I recently wrote about the awesome whirlwind that is the rise of the Android operating system over the last 5 years. In that time Google have taken Android from strength to strength and it is now by far the worlds biggest mobile operating system. Beating it’s nearest rival (iOS) by a huge 4:1 ratio. Google have now delved into the world of audio downloads in the shape of the Google Play Stor... »
Well people, it’s that time again, the guys over at Humble Bundle have been at it again with the release and another selection of awesome cross platform games. As always with Humble Bundle you pay what you like for these titles. So, let’s have a look at what they have lined up for us this time… Splice Resequence, mutate, and splice in this experimental microbial puzzler by Cipher... »
Update Nov. 15 So after being down by a day, a helpful Google+er pointed me to an update this morning of Firefox Beta. Flash works again just as well as it did before the 4.2 upgrade. So be sure, if you follow the steps below, to use Firefox Beta. Tuesday is the official release date of two new Nexus devices — the LG Nexus 4 and the Samsung Nexus 10. With a refreshed Nexus ... »
Today marks the 5th anniversary of Androids début to the world. Way back in 2007 Apple announced that it was taking the mobile market by storm with the release of the iPhone.

In tests, I was even able to update a WordPress blog t... »
Liam McLoughlin (most famously known as Hexxeh) managed to successfully port Chromium OS (the 100% Open-Source version of Chrome OS) last week on the ever-so-popular Nexus 7 tablet from Google. The build itself is not necessarily stable, but it’s still good news alongside Canonical’s release of the Ubuntu Installer for the Nexus 7 a few days back. Today, Hexxeh uploaded a video show... »
It’s been about a week since my last post on going Android at work. So far much of my time spent work on Android has been a lot more productive than I even suspected. I’ve talked about hardware here a little — I’ve essentially used the two best Android devices available in the Asus Transformer Infinity and the Nexus 7. But the real power behind Android has been the software... »

But one of the biggest reasons to go Android if you’re going mobile is the fact that you have access to your file system. This reason alone makes iOS a non-starter for me. I like putting files where I want them and I like to find them where I put them. And I prefer to orga... »
