While those of us in the United States dove into a three-day Labor Day weekend, the rest of the world was still humming along, and your Mashable weekend team was here to keep track of it all.
We looked into stories past, present and future — celebrating Google’s 13th birthday with a retrospective of its accomplishments, trying our hand at a new photo craze called “stocking,” and gazing into the future with outrageous concept cars, NASA space software and clues about the next iPhone.
