As one might imagine, there’s plenty of shiny things to get excited about in BeatBots’ San Francisco office, one of which is suspended on a wall in between paintings of Keepon and his power-promoting British cousin, Zingy. Marek Michalowski gave us a look at the still-unnamed wall drawing robot he’s been fiddling around with. Still in its early stages, the ‘bot is supported by wires that also power it, using an Arduino brain to drag a dry erase marker across the white surface of the wall. Check out a quick video explanation after the break.

Firefox for Android can now be used on millions of additional devices due to added support for many smartphones running ARMv6 processors. Previously, the app was only supported on phones using ARMv7 processors, as well as running Android 2.2 or higher. This furthers Mozilla’s stated mission to “bring the Web to as many people as we can.”
According to the announcement, about 50-percent of the almost 500 million Android smartphones out there are running ARMv6 processors. The addition of support for the architecture gives Mozilla a massive jump in the number of potential users it has. In addition to the subset of ARMv6 support, Firefox for Android also brings with it some new accessibility features.
The first new accessibility feature is TalkBack integration, which is a screen reader that speaks to users and provides vibration feedback. With the integration, no extra settings need to be arranged or configured. Instead, the app will work seamlessly with TalkBack when enabled in Accessibility under the Settings menu in Android.
In addition, Firefox for Android has support for other Android accessibility features, including Explore by Touch and Gesture Navigation. This feature aids the visually impaired by providing speech, as well as sound and vibration feedback. Finally, you’ll find Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean support for H.264 video, AAC audio, and MP3 audio decoding.

Four California residents are suspected of plotting to wage “violent jihad,” by joining forces with al Qaeda and the Taliban in Afghanistan.
Federal authorities allege the men — two U.S. citizens and two legal permanent residents — planned to attack American military staff and bases overseas.
News of the arrest became public on Monday, when three of the suspects appeared in U.S. District Court in Riverside, Calif. The trio were charged with plotting to provide material support to terrorists, KTLA reported.
If you’re down for a round of crystal ball gazing into the future of Google Play, then you’d best thank Android Police, which recently tore apart the latest APK in attempt to learn what new features might be on deck. Most curiously, the mobile app suggests that pre-order functionality may work its way into Google Play, and while there’s nothing definitive about how it might be implemented, it goes without saying that the feature would make more sense for hardware rather than software. Not to stop there, it also appears that developers are working to integrate the app review system with Google+. As is, it seems that you may be required to be a Google+ member in order to review apps, and your name and picture will be publicly tied to these reviews. To learn more about these features and other potential new additions, be sure to hit up the source link below.

SAN FRANCISCO — No matter the play or formation, Jason Campbell looked left after almost every snap. His eyes opened wide, and his head turned fast – rarely ever for a receiver.
Campbell’s fill-in start for Jay Cutler turned into a painful outing Monday night, throwing two interceptions and getting sacked six times in the Chicago Bears’ 32-7 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Aldon Smith sacked Campbell 5 1/2 times alone.

Firefox on Android has been a luxury that devices running Google’s mobile OS with ARMv7 processors have had, but now Mozilla is broadening its browser’s horizons. Now, the latest version of Firefox’s mobile incarnation adds support for phones sporting ARMv6 processors with minimum speeds of 800mhz alongside at least 512MB of RAM.
