AirPlay No Longer Exclusive to Apple TV Thanks to Airtight

AirPlay No Longer Exclusive to Apple TV Thanks to Airtight: "One advantage Apple TV holds over Google’s television platform is access to the wide array of media offered through iTunes. Thanks to a rogue developer that isn’t such a problem anymore. Airtight is an app for Google TV that brings the functionality of Apple AirPlay to the Android-based system and allows users to stream content directly from their iTunes library on their home computer to their HD television set."

Carrier IQ Detector - Android Market

Carrier IQ Detector - Android Market: "Determine whether or not your phone contains Carrier IQ mobile diagnostic software.
Security researchers have recently determined that a number of consumer mobile devices contain pre-installed software from Carrier IQ. While this software appears to be designed to help mobile network operators improve coverage through metrics tracking, it does not provide a clear opt-out path for users. Additionally, it can be difficult for non-technical users to determine whether or not their handset is affected. We've developed the Carrier IQ Detector to aid in this process in an effort to keep mobile users fully informed about what their phone is doing.

Beacon from Griffin Turns Your Android Phone into a Universal Remote

Beacon from Griffin Turns Your Android Phone into a Universal Remote: "For $69.99 the Beacon is a small device you place near your home theater setup. It has a built-in IR blaster and does just about nothing on its own. The magic happens when you connect a smartphone via Bluetooth and fire up a universal remote app created by Dijit Media. The result promises to be an all-encompassing solution to remote woes. The concept has been tried before to various degrees of success. Upcoming Motorola tablets will have built-in IR transmitters while Logitech’s Haromny system (built-in to Google TV) also provides a simple way to control multiple devices from a smartphone. The Beacon is a great concept but it creates yet another device to buy and connect. Ultimately it will live and die by the app that makes the magic happen"

IntoNow is like GetGlue with a heavy dose of Shazam [Hands On Video]

I'm impressed.

IntoNow is like GetGlue with a heavy dose of Shazam [Hands On Video]: "Yahoo just released IntoNow, which is another TV and Movie social sharing service, but with a nice twist. When you are watching a show or movie, you can hold your phone up, and within a few seconds it will tell you the name of show with season and episode information so you can share exactly what you are watching on Facebook or Twitter. It even gives you the link to IMDB so you can get more information. This is reason enough to download the free app just to see it work its magic. I tested it on 4 different shows/movies in our hands on video and you can see how impressive it really is. It is as efficient as Shazam is with music."

Wi-fi security concern

Personal data vulnerable to security exploit on 99 percent of Android devices:

"What happens is your handset stores a token known as authToken on your handset after authenticating a service such as Facebook or Twitter. The token is stored for 14 days, allowing users to re-access the service easily. But it is this authToken that can be easily exploited using a bit of old-fashioned deception. A data thief need only to set up an innocent looking, unencrypted wireless network, give it a name that would encourage you to connect and feel safe on said network (such as starbucks, attwifi, etc.), and then snatch up the authTokens attempting to connect to services over the network. Whoever has these authTokens can then gain access to your various accounts."
