10 Questions We Want Answered About iCloud A week has passed since Apple's big iCloud announcement, and it seems like there are more questions now than ever. For example, what's Apple's strategy for video, and just as importantly, where does streaming fit into the vision? What tiered online storage plans will Apple offer beyond the 5 gigabytes allocated and will there be other ways to upgrade your service beyond iTunes Match? We are going to send these Qs to Apple, so let us know if there is anything you want to know in the comments section.     ADVERTISEMENT E3 2011: The Most Underrated Games PCMag's team is back from E3 and now that the buzz is dying down and the lavish launch parties are over, it is time to dig down to find the games that didn't grab headlines, but should. For every Batman: Arkham City, Mass Effect 3, and Star Wars: The Old Republic, there are dozens of quality video games that deserve a spotlight of their own. Jeff Wilson has his picks, including a Bible-based action title and a licensed movie game that's actually worth playing. Hard to believe, but true. Pandora IPO Set for Today Regular readers know I prefer Slacker Radio to Pandora, but there is no doubting the importance of this pioneering Internet Radio company. That makes me kind of interested in how Pandora's IPO does today. The company hopes to raise $176.2 million by selling 14.7 million shares for $10 to $12 a pop. My question is, will this mean the emails from Pandora founder Tim Westergren asking for donations will finally stop? I certainly hope so. Can Google Search Really Save You Time? Lance Ulanoff has been testing out Google's new instant search with a stopwatch to find out just how much time is being saved here. After all, Google Search is already pretty darn fast, and most of us can't really tell the difference between Bing results and Google results anyway. How much time will it save you? Take a few minutes and find out. 5 Great Note-Taking Apps for the iPad I take both a laptop and a paper notepad to most meetings. The laptop is for Web access and digital record-keeping, the notepad for jotting down quick ideas. It works, but after reading about these five note-taking apps for the Apple iPad, I may just change my ways. For just a few bucks, you can get a great app that can capture and store all your notes in digital form. If you have an iPad and you want to get organized, these apps are for you. How to Run the Kindle App on a Rooted Nook I complain all the time about the problem of lock-in when it comes to the Kindle and Nook ebook platforms, but whenever I do so, some sly reader points out that we need not accept the limits these companies try to put on us, and that with a little creativity, you can make these darn things do just about anything. Want to put Kindle on the nook? It may not be what the lawyers call "legal," but you can do it. The guys at Geek.com have the lowdown. How Much Did the Les Paul Doodle Cost Google, and the World? It sure seemed like a harmless and fun little doodle, but that Les Paul Guitar Google Doodle could be lading us into a double dip recession. During the two days that the Les Paul doodle was online, those 740 million visitors, according to analytics from RescueTime, spent 26 seconds more on the Google home page than normal. So, 740 million multiplied by 26 seconds is 5,344,444 hours--and over two days, that's a total of almost 10.7 million man hours. Extremetech.com does the math. SUBSCRIBE TO PC MAGAZINE DIGITAL TODAY!
