Ever since we first heard a hands-on description of the Samsung Nexus S talk of it being rather curvy has been floating around.

While Samsung is bent on world domination in the mobile device market, early reports are that its Galaxy Tab isn’t quite living up to sales expectations.

Rovio’s recent update to Angry Birds provided a lot of good — fourty-five new levels of good — but it also brought along some not so lovely elements. New ads showed up right in the upper corner, covering up vital screen real estate, and overall the game felt laggy and jittery. As with every Android [...]
