Cards, cards, cards... that's the refrain around the Google campus these days. Everything is getting turned into cards. That now includes your documents stored on Drive, too. The Google Drive app for Android was updated today with a whole new UI that moves towards the refined Holo design of the Play Music app and displays your uploaded files as "cards," though, you can always revert to a tweaked list view. The cards offer a thumbnail preview along with the file name and an icon indicating the type of document. The ability to snap photos and have the results turned into a OCR-processed PDF has also been updated slightly. The feature is now called "scan" and it automatically crops photos to contain only the document you need to upload. Lastly, you can finally tweak text settings in sheets, delivering a much more robust mobile formatting experience. Just hit up the Play Store to get your update now.

Technologically bent cyclists have their choice of advanced bicycles these days, but it's a little hard to justify getting a specialized vehicle if your existing two-wheeler still functions just fine. However, swap your bike's handlebars with one of these handsome aluminum ones from Helios and all of a sudden your beloved ride is equipped with a 500-lumen headlight, a pair of rear-facing RGB LED indicators, Bluetooth 4.0 for smartphone communications and, yes, even a built-in GPS. Join us after the break as we give you a brief tour of the Helios Bars and how it's well worth its $200 price point.

If the lights and the app aren't enough to strike your fancy, every Helios handlebar comes with a low-power GPS module and even cellular connectivity. Pop in a prepaid SIM card and you can track your bike from anywhere in the world -- send it a text and you'll get a reply with a Google Maps link to its location, hopefully recovering a lost or stolen bike in the process. The GPS module has a reserve battery all its own that should last up to 15 days, giving you sufficient time to track it down.We had a chance to take an early look at the Helios Bars, and were impressed by the build quality of the reinforced aluminum chassis. The RGB LEDs shone brightly, as did the powerful 500-lumen headlight. Co-founder Kenneth Gibbs told us it illuminates both the ground and what's ahead of you, something not every bicycle headlight can do. The lights are powered by a pair of lithium ion batteries housed in each handlebar, which you can refuel by popping 'em in a charger. If you're worried about the handlebar being stolen, fellow co-founder Seena Zandipour assured us that it'll be installed using special security screws that only you can install or remove with a provided tool.However, you can't buy these Helios handlebars just yet. The team says they're about to launch a Kickstarter campaign this Tuesday, which will hopefully lead to that. The Bars are available in both bullhorn and dropbar designs in either black or white for $199 each. Get in early enough for the Early Brid pricing, however, and you'll be able to snag one for $149. While we wait for their Kickstarter to begin, feel free to peruse the gallery above and the source link to get more information on the smartest pair of bicycle handlebars we've ever seen. when.eng("eng.perm.init")
