The next version of Android 4.4.3 recently entered the “dogfooding” stage at Google HQ. Dogfooding refers to the stage of development where company employees are given the update to test and tweak any changes before a public release. They’re “eating their own dog food” or something like that. Android 4.4.3 will be an incremental upgrade that won’t introduce many major features or additions. Instead, Android 4.4.3 is all about bug fixes. The update will reportedly affect all…
Google Glass is an exclusive project only available to a small number of “Explorers” around the world. However, on April 15, that will change.

Glass will still cost $1500 and will include free frames or shades with purchase, which means you can place your prescription lenses or sunglass lenses inside.

If you live in a city, then your Wi-Fi network is probably visible to a large number of people you don’t know. That’s why you put a password on your network.

Game of Thrones is easily the most popular fantasy show ever made. As a longtime reader of A Song of Ice and Fire, I did not expect the TV show to become so popular with such a large number of people.

Here are the best Android apps to satisfy your love of everybody’s favorite HBO show…
Google is reportedly planning legal action against Turkey after the country banished YouTube from the internet last week.

That video features recordings of a state security meeting about…

The secret behind that technology is Nanodot bio-organic nanocrystals made by a company called StoreDot. What do any of those words…
Twitter leakers @evleaks posted early photos of the HTC One M8 today. The blurry photo shows absolutely nothing about the phone except the exterior case design and bezel (or lack of bezel). Honestly, I don’t know if this leak is anything, but it’s important to report it just in case. Clearly, HTC has gone for the minimalistic design with just two points to see on the front of the phone: the front-facing camera and a light sensor. HTC M8 Ace pic.twitter.com/1KqrLA74Kp — @evleaks…
It is perceptible that Android is a winner of an operating system among mobile enthusiasts. The battle between Google’s Android and Apple’s iOS on popularity has been going on since the inception of Android. The irony is, despite the fact that Android is more popular, most apps debut in iOS platform. Unsurprisingly, Android users wait for a week or a month more to get the same app on Google Play Store.
