Google Fiber just got better? Big G asks for permission to provide video service to Kansas City

Posted on February 22, 2012 by droiddude| Leave a comment

Here we thought the citizens of Kansas City couldn’t get any more fortunate after being chosen by Google to get a fiber optic gigabit network. Turns out, Google Fiber may be bringing more than just web access, as the company has asked the state of Missouri to allow it to deliver video services as well. We first heard about Big G’s possible foray into pay-TV late last year, as the company was in talks with various content providers to see if it could make it happen. Given this official move towards becoming a video provider in America’s heartland, we’d say those conversations must have gone fairly well. Either that, or the folks in Kansas City will be watching a whole lot of YouTube’s new niche content . Google Fiber just got better

Posted on February 13, 2012 by droiddude| Leave a comment

Samsung just launched the Galaxy Tab 2, the official sequel to its original tablet, the Galaxy Tab. Whereas the original Tab was criticized for running an up-scaled phone operating system rather than one designed specifically for a tablet, the new Tab leaps forward to Android 4.0 “Ice Cream Sandwich” (ICS), the most recent Google mobile OS, designed for phones and tablets.

Posted on February 8, 2012 by droiddude| Leave a comment

A little gem known as Android 4.0.4 wriggled its way onto the interweb last week, and while it was geared specifically for Sprint’s Nexus S 4G, a similar version has just cropped up for the CDMA / LTE Galaxy Nexus from Verizon . While it’s only available for tenacious users who’ve unlocked their bootloader, it seems that a host of improvements are on deck for the official release. First and foremost, the ROM is said to be noticeably faster, with the speed gains also extending to the web browser and the device’s boot time.

New Android malware? Or just an ad network?

Posted on January 30, 2012 by droiddude| Leave a comment

Security firm Symantec raised eyebrows last week with a security notice about software it has dubbed Android.Counterclank, malware that the company claims can be found in over a dozen apps in the official Android market that have been installed as many as 5 million times. According to Symantec, CounterClank is a “bot-like” threat that, once installed on an Android device, can steal information and pass it along to a malicious host, and the software can respond to remote commands to carry out certain actions on the Android device. …

Intel reports record 2011 earnings, bests Q4 estimates

Posted on January 19, 2012 by droiddude| Leave a comment

Intel just released its fiscal year-end numbers, including its Q4 report, and things are indeed looking up for the company. After revising its final quarter estimate late last December on the heels of supply chain reductions, the chipmaker posted $13.9 billion in revenues on the strength of its PC client and data center group, beating its prior goal of $13.7 billion, but still falling well under its initial $14.7 billion target. As for its full year performance, well it appears this is one for the books, considering revenues grew to $54 billion — a $10 billion plus year over year boost — with profits coming in at $12.9 billion, leading 2011′s statement to “[eclipse] all annual revenue and earnings records.” And with Ultrabooks lingering just on the horizon, the company expects business to continue to boom well into 2012.
