Android Ice Cream Sandwich: When Is It Coming To LG, Samsung, Motorola, HTC, Sony Devices

I'm not always a big Apple fan, but this is one of the things they have done right. Being able to install the new update on an old phone on the day it comes out is a great improvment­. So what if my old 3Gs (before I sold it) didn't get all of the new hardware features, at least it got the software ones.



One of the things I like about Android is the cheaper phones and the breadth of devices you can choose from. But at the same time, you get what you pay for. My Ascend II is nice, but has minimal RAM and drive space, and I am constantly fighting for space on it. I will probably never see ICS on it unless I wait for some dev to port CM9. (watching the forums weekly but not holding my breath). I like the face that I was to buy the phone for $100 with no contract, but again, you get what you pay for.

Thousands Of Google Images Infected With Malware

-=- This post is in reply to a comment on the Huffington Post article linked at the bottom of this post-=-

There are multiple reasons that ISPs don't run antispyware/antimalware before traffic reaches customers, many of them probably legal. Like Spifflous mentions, they can do DPI (Deep Packet Inspection­) to see what is in the traffic, but this would probably have privacy issues. How many people want their ISP sniffing their email traffic for Spam or malicious links when it means they also see all of your Banking Documents or other informatio­n in them that you wouldn't want them to see.



ISPs could also run a black list on these sites. It takes a lot of work to keep up with the criminals and keep a constantly changing black list. That said, there are companies that do it. I use OpenDNS which uses crowd sourcing for it's blacklist. I like having control over it. The next question would be who controls the blacklist, and what do you do if your site is wrongfully blocked. How about if your site is correctly blocked because of malware due to being hacked, but you fix it. Who determines what needs to be done to have it unblocked. At what point does blocking sites become censorship­.



If you want a technical reason, DPI slows down internet traffic. Technology is getting better and there are devices that can do DPI in real time, but the cost more. If ISPs did do this, who do you think would end up paying for it?
