The Latest Google Android OS Android M to be Released Later in May Posted: 08 May 2015 02:09 PM PDT Say hello to Android M, the latest and the greatest Google Android Operating system that is to be revealed later this month. While most of the droid heads out there are expecting the Android 5.0 Lollipop update for their smartphones like the second coming, Google is set to launch the next generation Android OS which will be detailed at the 2015 Google I/O developer event that will take place in Frisco. The announcement of the future version of Google’s Android M was obvious for everybody taking a closer look at the Google I/O 2015 schedule in the “Android for Work Update” section, where it clearly says, let me quote from there “Android M is bringing the power of Android to all kinds of workplaces.” Thing is that Google removed all mentions about the upcoming Android M from the I/O official website since then, so it looks like they want to keep it secret, as a surprise of some sort for Android aficionados. Too late Google, you were busted!

US Court Rules NSA Snooping Illegal Posted: 08 May 2015 01:49 PM PDT If you are a follower of this website, you probably know that I covered the news about Edward Snowden’s whistle blowing regarding the illegal NSA spying program which collects data about tens of millions of American citizens since day one. Obviously, the NSA not only spies on domestic affairs and US citizens, it’s a world-wide phenomena (see Germany’s Chancellor Merkel spying by the NSA) Today’s awesome news is that the NSA’s surveillance program was ruled to be illegal by a New York Federal Court and the US lawmakers were ordered to shut down the respective program or to replace it with something else, i.e. a legal/transparent program instead of indiscriminate spying of everybody, without a court order and despite of the US constitution’s amendments (the fourth to be more precise). The New York Circuit of Appeals court released on Thursday (today) a 97 pages in depth report/ruling in which it was stated by all the 3 judges that the manner in which the NSA collects phone records and “meta-data” from millions of Americans is illegal, and that happened in wake of Ed Snowden’s revelations which made the ACLU fill its lawsuit in 2013. Today’s ruling is the end result of Edward Snowden’s whistleblowing and the respective lawsuit filed by ACLU and states that the mass collection of phone records/meta-data is contrary even to the Patriot Act/section 215 (which dismantles the US constitution but that’s another story all together).
