    New Android Malware Uses PC Microphone to Record Victims

    Sorry, but this is no fault on Googles side. A person that actually is that stupid to just trust an app to put the device in USB-debugging mode and the let it connect to the PC (for what reason???) almost deserves to get infected. There are no security solutions for sheer stupidity!

    Illegal File-Sharer Handed Record Prison Sentence

    I don't think prisontime should be given for this type of crime if they didn't make any money from it. The movie studios of said films made a fortune, BUT the sentence reads: I hate it when guys like this makes money from pirated stuff(but I'm not againts filesharing since it doesn't hurt the...

    @everygamer As said in the article : "to provide competitors with access to patents that cover standardized technologies (aka standard essential patents)" The FTC doesn't seem to think that Apples and Samsungs patents are standard essential patents.

    Gmail Update Introduces Drive Integration, 10GB File Sharing

    And not to forget that sending a 10 GB file isn't free. Your google drive account is only at 5 GB, unless you pay. Bad considering most people think google is giving you free ad-supported stuff.

    Google Promises Fix For 2.5 Year-Old Android Bug

    sam_p_layOnly with a custom ROM. If your Xperia is two years old then you're not going to be getting 4.3/5 from Sony!While I'd agree that some bugs need to take lower priority, this kind of delay is ridiculous. It's the same problem in Linux and open-source in general - adding features before...

    Firefox for Android Now Supports ARMv6 Phones

    This is contradictory, but since there has been over 500 million activations I guess the second senetence is the correct one. Wonder what the first one was about? Something quoted a couple of years ago? Anyway, about 50% of all android phones running on ARMv6 is chocking! No wonder the vast...

    Google Ordered to Kill Autocomplete Results for One Man

    amigafanFair enough. But this should not be an exception. Google should react (positively) to all reasonable requests concerning breach of personal privacy. What bothers me is that this man had to get a lawyer and sue to get it sorted out. Problem is that if this become common it would be...

    ISPs Agree to U.S.-Based Anti-Bot Code of Conduct

    I wonder what they mean by "related subjects". I could be that they expand it to other things like "known torrent trackers ip-adresses", tv-streaming and so on. Just to protect us consumers from all the child porn and terrorist activity that these sites promotes (irony).

    Android Tablets Will Overtake iPad by 2015, Say Analysts

    slomjh2Those of you who don't believe W8 will significantly impact the market have no since of history and I predict they will impact Android much more so than iOS as apple owners are much more loyal than Android users.
