Waiting for a deluge of Google Glass details from next week’s hackatons? Not gonna happen

Google has planned two Project Glass “hackatons” for next week, but attending developers will be bound by some pretty restricting NDAs.

Concerned about the mobile unlocking ban? Sign the White House petition

I earlier wrote about what can be a potential issue among mobile users in the U.S. The Librarian of Congress has deemed it illegal to unlock mobile phones starting Saturday, January 26th, on the premise that the user dones not actually own the software in the device, but is only a licensee.

HTC Mini: a small Bluetooth dumb phone to better use big-ass smartphones

Since there are some pretty big smartphones out there, and since HTC has decided to go ahead and release a dumb phone to pair it with your big-ass smartphone, we’ll just go ahead and paraphrase Jeff Foxworthy for this one: “In case you need a smaller phone to actually use your big-ass phone, then you might be a redneck.”

With the release of the Droid DNA and the Butterfly, and with the upcoming arrival of the M7, HTC is looking to reverse its fortunes in the market.

Google’s Project Glass to use bone conducting technology

Google’s Project Glass is an interesting product due to its mystery but also because of how “unsecretive” they really were when demonstrating it to the public.

Google closing up its open ecosystem according to Nokia’s Stephen Elop

It’s no secret that one of the reasons that Android is doing so well is because of it being open source.
