We’re getting close to the end of the week, and as we wind down our day, we have the Android Overload. These are all the news articles that have accumulated from throughout the day, but didn’t quite make it onto our front page. Lots of app updates, releases and miscellaneous Android/Google/mobile related news. There’s always a few good left overs in here. Let me point your attention to the article from The Atlantic where Judge Posner talks about America’s broken patent system. Good read.

Holy cow. I thought the last font was bad…this one doesn’t even render properly.
Good article by Posner. We need to clone him.

The font shows up as Arial and it looks great on my computer…
Day off for Phandroid today?
I use the Phandroid app and I’ve never had an issue with the font…. And with that said this looks way better than any Google tv or that weird ball thing they released. This will be me next media center control board
