I’m sure a lot of jurors are happy to finally be rid of what Judge William Alsup deemed “the longest trial, civil trial, I’ve ever been in.” Today, the jury reached a decision, exonerating Google by finding Android did not infringe on any of Oracle’s patents. This is great news for Google, Android, and the Java community in general. So you can all take a brief breather as Oracle will no doubt start the appeals and waste more money on high priced lawyers.

Larry Page stepped to the blog today to announce the completion of Google’s acquisition of Motorola Mobility. It was a nine-month ordeal which finally closed thanks to a “thumbs up” from China. Larry goes on to thank former CEO Sanjay Jha, and to talk about his replacement, Dennis Woodside. Larry had nothing but positive words for Dennis and his transition to CEO of Motorola Mobility:

Google I/O is a little over a month away and as we get ready for the onslaught of rumors and ticket scalpers, Google has posted the Sessions Calendar for you to start planning your 3-day boot camp. If you’re part of the Android infantry, you’ll find plenty of drills to participate in, with 20 events already scheduled and more sure to come.

Today Google updated its Chrome browser and introduced the ability to sync tabs across multiple devices. The update, along with the tab sync feature will be rolling out over the next couple weeks so you may or may not see it right away. I was able to update Chrome on both my laptop and desktop, however, only my laptop received the tab sync feature. I was hoping to give you a hands on across all of my devices but since my desktop lacks the tab sync, I’ll be showing you how it works across my laptop and Samsung Galaxy Nexus using Chrome Beta for Android.

Google’s latest Stable release of Chrome now includes the ability to sync tabs across multiple devices. As long as you are signed into Chrome, you’ll now have the ability to take your tabs with you when switching between work, home, mobile (with Chrome for Android beta), etc. Accessing them is quick and easy thanks to the new “Other devices” menu located on the New Tab page, and even the back and forward buttons will work, allowing you to pick up browsing right where you left off.
