Top 10 Tech This Week (03/23/2013)

It was an especially exciting week in tech, with lots of big news coming from all fronts. So who dominated the Top 10 Tech world this week?

Google, a week after announcing the demise of the beloved Google Reader, launched a new note-taking Evernote-like app called Google Keep. The company's most exciting unveiling this week, though, might have been the addition of stunning imagery from the world's tallest mountains.

Amazon took another step in its quest to conquer the tech world, announcing "Send to Kindle" a button that allows readers to save articles to read them later on their Kindle devices.

Meanwhile, to add to the smart watch craze, Samsung confirmed it's working on a smart watch of its own, joining the likes of Apple and LG. Speaking of smart watches, Pebble announced the release of a software developer's kit (SDK) for its immensely popular watch, paving the way for the arrival of countless apps.

And that's not even the half of it. We learned about a teen who created Algae-powered biofuel in her bedroom lab, and an amateur filmmaker who mounted 15 GoPro cameras in an array to slow down reality to Matrix-like bullet time videos.

Take a look at our Top 10 Tech This Week to see what other great stories took the world of technology by storm this week…
