Could this be Google’s Super Bowl Ad?
Super Bowl XLV is less than a week away, and while the the big show will feature the Green Bay Packers facing off against the Pittsburg Steelers, there is another event we always seem to watch for. No, I’m not talking about the as-of-lately ho-hum halftime shows, either. For whatever reason, the Super Bowl is the one day of the year people actually get amped up about commercials, and while you can expect many companies to spend their millions of dollars for 30 seconds of ad space on exciting spots that go pop, bang, boom, if this little video that was recently discovered happens to be Google’s pitch they are going for a slightly more subdued approach.

Gingerbread web browser security flaw exposed, and explained (us, worry?)
Back before Thanksgiving, we reported about an Android security flaw in the stock web browser that allowed an attacker to get contents of your SD card if he or she knew the full path to the files. That flaw was fixed in Gingerbread, and all was well with the world blogosphere. But, lo and behold, someone has found a way to work around the new patch, and the Gingerbread browser is just as vulnerable (with a different method) as before the patch. And we’re still not worried. Yes, this needs to be addressed. Yes, you’re likely going to have issues getting any patch because your carrier and manufacturer will be involved to help slow down the process. But let’s put things in perspective a bit. The Android browser allows for file downloads and javascript execution — it wouldn’t be much of a browser without those features. Android also gives us an unsecure place to store files — the SD card (or equivalent). If you go to a website, and click a link, some code can be run that looks for files by name and can pull them from your card. If it doesn’t know the name, it doesn’t find the files Continue reading

Sony Ericsson ‘Vivaz 2′ to be Xperia Neo? Launching Alongside Xperia Arc and Play

Quadriplegic Uses Swype to Set Fastest Hands-Free Typing World Record
We’ve already seen Swype lay claim to aiding in the setting of a new speed-texting world record , but would you believe the virtual keyboard also played a role in taking the record for fastest hands-free typing into new territory? In just 83.09 seconds, Hank Torres, a quadriplegic paralyzed from the shoulders down, was able to swipe out the following: “The razor-toothed piranhas of the genera Serrasalmus and Pygocentrus are the most ferocious freshwater fish in the world. In reality they seldom attack a human.” This was accomplished through a combination of Swype and a head-tracking device Continue reading

2 Million Galaxy Tabs Sold? Not Quite, Consumer Purchases Much Lower
Samsung has been known to fudge the reality of their sales figures a bit, quoting units shipped to retailers as units “sold.” This is nothing new or all that suspicious; the implication is that if retailers are buying up items like the Samsung Galaxy Tab at a rate of 2 million units in the first four months after launch the Android tablet must be moving quite well from shelves. Continue reading
