mill Type Cover but stands out in terms of look and feel for those who pay attention to these sort of things.

Alcanatar apparently, "ages beautifully, growing richer and darker over time, and is wonderfully soft to touch," the company added. That speckled gray color "pairs perfectly" with your Surface device.
