- In the lawsuit brought by Epic Games, a San Francisco jury has unanimously found that Google's Play Store violated antitrust law in control both access to content and payment options. (Ars Technica)
Which is great news for Epic Games - and other mobile content creators - except that two years after Epic won a similar but narrower victory against Apple, that decision is still going through the appeals process.

- Speaking of mobile content and antitrust violations Beeper Mini, the iMessage app for Android, is back again, just days after Apple killed it. (Beeper)
You need to use it with an Apple ID for now (a registered email address) rather than directly with your phone number, but they're working on restoring that functionality.
Since Apple is likely to try to break it again, they've made the app free as well.
- Looking to spend over $4000 for a four-port 100Mb Ethernet switch this Christmas? Yes? Stop that right now. (Tom's Hardware)
You can get a five-port gigabit switch for under $10 these days, and this thing is worse in every possible way.
- The Aurga Viewer is a remote control device for anything with an HDMI port and USB. (Tom's Hardware)
That could be a PC, a games console, an AV transceiver, or even a toaster.
It doesn't require any software to be installed on the device you are controlling, just plug it in and wreak havoc.
