Google has recently updated the review system for the Google Play store by linking all reviews to a users Google+ account. While this move is sure to incur backlash from privacy proponents and angry trolls, I’m all for it and feel it creates a more respectable app review system that I can trust.
Google is sending out emails to let people know that at 12 noon PST, the Nexus 4 will once again be available for purchase via the Google Play store. This will certainly brighten the day for those of you who failed to hit your F5 key fast enough the first time.
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.
We simply love wallpapers. They’re one of the first changes we make to our Android devices and often represent our moods, interests, or wicked alter egos. They’re as unique as the individuals who use them and while some people pick one and stick with it, others change them more often than a teenager’s Facebook status. Each day we’re going to feature a free wallpaper for you to download and use on your Android device. Depending on your device, you may want to use your favorite photo editing software to resize the image for a better fit. Once that’s done, apply and enjoy. Your home screen can thank us later. Cheers!
