Larry Page, a Google co-founder, accepted the position of CEO in April of 2011.

Late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs famously said that he intended to wage “thermonuclear war” on Android. The rift between Apple and Google has been growing wider over the years, and the two companies have essentially become sworn enemies in most areas of business.

In an interesting profile by Bloomberg Businessweek, current Google CEO Larry Page says that Steve Jobs’ public defamation of Android was “for show” to rally Apple around its obvious enemy. Page also talks about topics like the current state of Google, the Motorola acquisition, and more.

To say Instagram’s Android launch was successfull would be an understatement. It took less than 24 hours for the photo sharing app to reach 1 million downloads and plenty of controversy. Yesterday’s wild Instagram ride brought random crashes, unsupported cameras, a quick update and unruly elitist iDouches. It was absolute pandemonium, and I couldn’t have asked for anything more. Congrats to Instagram and we thank you for allowing us poor Android peasants passage through the pristine pastures of exclusive iPhilter photography. Check out the recap of yesterday’s stories after the break.

The Gmail app received a performance update today bringing Ice Cream Sandwich functionality to Honeycomb users and new label API’s to Froyo and Gingerbread. Honeycomb users will benefit from the new Ice Cream Sandwich features, including:

It appears those rumored Goggle glasses are indeed in the works and Google has released a tantalizing video to give us a look at what a future with Google’s glasses would look like. The video entitled Project Glass: Day One, gives us a sneak peek at how such innovation would change the way we see the world. It’s quite amazing and has me more excited than ever. I’ve haven’t been this giddy about getting my hands on something since the original Nintendo came out (sad, I know). Rather than waste any more of your time, I’ll let you get straight to the video and experience the world through the eyes of Google Glasses.

Sprint employee training material for the Galaxy Nexus leaked today suggesting the possibility of it launching before Sprint’s 4G LTE network. According to the training docs, the Sprint Galaxy Nexus will have 4G LTE switched off by default. It makes sense to have LTE switched off if you don’t yet have a network to support it, but it could also be to avoid having users in non-LTE markets (which will be many) from experiencing adverse battery drain — as the material suggests. The odds of you being in a Sprint LTE area once it launches is pretty slim anyways so I’m guessing Sprint customers probably won’t care about it being switched off.
