Fleksy, the popular space-saving keyboard for Android, is hoping to stay hot on the heels of SwiftKey with a new update that introduces the ability to buy and apply premium themes. It also makes improvements to Fleksy’s surface design, adding new colors and animations — and introduces a whole bunch of new languages.
Samsung gets a lot of stick for its commercials — mostly because they almost always make cheap stabs at Apple and other rivals.

To celebrate Comic-Con International, Marvel is opening up its online archive — consisting of more than 15,000 books that date back as far as the Golden and Silver ages — for the princely sum of one dollar.
Sony’s upcoming Xperia Z3 will pack a quad-core Snapdragon 801 processor combined with 3GB of RAM, according to a new report, but a super sharp Quad HD display will not be appearing on its specifications sheet.
