The internet is going crazy over a bug that was reported in the Chromium source code yesterday by an alleged Google employee running a version of Android dubbed “KRS36B”. What’s Chromium? It’s the 100% open source version of Chrome. Why is “KRS36B” important? Because of that first letter, the “K”, which denotes Key Lime Pie, the next version of Android. Isn’t this obvious, though? Of course Google is testing the next version of Android....

It wasn’t that long ago when parents and grandparents only had to worry about the kids whenever they left the house to hang out with friends. Who would they run in to? Are there creepers out there hiding around the corner? Will they get home safe? Those fears are no longer exclusive to when children are out and about. No, now we also need to worry about what’s happening in their digital lives as well…even if they’re in the comfort of your own home....

Ever since the formation of Cyanogen Inc., co-founder and original founder of CyanogenMod Steve Kondik has largely been quiet and doing things behind the scenes. Even when the company’s loud-mouthed CEO Kirt McMaster made statements like putting a “bullet to Google’s head,” Kondik was nowhere to be found. Now that Cyanogen Inc. is shutting down its Seattle office, letting go of its employees and its future looking bleak, Kondik has finally spoken out about the mismanagement inside Cyanogen Inc....

T-Mobile has stopped selling the Xperia Z3 in the United States just six months after it started selling the handset. Sony is hardly a known brand in the U.S. smartphone market and sells only selected devices through carriers in the country. The Magenta carrier has not yet revealed the exact reason as to why it has stopped selling Sony’s current flagship Xperia handset. Strangely though, it continues to offer pre-owned units of the Xperia Z and Z1S to customers....

Touchscreens, until recently, were limited to two-dimensional input. When ‘Force Touch’, a less refined version of 3D Touch, was introduced with the Apple Watch in late 2014, some imagined the implications of this tech onto screens the size of phones and tablets. A year later, Huawei beat Apple to this by a few days with the Mate S. But since it’s a custom implementation, you can be pretty sure that app developers will not make use of this till Google officially rolls out support for pressure-sensitive screens....
