Will Verizon be able to set Microsoft Bing as the only search engine on theDroid browser search box? Afterall, Droid phones are based on Google’s Android platform.

Well, this could be something the competitors can use against Verizon. Thanks Verizon for sending those over-the-air updates to your favorite smartphone.

vlc

The news of possible end to VLC development for Mac OS X caused quite a stir today. Based the Forums post, at this point there are no active VLC developers for Mac OS X.

Developers who can donate their time are desperately needed to keep this project going.
