We’re getting close to the end of the week, and as we wind down our day, we have the Android Overload. These are all the news articles that have accumulated from throughout the day, but didn’t quite make it onto our front page. Lots of app updates, releases and miscellaneous Android/Google/mobile related news. There’s always a few good left overs in here. Let me point your attention to the article from The Atlantic where Judge Posner talks about America’s broken patent system. Good read.
