Most of you are probably familiar with Google Music’s “Free Song of the Day” (FSotD), where there is a free song to download that might be from an artist that only two people in the world have heard, or a major artist the whole world knows. It is a nice little treat when there is actually [...]
It’s been a long time coming-Google introduced ICS to the world in October, but up until now, Sprint’s Nexus S 4G hasn’t really seen any ICS love.

I am a strong advocate of open source systems, creative commons and of any system, or platform, that allows users to have more control over their own gadgets and content. Android, technically, allows me to do this but the reality is much different. The fact is that even if Google already made ICS available, it [...]
Well isn’t that a great rumor to have dug up. I remember when Google attempted to sell the Nexus One via their own site. It didn’t sell as well at they had hoped. That was a long time ago though. The Android community has grown to an unstoppable monster now. Google is in a very good position [...]
Google’s auto-complete ability built into Google Search can be a very handy little tool for many users. For others, it is being addressed as a breach of privacy.
