Windows 8 Will Be a $39.99 Upgrade for XP and Above [In Brief]
Windows has always been pretty expensive compared to the competition, but Microsoft is taking steps to remedy that problem with Windows 8, rumored to be coming in the fall.

VLC for Android Beta Finally Arrives, Plays Almost Anything on Your Android Device [Video]
Android: If you've been waiting for news on an Android version of VLC, wait no longer. The media player finally launched an Android beta today, and it brings VLC's trademark play-anything goodness, multi-track subtitle support, and even whole-library management tools to Android devices, but be warned: the developers make no bones about the fact that it's a beta, and there's a lot of work to be done on it.

Beautiful! #CanadaDay
Reshared post from +Don Komarechka
It is with tremendous patriotism that I post this image on Canada Day, while traveling abroad in Istanbul.
I love Canada and this image embodies that; red maple leaves on a bed of freshly fallen snow. The image was technically challenging to take, as the leaves needed to be preserved in order to have them bright red during the winter. Then I needed the perfect winter day with fresh snow, no wind, and sunshine. That day came on January 11, 2009.
If you love Canada, please share this image. I'd love for it inspire Canadians around the world to get out there and enjoy our great country or simply take great pictures while thinking of home. That is exactly what I have been doing today 🙂
This image is still my favourite in my portfolio. Happy Canada Day everyone!

Liveness Check added to Jelly Bean Face Unlock security feature
We all remember how cool the new Face Unlock feature was for Android 4.o Ice Cream Sandwich when it was announced a while back. Today it’s still a nifty trick to show off to your iPhone buddies or at parties, but we all know that it’s far from foolproof. The fact that one could just simply use a still photo of the phone owner to access all their content was a little disappointing and relegated this security feature to basic social entertainment.
Well Google listened to the constructive critic…

Apple's injunction stopping Galaxy Nexus sales is shameful
I'm ashamed of Apple, and myself for giving anything to iPhone today. To celebrate iPhone's fifth anniversary, I asked BetaNews writers to offer missives based on their experience using the handset. We published Wayne Williams' story on Wednesday, another by Chris Wright early day and my own this afternoon. Two other stories are in the queue. We'll run them over the weekend, however, instead of today. There's no longer any sense of birthday celebration in these halls.
Today, US District Judge…

Would you buy a $299 Nexus 10 tablet? Report says it’s coming this year
Take this with a grain of salt — it is Digitimes we’re talking about — but according to a report from one of Google’s suppliers, the company will work to bring a 10-inch version of its Nexus tablet to market by the end of the year. The slate will presumably maintain many of that same traits that make the Nexus 7 such an attractive device: price, power and a few compromises. Namely, no back camera or removable storage.
The rumoured $299 number is extrapolated from the price of the current mode…

Adobe confirms it won't support Flash on Android 4.1, stops new Flash installs from Google Play on August 15th
Adobe was very public about dropping mobile Flash last fall. In case that wasn't clear enough, the developer just drew a line in the sand: Android 4.1 doesn't, and won't ever, get certification for Flash. The company is stopping short of saying that Flash won't run, but it's evident that Adobe won't help you if the web browser plugin doesn't install (or breaks in spectacular fashion) on that Nexus 7. Just to underscore the point, the firm is also halting new installations of Flash from Google…
