Nexus One Over-the-Air Update is here!
Last night Nexus One devices were busy downloading the Nexus One OTA update to 2.1-update 1. This new update is in hopes of fixing the bruised name of Google over the ‘Spotty 3g’ issue and ‘WebConnect’ error that causes the phone to become unprovisioned from the 3G network until a restart.
SpeedTest on Google’s Nexus One and How-To

Skinomi skin and LuxMo case review
You spent the money, now it’s time to protect your investment.

We can’t remember a bloodier beating since Microsoft first unveiled its Zune in 2006.
He goes on to compare the nook and Zune just as we have seen before with many pundits that still believe the iPod and Zune are the same.
Man accused of raping senior citizen arrested
A South Florida man accused of raping a woman while she was working at a food pantry has been arrested.
Police said 22-year-old Javerros Wright attacked the 75-year-old victim outside the Pantry of Broward along Northeast Third Avenue and Sixth Street early Thursday morning.
The Pantry of Broward is a charity for senior citizens. "This is one of the few sanctuaries that they have in order to get help. To think that one of our volunteers, a senior, was attacked, it just makes my blood boil," said Bruce Harris of the charity.
The victim is believed to be one of the founders of the organization.
