Is Android "true" open source? Yes, and Google may not like it. They're forked now

Ummm, whether they like it or not, they'll have to face the Nokia X OS now. Microsoft has started a new generation of smart phones, which are hybrid to the Android and Windows Phone.
Google can only face the reality.

Nokia (Microsoft) have unsurprisingly announced the Nokia X line will be discontinued. Wiki[^]

Microsoft's Internet Explorer has a bit of a brand identity issue on its hands. Because of decisions made many, many years ago, Internet Explorer 6 has left a sour taste in the mouths of developers and consumers. Even some of the older iterations like IE7 and 8 are still loathed by consumers but later iterations like IE10 and 11 have fared much better in terms of providing a positive web browsing experience. They could call it 'Google Chrome' by Microsoft

Would a turd by any other name stink so much?

Perhaps they could call it "Mic-key Mouse Explorer."

There was minor consternation in Internet engineering circles today, as the number of IPv4 networks worldwide briefly touched another magic “power of 2″ size limit. As it turns out, 512K (524,288 to be exact, or 2-to-the-19th power) is the maximum number of routes supported by the default TCAM configuration on certain aging hardware platforms. The End is Nigh (again)

How many IT people does it take to produce an application? Actually, let me rephrase that. How many IT people does it take to produce an application effectively and efficiently? For many organizations, the answer to the second question is less than the answer to the first because the traditional IT hierarchy includes layers of middle-manager decision makers that weigh everything down. Why not get rid of all middle-men then and require everyone to build their own computer and OS?

Researchers have been working on a prototype smartphone that can be recharged using only the sound waves that we encounter every day when walking down the street. Now you have another reason to scream at your phone

So now I'll have to frequent establishments that blast music at me to charge my phone?

It's been heralded the as future and celebrated as a beacon of technological advancement, but now analysts are branding the Internet of Things (IoT) as the most over-hyped technology in development today. At least until the next over-hyped technology

As a member of the OHTOTMC (Over Hyped Technology Of The Month Club) I can tell you that marketing people know no bounds when it comes to selling a product or idea.
Have you ever just looked at someone and knew the wheel was turning but the hamster was dead?
Trying to understand the behavior of some people is like trying to smell the color 9.

That club is so overhyped even Google does not know much about it.

Well, I for one look forward to the day when my toilet comes equipped with a Raspberry PI and uses unQLite to log every bowel movement and flush, which is transmitted to my local water purification center so that I get a bill exactly detailing my customized charges for the sanitation treatment plant. Also, my refrigerator will communicate with my toilet and adjust the grocery list to ensure that the solid waste density is kept within prescribed parameters based on my daily activity, which my bio-implant reports to the "healthy poo through healthy greens" club, and thereby adjusts the amount of fresh greens on said grocery list. Happily, because those greens are grown from the water reclaimed by every flush and fertilized by said poo, I will actually receive a small discount from the waste treatment center, also detailed on said bill.
Technology is going to be SO AWESOME!

Something that *would* be cool though is that after a power failure, the microwave, stove, clock radios, and coffee maker would get the latest time from the atomic clock on the internet...*that* would at least be something...
