Greetings, friends. I hope you all had a wonderful 4th of July and for those that joined our Google+ Event, it was a blast. Today, might have been a little skimpy on the news, but for all the articles that almost slipped through the cracks, we’ve place them here, so that you wouldn’t miss a thing. Have to admit, I’m a little jelly when it comes to all the goodies Google employees get to own (see article below), but that’s what I get for not becoming a software engineer. Thanks, mom. Oh, and that Android botnot security alert thing that got made it all over the internet today? Yeah, turns out the report wasn’t as accurate as everyone first thought. Have a great night, everyone!

- CM9 for the Motorola Droid X2 now with functioning camera. [XDA]
- Apple patents Google Glass? Almost. [Wired]
- Panasonic P-08D Eluga Live tablet gains FCC approval. [Engadget]
- Security researchers backtrack on Android’s “malware” claim. [WSJ]
only 1 of the links is borked this time around and figures it would be the apple patent one.
As I pointed out in another one of these a few weeks (or maybe months) back, the problem isn’t a left-off http or anything like that. If you click the link and scroll through the URL, you’ll find the correct address appended at the end of the URL address for this page. Once you’ve clicked the link, in the URL just delete all the crap from this page (http://phandroid…… and-more/) and hit enter, it’ll take you to the correct page.
there’s no excuse for sloppiness, even if there’s a workaround ;)
Oh, I agree wholeheartedly! What’s sad is that this has been going on for many months, and it’s still just as bad as it was then.
imagine that, security researchers jumping to alarmist conclusions.
“Android blow up toy”………….
