   If you're comfortable running unofficial ROMs, I'm pretty sure ROM developers will have multi-user support running on phones as soon as they get the source code.

   Unlike the previously built-in Java, Oracle's Java plugin doesn't seem to work with Chrome on the Mac due to Chrome being 32 bit. Anyone know a workaround?

   With Uber you get an actual map of the route taken on your receipt, so it seems like a driver trying to pull a scam would be quickly discovered.

    Except Uber isn't a cab, it's a private car service, which is generally less regulated. Rates for private car services are generally negotiated between the driver and passenger, and if both parties agree to use Uber's GPS-based software, I

    My friend with a Verizon Galaxy Nexus who had previously sideloaded the Wallet.apk says that his Wallet application updated from the Play Store today with the new features.

    It's possible that Google is getting a percentage of the transaction fee that is paid by the merchant when the 'virtual' Google Wallet Mastercard is used, and then applying that money to the transaction fee that they have to pay to charge y

    I haven't fully reviewed the patents in question, but the oldest looks to have a filing date of sometime in late 2000. I would think that there has to be some prior art out there for many of the claims of this patent. For example, the sport

    I'm not sure if a central patents court would necessarily fix things. The US already has a central patent appeals court ('the Federal Circuit'), and if anything, it has strengthened the rights of patent holders during the time it has been i

    Indeed. T-Mobile's Wi-Fi Calling feature is hands down a better solution than femtocells. Being able to use your phone while in someone's basement always seems to amase people when they see it. Not to mention the ability to "roam for free"

    DC's taxis are really the worst, so it's not surprising that they are fighting back so hard to kill a perceived threat to their monopoly. Still, I haven't used Uber much due to the high prices compared to taxis, but the new lower-priced Ube

    I live in NYC, I use foursquare almost daily for keeping up with friends, and for getting venue recommendations. Specials are a nice bonus as well. However, I've tried using foursquare in smaller towns and it wasn't nearly as useful.
