Googly Eyes: Google's new Gaze patent monitors what you are looking at
Aug 14th 2013, 18:00, by Loie Favre

Google gives you beautiful eyes. Or rather, you give Google beautiful eyes, whether you want to or not. This is at least the vision of their new patent which the internet giant has recently announced. Devices like Glass could monitor your eyes and by doing so, learn a lot about you and your personal life. The implications are fascinating - and far-reaching.

Motorola Trade Up Program adds new devices
Aug 14th 2013, 17:33, by Sterling Keys

Motorola has had a trade up program for awhile that would give you $100 dollars towards your new Motorola purchase if you’re got an older device that is working and you want to give up. Sure, it’s only available in the United States right now, but it’s definitely something to consider if you’ve wanted to upgrade and needed a little incentive to do so.

Brazil sues Samsung over working conditions
Aug 14th 2013, 17:53, by Sterling Keys

It seems that Samsung has been taking a peak out of Apple’s playbook over the last little while: taking a large lead in the global market for high end smartphones, making good use of marketing strategies, and now, prompting allegations of labor violations.  The government of Brazil has recently filed a lawsuit against Samsung in the turn of 110 million dollars over working conditions in one of their Brazilian smartphone assembly plants.

Google Working On Package File Error Fix
Aug 14th 2013, 18:14, by Anthony Muzonzini

For the last week now, Google Play has been affected by an irritating error that shows up out of nowhere. Upon downloading or updating some apps, users are being bombarded with a “Package file is invalid” error. The funny thing about this is that it really doesn’t matter which app you are downloading or updating, it seems to just happen at random.

Notif Pro hits v1.0 with new reminders functionality
Aug 14th 2013, 17:59, by Andrew Martonik

Notif Pro

A different take on the notification system.

Notifications have a renewed sense of importance since the improvements to the system in Jelly Bean, and while most apps use them as an entrance to another interaction with their app, Notif uses them in a bit of a different way. The main idea of Notif is to be a tool for you to create custom notifications of any type and display those in a number of ways to fit your needs.

Notif is a new way of thinking outside the box about notifications on Jelly Bean devices, and with its latest update to version 1.0 it is adding even more functionality and polish to an already useful app. Hang with us after the break where we spend a little more time looking at the new features.

Samsung Hennessy announced, Android flip phone with dual displays
Aug 14th 2013, 18:09, by Dima Aryeh

Flip phones have been on a sharp decline since smartphones have come out. Most are more akin to feature phones, barely able to access the internet. But it looks like Samsung wants flip phones to make a comeback, at least in China. They have announced the Samsung Hennessy, an Android-powered flip phone with dual displays running 4.1 Jelly Bean.

On the front, you see one of its two 3.3-inch 320 x 480 displays with three capacitive buttons at the bottom. In this mode, it acts like a normal smartphone. Flipped open, it has another identical display and a large keypad at the bottom. It looks very retro and very much like an old school flip phone with a smartphone twist.

The specs, as you can probably expect, aren’t very impressive. The device is powered by a 1.2GHz quad core paired with 1GB of RAM, and it has a 5MP camera, 1,500 mAh battery, microSD slot and the various wireless connections of modern devices. It also has dual GSM/CDMA radios, so the device can be used on any China carrier.

We probably won’t see this device stateside, and it may never even come out of Asia. I’m not sure if we’re missing much, but it would be cool to at least spend a few days with it. What do you think of the Samsung Hennessy? Is it a useful device or a pointless retro design? Leave a comment!

CyanogenMod 10.2 nightlies now available, bring Android 4.3 goodness
Aug 14th 2013, 18:04, by Dima Aryeh

Android 4.3 has been out for a good while for Nexus and Google Play edition devices, and it seems that people have been enjoying the new features and massive fixes for the bugs Android 4.2 introduced. Per the usual, ROMs have been flying around based on 4.3. But what about the most popular ROM in the world?

CyanogenMod likes to wait a while before releasing nightlies. They have a lot of devices to maintain, and they like to get the important ones working well and release them all at once. Luckily, the nightlies are really not very late at all. They are now available to download for a multitude of devices. If you want to grab them, hit the source link!

Keep in mind that these are nightlies. Not only are they cutting edge builds, they’re builds of brand new software. It’s quite possible that they’ll have quite a few bugs. Flash these at your own risk, but don’t forget to enjoy and tell us how the ROM runs. It’s always exciting to see a new ROM come out, and I for one can’t wait to flash it.
