Make no mistakes about it, your lockscreen is good at keeping honest people honest, but a truly dedicated thief is bound to find his way around it. One of the wilder ways to do so has recently been demonstrated by researchers who cracked through a Galaxy Nexus's security by throwing it in a freezer. Read More >>

Motorola couldn't make it work with its Atrix, but apparently London-based Canonical thinks it can do better. You'll soon be able to get Ubuntu on a phone, which you can then dock and get a full Ubuntu desktop experience. I'll believe it when I see it. Read More >>

Let's be frank here – life is a bit of a pain in the arse isn't it? What with all the people and stuff and everything. If only you could dole out some instant firearm justice whenever it all got too much for you – without getting arrested or anyone getting killed of course. Read More >>

In the other court battle between Apple and Samsung, Apple is accusing the Galaxy Nexus of violating Apple's "universal interface for retrieval of information in a computer system" patent with its Universal Search. Samsung is saying Apple shouldn't feel threatened by the Galaxy Nexus because the sales of the phone are so "minuscule". Really. Read More >>

Last week, Apple secured an injunction against the sale of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus by claiming that the quick search on the phone's Android OS violates its patent for a "universal interface for retrieval of information in a computer system." Google's got a "fix" coming, but you're not going to like it. Read More >>

Right after announcing its latest version of Android at its developer conference last night, Google has now dumped a version of the OS online for a select few users to download and install. But it's for Galaxy Nexus owners only at the moment. Read More >>
It seems Google's getting a bit leak happy at the moment. First big G gave us a sneak peek at what Jelly Bean will look like; now it's confirmed that Android 4.1 will be here "soon", and on the Galaxy Nexus first. Read More >>

Remember Microsoft’s “Smoked by Windows Phone” promotion? It’s a pretty arrogant “challenge” that pits any other phone against a Windows Phone in a race to pull-up information like the weather. Apparently it’s just backfired, badly – a Galaxy Nexus just smoked a Windows Phone.
