Blog Focus on New Google Toys and Gadgets
Blog Focus is Technorati's daily roundup of the top stories as told by the bloggers of the world. Each day a handful of posts, no matter how popular or nascent, will be selected by editors to portray a general unscientific reaction to discussion points around the 'Net.
Google offers new toys, a new Internet video box for your television gets peeked at, tempting tablets with legal baggage, and delicious junk from the intellectual property lawyers at LucasFilm. Sometimes the blogs are all about conspicuous consumption. On those days, the blogs are awesome.
