By: Hillel Fuld

Truth be told, I kinda love putting these posts together, it helps me feel productive by seeing exactly how many posts I have written in the last week or month. The fact that people keep telling me they love them and use them as a resource to catch up on all the technology news they missed, well that is just the icing on the cake.

Anyway, here you go, folks, some of the most exciting tech news of the past ten days as told through the posts I have written on various sites:

 

Google

Android Dominates the Market… IN MOBILE MALWARE!: Many doubt the reliability of these numbers, but if they are even partially accurate, Google better get their Android act together.

Google Music Launches With the Cloud, Social, and Artists in Mind: Should iTunes be worried? Well, no, because software doesn’t have emotions, but that aside, Google Music looks pretty promising.

Google Updates iOS App and Brings the Mojo Back to iPad Search: Pretty sure this is the nicest Google iPad app out there. What a UI!

Apple

8 Valuable Lessons Steve Jobs Left as Part of His Legacy: This is my first book review ever and I wrote it just as I started reading Steve Jobs’ biography for the second time. Nope, not kidding…

Dominos Launches iPad App/Campaign, Fulfills Every Kid’s Dream: This app will amaze you, watch the video.

Mind-Controlled Siri: Maybe A Hoax, but Kinda Makes You Wonder: Real or Fake?

Seven of Steve Jobs’ and Steve Wozniak’s Craziest PranksWow, Jobs and Wozniak were quite the trouble makers… I guess you gotta be to change the world they way they did!

Amazon

You Knew it Was Coming! The Nook Tablet vs Kindle Fire Drop Test (VIDEO): Oh, come ON! You know you love to watch drop tests!

Samsung

New Samsung Ad Takes on Apple Fanboys and It’s Hilarious: Great advertising work by Samsung but wasn’t it once illegal to directly attack your competition in ads?

Microsoft

Windows Phone Marketplace Has Experts Modestly Optimistic: While many industry experts are putting their eggs in the Microsoft basket, the world’s largest software company has its work cut out for it if it is going to make an impact on the mobile space the way it did on the PC market.

Rovio

Angry Birds Are Everywhere, Even on The SimpsonsThe Angry Birds phenomenon, as I like to call it, has gotten so ridiculous lately, these birds are EVERYWHERE.

 Angry Birds Comes to Life: OK, games, toys, cakes, pizzas, that is all fine. But Angry Birds in real life? Really?

Facebook

HUGE! Facebook and Skype Join Forces (Again) to Make the World Even Smaller: This is pretty big news as far as global communication ad video calls are concerned.

 Random

The Power of Words: A Video Every Human Needs to Watch: One of the most powerful videos ever, highly recommended.
