Google has finally rolled out its latest Android 4.4.4 KitKat update, which sports build number “KTU84P” to the 2013 Nexus 7 LTE, almost four months after it was made available to the Wi-Fi only model. The release contains important security fixes, as well as a fix for the Android camera bug that was responsible for severe battery drain.

With the heat from Bendgate now dissipating, Samsung has released one more video trying to fan critics’ flames in the direction of Cupertino by showing just how strong the Galaxy Note 4 allegedly is.
Entitled “Galaxy Note 4 Endures the Gluteus Maximus,” the video demonstrates Samsung’s new flagship taking part in the kind of controlled bend tests seen in the recent Consumer Reports video — including taking the repeated weight of a 100kg person sitting on it several hundred times.
Thinks Tim Cook wasn’t briefed properly on Google’s policies.
Eric Schmidt has hit back at Tim Cook’s recent jibes at Google, claiming that “someone didn’t brief him correctly on Google’s policies.”

During his recent two-part interview with Charlie Rose, Cook said that, “I think everyone has to ask, ‘How do companies make their money?’ Follow the money. And if they’re making money mainly by collecting gobs of personal data, I think you have a right to be worried and you should really understand what’s happening with that data.”
