It was a big week in tech, the week of Google I/O. But apart from the annual Google geekfest that its developers conference is, there was much more. We were in San Francisco to cover Google I/O, but we also kept an eye on the rest of the world of tech for Top 10 Tech This Week.
The biggest story of the week - which in turn contained countless big stories - was Google I/O, the company's developers conference. Even though this time nobody parachuted onto the conference building wearing Google Glass, the conference was still full of juicy announcements: new Hangouts, new Google Maps, a 3.5-hour keynote featuring CEO Larry Page and much more.
Apart from that, the tech world still had a lot to offer. Google and NASA teamed up to launch a quantum computer AI lab, and a company launched a Google Glass competitor specifically tailored for extreme sports fans.
In the meantime, in Australia, researchers have been able to develop printable photovoltaic cells. And a South African woodworker made a robotic 3D-printed hand.
