Chrome OS and Google Drive to get intimate in version 20
When Google finally announced its shiny new cloud-based Drive service, many people will have been glad to see an extra bit of storage tacked onto their daily gadget lives. Some, however, spin out a generally more nebular existence, and that’d be the Chrome OS faithful. If you find yourself amongst their number, you’ll be pleased to know that Sundar Pichai, SVP for Chrome, revealed in an interview with Wired that the next iteration of its slight operating system will come with Drive tightly sewn into the fabric. The idea is that the service will operate as the local file system, and all the core OS functionality will use Drive for storing data. Third party apps like VMware are already baking in Drive functionality, and expect more to follow when it lands in version 20.

MBTA and Masabi team up for first smartphone rail ticketing system in the US, launching in Boston this fall
In Boston this fall, you won’t need to keep up with your train ticket anymore — as long as you don’t leave your smartphone at home. The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) and Masabi have joined forces to bring a rail ticketing to handheld devices via iPhone, Android and BlackBerry apps. Headquartered in London, Masabi has launched similar tech for transit companies in the UK, eliminating ticket lines for many smartphone-wielding passengers. Software will allow riders to purchase tickets and passes that are validated with a barcode scan by conductors equipped with mobile devices of their own. MBTA is looking to cut costs and provide added convenience with the new system instead of adding more ticketing kiosks to its stations. The aforementioned apps will be developed alongside focus groups and a small pilot group this summer with a full rollout to all MBTA customers expected to happen this fall. Looking for a bit more info? Hit the coverage and source links below to read on.

Jenelle Evans and Kieffer Delp: Hitting it Again!
Teen Mom 2 star Jenelle Evans just can’t seem to stay out of trouble … or the arms of Kieffer Delp. As her mom Babwha would say … Dammit Kieffah!!!!!!
Ever since Jenelle broke up with Gary Head, it’s been a non-stop bone-a-thon for the train wreck and her former boyfriend, according to Radar sources.
“She has spent the past few days with Kieffer shut up in her apartment having sex,” a source dished, noting that it could mean trouble for the hot mess.
“She’s only got days left of her probation and now she’s could end up back in jail because she’s not meant to be with him as he has a criminal record.”
Delp got out of prison last month, and he’s already causing more headaches for Jenelle Evans, as their recent dalliance resulted in a visit from the police.
“The cops chased Kieffer away from Jenelle’s home,” a source said, with no word on whether he was wearing his trademark ratty green hoodie at the time.
It’s unclear what brought police to her house this time around, though epic fights between the on-off couple have become par for the course on Teen Mom 2.
“Nothing happened to Jenelle in terms of criminal charges, at this time, but to say the police are sick of her and her drama would be an understatement.”
Evans, 20, hasn’t let probation and court orders stop her hard partying. Since she can’t smoke pot because of random drug tests, she’s been dropping acid.
“She does it a lot … she fell in love with it,” Tori Rhyne, a close pal of the Oak Island, N.C. native (or at least she used to be), told Star earlier this month.
Between that and Kieffer’s reemergence in her life, her alleged quest to regain custody of son Jace – or a stable existence overall – may be short-lived.

AT&T HTC One X demo units sighted
The AT&T HTC One X is now available to pre-order, and it seems the network may be preparing to show off demo units in store, as evidenced by the latest photos sent our way by an anonymous tipster. Besides that, there's not a whole lot to surprise regular readers here — it's an HTC One X, on AT&T, with the carrier's branding proudly displayed atop the screen. It'll launch on May 6, and we're expecting it to be just as good as its international Tegra 3-flavored sibling.
Check past the break for a couple more sneaky pics, and be sure to drop by the comments and let us know if you'll be picking one of these babies up come May 6.
Thanks, anon!

Switched On: When the smartphone giveth, Part 2
Each week Ross Rubin contributes Switched On, a column about consumer technology.
In case you missed it, Part I of this article can be found here
Last week’s Switched On discussed the Slacker Portable, Sony eMarker and TrafficGauge, three dedicated devices that didn’t make it but saw their functionality ultimately realized via smartphones. But there have been other idea for which the idea ultimately proved popular as smartphone bits rather than separately packaged atoms.

Starting into Practice: The Saving Power of an Umbrella Policy
I was in Las Vegas this past weekend for a chiropractic event.? On the way from the airport to my hotel,? my cab came to a standstill for quite some time.? As we inched forward, I could see that there was a significant, multi-car ?fender bender? in front of us.?
It didn?t appear that there were any major injuries, but there was extensive damage to the cars and, without doubt, some sore necks and backs.? I did wonder if the person responsible for the accident had enough insurance for all of those affected??
Once fault is established, that person will be legally and financially responsible for the medical bills and property damage for all those involved!
If you don?t have one already, I?d suggest discussing an umbrella policy with your insurance agent.? An umbrella liability policy will provide protection beyond the limits of your home, auto and business policies.?For instance, if you were the person that caused the auto accident I described above and the collective damages exceeded your auto liability limits, the umbrella would be an extra layer of protection helping to protect your personal finances from becoming at stake.
I think most people either don?t think of an umbrella policy or have the impression they are unaffordable.? In reality, the cost for a million dollar umbrella is typically very affordable considering the peace of mind it provides!?
As always, please consult your insurance agent to discuss your particular insurance plan.? Our NCMIC insurance agents would also be happy to assist you and discuss your options.? (Contact them by email at agents@ncmic.com or by calling 800-394-1466.)
