It’s been an action-packed week, for sure.  The Moscone Center was home to some pretty cool announcements from Google at their annual developer conference.

Hit the break for a tech and science roundup, including highlights from I/O and the viral Google Glass demo video which sets the bar high for future tech demos- sky high.

Google I/O 2012 wraps up today in San Francisco.  In case you missed our coverage of the conference’s keynotes, Mountain View dropped a few memorable announcements:

• Google nards Amazon for the second time in two days by announcing Google Compute Engine, EC2 joins Kindle Fire in the locker
• Google Glass is demo’d via a skydiving, stunt-cycling, and rappelling segment that would make Michael Bay proud
