The Santa-killing bug that removed December from the People’s app in Android 4.2 has been fixed with an update. Android 4.2.1 is now rolling out to the Nexus 4 and Nexus 10 and will return December just in time for, well… December. While it only appears to be rolling out to those two particular devices at this time, we’re sure the Nexus 7 and Galaxy Nexus are soon to follow.

The long running science and technology magazine with 58 awards under its belt has just crowned Google Now the software innovation of the year. A well deserved award for software that virtually reads your mind, feeding you the information you need before you need it and without you having to ask for it.

Google TV didn’t exactly get off to a great start, however, it’s been slowly evolving and gaining much needed optimizations and features. Personally, I’d say it still has a ways to go, but with this latest update, it’s definitely going to become more interesting.
