Greetings, friends. I hope you all had a wonderful 4th of July and for those that joined our Google+ Event, it was a blast. Today, might have been a little skimpy on the news, but for all the articles that almost slipped through the cracks, we’ve place them here, so that you wouldn’t miss a thing. Have to admit, I’m a little jelly when it comes to all the goodies Google employees get to own (see article below), but that’s what I get for not becoming a software engineer. Thanks, mom. Oh, and that Android botnot security alert thing that got made it all over the internet today? Yeah, turns out the report wasn’t as accurate as everyone first thought. Have a great night, everyone!
