Path vs. Instagram on Android
I recently went through the exercise of finding a replacement for Instagram, when they sold-out to Facebook.

Sony making it easier for developers to build custom ROMs for Xperia S
This is exactly what I expected from Android when it was first announced, before it was released, and then we saw what the manufacturers were doing and where the carriers were taking it.

FAA Reviewing Policy on Electronic Gadgets
So they’re finally going to considering letting us do what plenty of people already do: get in one last e-mail as the plane accelerates down the runway! How many times have you been getting on to a flight and seen the people around you tapping away on their Blackberry? I was always told they have…
