Today, we\u2019re looking at three particularly interesting stories.\nGoogle Starts Displaying Birthday Reminders on Front Page\nGoogle has started displaying birthday reminders on its Google Search front page, proving once again that it's serious about integrating social features into its core products. \nStarting today, users will see a reminder on Google.com when someone in their circles has a birthday. The feature will initially work only if you're searching in English on Google.com, and it will be rolled out gradually over the \"next few days.\"\nGrooveshark Once Again Available in Google Play\nOnline music service Grooveshark is once again available in Google Play after being pulled last year due to lawsuits from major music labels. Now, Grooveshark has settled its debt to EMI, and it might be on its way to getting acquired. \nApple Geniuses Available in Four New Countries\nApple's live online chat helpers, dubbed Apple Geniuses, are now available in the UK, Germany, Spain and Brazil.\n\"Now there\u2019s a whole new way to get help from the Apple Online Store.
