If you look at these interactive lists of Google's thousands of open issues on Chrome, the number of "Stars" show how many times developers and users have indicated their concern over each issue. Issues with the Status "Assigned", "Started", etc. are the issues that Google has decided to work...

If you look at Google's 10's of thousands of open issues on Android, the number of "Stars" shows how many times developers and users have indicated their concern over each issue. Issues with the Status "Assigned", "Needs Info", "Reviewed", etc. are the issues that Google has decided to work on...

The ClutchPad Launcher currently at a discounted price on Google Play Store can toggle back and forth between 2 apps and can do many other last app and favorite app launches. You can put a small trigger button anywhere along the edge of the screen. The button is always visible. Tapping and...

Good tip! I back up frequently then restore the old version if I don't like an update. But this week when I didn't like the update to the X-plore file manager Google Play Store would not allow me to re-install an older version. So I'm stuck with the Ice Cream Sandwich updated version that has...
