Bram Stoker books today’s Dracula Google Doodle




Today if you visit the Google Homepage you will be greeted with the 165th Birthday Google Doodle of Bram Stoker.  If you do not know who Bram Stoker is you only need to look at the Google Doodle to guess why Google is celebrating his life and legacy today.


Bram Stoker wrote Dracula
Bram Stoker is most famous today for the novel he wrote about Dracula in 1897. He was from Irish descent and was born in Dublin on the 8th of November 1847 and passed away on the 20th of April 1912. This year it is exactly 100 years ago that he passed away and may be another reason why Google selected Bram Stoker to be honored with a Google Doodle.

About Dracula

The first Dracula Novel were published as a hard cover book in 1897 although Bram Stoker did not invent  the vampire, he defined its modern form, and the novel has spawned numerous theatrical, film and television interpretations.
The story of Dracula has been the basis for numerous films and plays. Stoker himself wrote the first theatrical adaptation, which was presented at the Lyceum Theatre under the title Dracula, or The Undead shortly before the novel’s publication and performed only once.
Popular films include Dracula (1931), Dracula (alternative title: The Horror of Dracula) (1958), and Dracula (also known as Bram Stoker’s Dracula) (1992). Dracula was also adapted as Nosferatu (1922), a film directed by the German director F.W. Murnau, without permission from Stoker’s widow; the filmmakers attempted to avoid copyright problems by altering many of the details, including changing the name of the villain to “Count Orlok”.

Although not completely “Dracula” the film series Twilight have taken vampires to the next level. Even the Volvo corporation got involved when Edward drove a Volvo in the series.
Thanks to Bram Stoker and his books, we still have vampires today!

Google Will Soon Launch The Physical Google Wallet Card



Folks over at Android Police have gotten their hands-on some leaked images that look like screenshots of Leaked Google Wallet app. Doesn’t sound any interesting, right? Well, the interesting part is that these leaked images clearly show that Google is working on a physical Wallet card. Yes, you heard it right, a physical Wallet card that can be used as a companion to your Google Wallet app.
The physical Wallet card will work the same way any other credit/debit card does. Once you choose the default credit card to be charged in the Google Wallet app then whenever you’ll use the physical wallet card it will charge to the default card selected. It will be accepted everywhere major credit cards are accepted. Now, if you can’t find a tap and pay point for your Google Wallet app then you can whip-out your Physical card and pay with it. This will make it painless to pay via cards as you don’t have to carry all your cards with you just one Google Wallet card and you can use any card you want or the purchase.
As you can see in the images below, you can have the card shipped directly to your house through the app. Google also recently set-up a sign-up page for something new for Google Wallet, looks like the physical card is coming soon.
This was only the awesome part of the story with the new update Wallet is also getting some new features. The ability to deposit and withdraw money from Google Wallet – Watch out PayPal. All it needs now is the ability to transfer money from account to account.
Looks like Google is trying to make Wallet a big competitor in the mobile payments market but unfortunately there are no words on the availability of this service outside of US. We’ll keep you informed of all the latest news following the Wallet card, till then stay tuned.
