Google Now Activating 100,000 Android Devices A Day — 50,000 Android Apps

Today at Google I/O Vic Gundotra made a big revelation. Last year, Google was activating 30,000 Android phones a day. The past February, that number jumped to 60,000. Today, Google is now activating over 100,000 Android phones a day.

Android was the second best-selling smartphone this quarter, Gundotra says. They are only behind RIM — and yes, ahead of that other rival.

Google Mistakenly Gets Wireless Data from Unprotected Access Points

Okay, if you did not enable wireless security on your network, STOP! Proceed to enable your wireless security on your access point unless you want to put your network at risk.

Google Inc said its fleet of cars responsible for photographing streets around the world have for several years accidentally collected personal information that consumers send over wireless networks.

The company said on Friday that it is currently in touch with regulators in several countries, including the United States, Germany, France, Brazil and Hong Kong, about how to dispose of the data, which Google said it never used.

"It's now clear that we have been mistakenly collecting samples of payload data from open (i.e. non-password-protected) WiFi networks," Google Senior VP of Engineering and Research Alan Eustace said in a post on Google's official blog on Friday.

"As soon as we became aware of this problem, we grounded our Street View cars and segregated the data on our network, which we then disconnected to make it inaccessible," Eustace said.

Adobe to Jobs: “We Love You!”

Yeah, but will Apple's CEO love Adobe back? The Adobe-Apple breakup has taken on strange tabloid-like qualities over the last 30 days or so. Quick someone call in the paparazzi, but first ask if they'll be editing those photos in Adobe Photoshop, Photoshop Lightroom or Apple Aperture. Today, Adobe cofounders Chuck Geschke and John Warnock responded to Jobs' Aptil 29 "Thoughts on Flash" memo with their own: "Our thoughts on open markets." Adobe is supporting the memo with a marketing campaign -- "We love Apple" ads and "Freedom of Choice" Website." Adobe's response is measured and embracing, subtly placing the blame for the breakup on Apple. In the court of public and developer opinion -- perhaps shareholders in both companies -- Adobe may prove the venerable of the two parties here.

I simply can't wait to finish this post and read what Macheads have to say about Adobe's response...

• Adobe | Flash and Creative Freedom (We love choice!)
• Adobe | Future of Flash (The Truth About Flash)
• Adobe | Our Thoughts on Open Markets

Nokia Expands Patent Infringement Case to iPads

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Published: May 7, 2010 

The Finnish cell phone maker Nokia Corporation said on Friday that it had extended its patent-infringement claims against Apple to include the new iPad. The latest complaint, filed in United States District Court in Madison, Wis., follows other lawsuits by Nokia claiming that a broad swath of Apple products violate Nokia patents.

Nokia’s latest lawsuit is aimed at the iPhone and the version of the iPad 3G that can connect to the Web using cell phone networks. An Apple spokesman, Steve Dowling, declined to comment on the new case but noted that Apple had filed infringement cases of its own against Nokia.

Google search page features brighter logo, icons, so get ready!

I like Google. Not because of all the cool things they  developed for us but because they are smart about it:

“Google users around the world will soon be seeing a new search page. The Mountain View online giant has streamlined the design of its main site and added a handful of search refinement tools in an effort to allow surfers to more easily navigate the Internet.”
