It’s no secret the the U.S. government enjoys taking certain liberties with citizens’ privacy by wiretapping cellphones, but did you know that each time Uncle Sam decides to peek in someone’s phone records they get a big bill from the carrier?

AT&T charges the government a $325 “activation free” for each wiretap and then they rack up an extra $10 a day to keep the line open. Want the NSA to think twice before tapping you? Then maybe you should go with Verizon as their wiretaps cost the most at $775 per month and then $500 for each month after that.

Wondering what Motorola has up its sleeve for the rest of the year? The image above is purported to be the entire 2013 Motorola DROID family, with the DROID Mini on the left, the DROID Ultra in the middle, and the DROID MAXX on the right.

Skype overhauled its Android app with a new user interface and a number of new features last week. And following lots of user feedback, the company has just rolled out another release. This one fixes a number of frustrating problems, and makes the sign-out process easier.

Earlier today, Google released a major update for the Google Maps for Android that comes with a new UI, and a tablet optimized mode. The Navigation feature has also been enhanced with dynamic re-routing and live traffic updates. However, the new Maps is seemingly missing a few features including Latitude and Offline Maps.

While Google has announced that it will be killing off latitude on August 9th, the ability to save maps for offline use is still present but has been hidden.

Motorola is said to be developing a new smartphone that will be similar to the Nexus 4 in both specifications and price, with plans to sell it at less than €250 ($320). The device isn’t expected to replace the Nexus smartphone, but rather go on sale alongside it, according to unnamed sources for a Spanish-language website.
