Open source robot with Android remotecontrol

Not bad!
It seems the QBO open source robot seems to be there for a while. But you couldn't controll it with Android. That's why I didn't recognize the QBO so long. 
In conjunction with a smartphone it's a pretty cool thing.

Of course you can phone someone if you want to talk to him. 
I Hope the world won't turn too geeky

Google strikes back: 1023 IBM patents to defend Android

Due to the patent battle Google decided to buy over 1000 technology patents from IBM.
In Googles e-mail statement they said:
“Like many tech companies, at times we’ll acquire patents that are relevant to our business.”


The acquired patents from Google,are about the architecture and fabrication of microprocessor and memory chips, but also to servers, routers and online search engines.

Google has been trying for some time to catch up with the patents to other IT companies like Microsoft and Apple. It has already bought from IBM in July 1000 patents. With the recent acquisition of the smartphone business of Motorola by Google, it should also be gone including the approximately 17 000 briefs, which go to the owner.

So Google wants to prevent their vulnerability.

New Android virus apparently records phone calls

It is still August - and thus summer. However, this year it rains very often. No wonder then, that one catches a virus much easier.
But why Android has gotten a cold so easily? After the "Angry Bird" virus there is a new one out there.

Privacy advocates strike alarm

Researchers from CA Technologies found a virus, which records phone calls and send them to a server.
This virus wasn't written by some intelligent programmer because the phone calls are saved on the SD-CARD which get full soon. So soon the owner of the mobile phone will recognize that there is something wrong because.  
I recomment you to read the description of the app before you download it!
If you are too lazy for that then i suggest you to download LBE Privacy Guard.
Many pests disguise themselves as system files. If they look somehow suspicious - don't download it!!!

Samsung Galaxy S2 compared with the light version

The Samsung Galaxy R must be a very interesting device although there haven't been any information if you can buy it in Europe. Its technical performance is between the Galaxy S2 and the Galaxy S plus.

It has a 1 GHz Tegra 2 (Dual Core) processor, a 4.2 "Super Clear LCD display, a 5 megapixel camera and 8GB of internal memory. Although these are "worse" than the technical data of the Galaxy S2, but they can turn up completely. Especially since the device would be a good bit cheaper. I guess about €400-450. Because you can get a Galaxy S2 indeed for almost €500,and the Galaxy Plus around 350 €.

You can watch the preview video about the Galaxy R here.
