Android Device Manager is now available in Google Search for desktop. If you search for [find my phone] or [find my tablet] and you're logged in to your Google account, you can see a map that shows the most recent location of your Android phone or tablet. If you have more than one Android device, there's a dropdown that lets you select other phones and tablets connected to your account.

The location is not displayed instantly, so you may see the message: "locating your phone" for a few seconds. Obviously, your phone or tablet needs to have a working Internet connection, location needs to be enabled and the setting: "remotely locate this device" has to be enabled in Google Settings / Security.

If your Android device is nearby, you can also click "ring" to quickly find it. "Your phone will ring at full volume for 5 minutes. Press its power button to stop the ringing."

Click the map from Google Search to open Android Device Manager and use other features that let you lock your device and erase all your data.

I like the fact that the artist included all of the original fighters from Street Fighter II: The World Warrior.

How would you like a fresh Google app to help you over this Wednesday hump?

Google Handwriting Input just launched in the Play Store, giving us another Google-made keyboard to try out. As its name suggests, Google Handwriting Input will let you write words and emojis with or without a stylus, and then the app will interpret what you’ve written and insert it into a text field. Google says that the app supports 82 languages, print and cursive, and “hundreds” of emojis.

Google’s new keyboard is compatible with Android 4.0.3 or higher, including both phones and tablets. In my time with the app, it seemed to recognize my print and cursive writing pretty well, even when I intentionally made it pretty sloppy. And if you’re trying to come up with the perfect emoji, you can just draw it out and let Google try to guess what you’re feeling.

You can grab Google Handwriting Input from the link below.

Here you are in a Ward Council that has lasted 15 minutes longer than it should have.

This app helps you find and cheer up the saddest people on Twitter

Google has announced a new program called Designed for Families, which allows an app to receive a special designation as being family-friendly. With the influx of technology into children’s lives, many parents are looking to utilize the abilities while still maintaining a safe, secure environment for their children. As such, many parents tend to be overly cautious with what apps they let their children use, due to the unknowns.

Designed for Families aims to change that. With developers like Crayola and PBS carefully designing apps to be family-friendly, Google wants to help people know that they can safely use these apps for their children. The program will allow developers to submit their app for review by Google, and if it passes the review, it will receive the Designed for Families certification, giving it a badge of approval and a spot in a special section of the Play Store that will curate family-friendly apps.

It’s good to see Google working to make Android more child-friendly. As the largest mobile OS in the world, Android has a unique position, and has massive potential in education and child development. With the Designed for Families program, it’s going to be much easier to see what’s good for your child and what’s not.

The truth about ash age
Sephko Comics

Putsch Racing calls their Steampunk attack bike the Aristo-cad. I think that's a great name. Very cool. Very fitting. And even if I thought otherwise I'd keep my fat mouth shut because this motorcycle also happens to be pimped out with fully functional* Browning .30 cal machine guns and ammo chains, plus a pair of brass-handled English fighting daggers mounted on the fuel cap. So say hello to the Aristo-cad...and its little friends.

And that's just the most obvious apocalyptical treatment Putsch has given its Aristo-cad. Look closer and you'll also see a mounted WWI-era gun sight lifted from a Sopwith Camel biplane, and a chronometric tachometer reading off engine revs. Should the steampunk vigilante riding the bike wish to know when it's striking time, a hunter-cased pocket watch opens to reveal an early 20th century porcelain face from Tiffany & Co. Additional details include an English number plate, machine-turned mechanical oil pressure gauge, and hand-aged leather seat and tool bag.

Functionally, the Aristo-cad incorporates a Triumph engine to remain street driveable (albeit questionably street-legal), and is tuned with a high mount racing exhaust and brass screen protected airflow though aluminum intake trumpets.

*Yep, use them if you feel obliged, though they'll fire only blanks. Operation is via an on-board system of compressed oxygen and propane, controlled by computer through electronic solenoids, and ignited in a combustion chamber at the same cadence of actual fire.

Putsch Racing is willing and ready to sell the Aristo-cad steampunk attack beast. Price is available upon application.

One of my favorite parts of Optipress' news comics is reading what is actually written in the articles. Here's the first panel:

CERN Reveals: Large Hadron Collider Confirms Existence of Infinite Universes

- We are extremely excited about the possibilities of these infinite worlds, says CERN spokesperson.

- Just imagine, we will finally be able to experience every single possible outcome of human endeavor. CERN hopes to unveil the next game in the Half-Life series.

And here's the third panel:

CERN Confirms: Zero Universes Exist Where Half-Life 3 has Been Released

- We are extremely disappointed to announce these grave new findings, according to CERN spokesperson today in a somber press gathering.

- Even though the CERN scientists have discovered an entire universe consisting of nothing by video games consoles, the elusive third chapter in the Half-Life series was nowhere to be found.

- CERN considers shutting down the project.

- CERN funding has been reduced drastically.

Apparently CERN was not aware of the Official Valve Software Production Flowchart.

People around here seem to love knives and multi-tools. Multi-tools in particular are, like, the new bacon. Before, for at least a year, when I posted anything about bacon clicking fingers went hog wild (see: tactical bacon, bacon condoms). But people don't oink for the bacon novelties so much anymore. Now they drink the Kool-Aid of multi-tools (see: Leatherman Tread, KeyBiner). I imagine these too will run their course in the near future, but I doubt the Kniper is going to be he first to feel the effects of a saturated market. Because while Kniper is a multi-tool it, unlike most others, is also a 13" long x 2-1/2" wide throwing knife. And even more unlike most others, part of Kniper's 22-function multi-toolness includes a built-in "tobacco" pipe. For smoking "tobacco". Take a throw, take a toke, take a throw, take a....

Hmmm, sounds like a Darwin Award waiting to happen.

Also sounds like why I want one.

Kniper was designed first and primarily as a throwing knife. It is milled from a single piece of 420 high-carbon stainless steel, with weight distribution, metal composition, and shape all contributing to the knife's smooth flight and balls-on accuracy. Some of its 22 additional capabilities include: range finder; nail remover; saw; wire stripping pry bar; fork; bottle opener; screwdriver; and ruler. At printing, Kniper was available for pre-order, with the initial production run shipping in June 2015.

Jared Leto’s Joker transformation continues.

Suicide Squad director David Ayer recently tweeted a picture of the cast at a read through, but many people noticed that Jared Leto was nowhere to be seen.

Ayer’s responded with a tweet that answered the question with a little joke. Actually, it’s more like a Killing Joke.

Check out both of Ayer’s tweets after the break.

These girls are awesome.

I don't know what's so Walking Dead about this one-man 72-hour survival kit, except that it's "officially licensed" and says, "AMC The Walking Dead" on its messenger bag content carrier. Maybe Darryl and Rick bled on it a little too. In any case, according to whomever makes and profits from the show's gear and replicas, the kit comes in answer to the requests of rabid fans hoping to steer clear of rabid zombies when the time comes. It includes:

• 2 x Datrex 2400 Calorie Emergency Food Bars. Stay fresh for up to 5 years.
• 6 x Datrex 4.22 oz packs of Emergency Water. Stay fresh for up to 5 years.
• 1 x Lifeline Premuim 30 Piece First Aid Kit.
• 1 x 5-1 Survival Whistle with Flint, Mirror, Compass, Storage Case & Emergency Whistle.
• 1 x LifeGear Glow LED Flashlight. Lasts up to 400 hours.
• 1 x Cyalume 12 Hour Glow Sticks.
• 1 x Emergency Mylar Space Blankets to keep you warm in severe cold.
• 1 x Emergency Ponchos for Moderate to Severe Weather.
• 1 x The Walking Dead Survival Kit "WERE SURVIVORS" patch.
