NVIDIA’s quad-core Tegra 3 processor powers some of today’s most impressive Android devices, and you certainly wouldn’t call it dated. But the company has another processor up its sleeve that blows the Tegra 3 right out of the water. A slide, purportedly detailing the next-generation Tegra 4 (nicknamed “Wayne”), has been leaked — and it reveals that NVIDIA plans to bring a “Quad Core Eagle” CPU with 72-core graphics to your smartphone.

Okay, so today’s Google Play holiday surprise probably isn’t what you were hoping for (at least not what I was hoping for). I’m also guessing a large number of you young bucks have no idea who the Rolling Stones are or who that old guy in the picture is. Well, they are rock legends and that’s Keith Richards (a guy who has most likely partied harder than the entire cast of Jersey Shore ever will).

Korean electronics giant Samsung has today announced that it will drop its patent-infringement lawsuits against Apple in Germany, France, Italy, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. The announcement comes just hours after Apple was denied its request to have 26 Samsung devices banned in the United States — though the two cases are unrelated.

Samsung’s Galaxy S III has been one of this year’s hottest Android handsets, but its high-end specifications mean it’s not ideal for everyone’s budget. With that in mind, Samsung has been working to meet demand for a similar handset that doesn’t quite cost so much. It has produced the Galaxy Grand, a mid-range handset with a 5-inch display that looks identical to its popular sibling.

Google’s latest holiday promo appears to involve the Play store and a few incognito elves. These elves will be unwrapping a special play offer each day through 1/1/2013. These offers could be anything from special app promotions to saving money within an app. For instance, today’s offer gives anyone who downloads the app Hotel Tonight $35 to use towards their first hotel booking.
