Google I/O 2009: A Wave of Innovation
Next up in the Google I/O 2009 is the second-day keynote. Android was tangential, but the announcement was pretty big, so forgive me for taking up some bandwidth here.

The first galaxy to have ever been conquered there resigned itself to the power of the [...]
