Android hackers mull rooted mobe app marketplace

Google Apps

"Google also turns a blind eye to the inclusion of Android Marketplace and other Google apps with the CyanogenMod distribution, though device manufacturers pay for such niceties"

Not exactly, they used to include gapps with CM but Google didn't like that and made them remove it from the ROM so now you have to download the gapps package separately and flash it after CM.

Brits got Kindles for Christmas

I got a Kobo Touch for christmas, and have to say that it's fantastic. I wasn't sure sure about them a few months ago but after having a good go with mine over the holidays and I am extremely impressed.

Dubstep ringtone wins Nokia compo

Dear oh dear

Dubstep is on it's way out of being so popular, and Nokia is pretty late to the party.

It's a shame that this sort of dubstep is even so popular in the first place. This track probably took about 2 days to make and lacks any sort of creativity whatsoever. Sound exactly like the 1000 other ones I have heard in clubs recently. Whereas people like Appleblim and Martyn are making interesting dubstep that doesn't consist of the same beat and the 'wub wub wub' and barely get any play time.

Mac Trojan uses Windows backdoor code
