BT Has Sued Google For Almost All Their Services
In the latest lawsuit against Google, British telecom provider, BT has sued Google for nearly everything they do. This mass patent infringement case by BT states that just about Google does infringes upon some older patents BT owns, which of course will result in months of dispute, back and forth. Products include Google Search, Android, AdSense, Gmail, Google+, Google Docs, Google Music, and Google Maps (yeah, it’s pretty nuts). It’s time to see where this transpires.

If you’ve patiently been waiting for the Ice Cream Sandwich Android 4.0 update for your GSM Nexus S, then today’s your lucky day — the update starts rolling out today, with all users receiving the update by the end of the month. As for Sprint 4G Nexus S users: the update should be coming, but at a later date (perhaps this year, we haven’t heard anything concrete on this bit of information, however). That all being said, Android 4.0 is going to operate a a smaller resolution on the Nexus S (800×480 compared to the Galaxy Nexus’ 1280×720) but it still should look impressive.
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim has been the basis for plenty of memes right now in the Internet and just about everyday is the 1st game played by people who use Steam. Well, it turns out that Skyrim is the fastest selling title on Steam, ever. That’s compared to Assassin’s Creed: Revelation, Modern Warfare 3, you name it, Skyrim has beaten it, fair and square.
The first DLC for Battlefield 3 includes 4 new massive maps with newer, more intense visuals, and is a overall better-tuned game, with more weapons and vehicles, and the same awesome game modes. After just playing for aroud 15 minutes, I can say I’m dazed and amazed by Back To Karkand. For those that pre-ordered the base game, the DLC is free, however for those who haven’t, it’ll cost you $15/1,200 Microsoft Points for all platforms (PC, Xbox 360, and PS3). So, who’s ready to fight on the Battlefield?
The Colin McRae Rally videogame series has always been about realism and simulation of rally racing, almost always under the watchful eye of the Codemasters. But now in their upcoming game, DiRT Showdown seems to be anything but. The only way to explain this is if you watch the video a the source link, and see just how crazy it may turn out to be for PC, Windows, and Mac in May of 2012. Via: 
It’s about that time. Verizon’s Galaxy Nexus launches with 4G LTE on the 15th of December – tomorrow, for $299.99 on a 2-year agreement. Specs include a massive 4.65-inch 720p HD Super AMOLED display, a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, 32GB of storage, 1GB of RAM, a 5-megapixel camera with 1080p HD video recording support and an 1,850 mAh battery with CDMA and 4G LTE connectivity (resulting in a thicker casing than the GSM version but no matter). Best of all, the Galaxy Nexus sports the newest version of Android — 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. This is an amazingly good buy for the best Android handset on the market, so far.
I don’t know about the reader, but I’ve never heard of an attractive phone for $50 that has HSPA+ “4G” speeds up to 14.4MBps, a 3.7-inch ClearBlack display, 1.4GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, 512MB RAM, 8GB of storage, 5 megapixel rear camera with single LED flash, and with WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity. It’s a sweet little package for Windows Phone 7.5 Mango. It’ll show up next year on the 11th of January, coupled with apps like Drive, MS Office, ESPN, T-Mobile TV and Netflix. All is good and well I suppose. Press release after the break.
It seems that almost every year now, when the free VoIP service in Google’s Gmail app ends for the desktops, they just renew it for another year.
