What’s the Best On-Line Portfolio Manager to Track my Investments, part 5 of 5

It's been a week since we last talked, and I bet you were waiting with tense anticipation for the final instalment! Well, it would seem that my birthday celebrations, mother's day, and the fact my Bachelors of Arts degree left me with absolutely no artistic ability what-so-ever have come together against me.

So here, in all its glory - but without any cool infographics - is the conclusion. Enjoy!

Flipboard for Android leaks

So Flipboard for Android was supposed to be an exclusive on Samsung Galaxy S III but it didn't take long for an intrepid S III owner to pluck the APK from it's comfortable surroundings and throw out into the wild for all to enjoy!

Who won in Google vs. Oracle?

The headline over at Boy Genius Report is Jury says Google infringed on Oracle’s copyrights and over at Mobile Syrup it's Jury reaches split decision in initial Google/Oracle case while at the Verge they say Jury finds Google infringed Oracle copyrights in partial verdict; Google moves for mistrial and over at Phone Area they have Jury renders partial verdict copyright infringement in Oracle v Google case and finally Reuters wrote Google infringed Oracle Java copyrights: jury.

What's most interesting though is in other news about Google there's plenty of stuff besides the lawsuit. But the Oracle news is all lawsuit all the time!

So whether they won or lost I don't think Google really cares, they've already moved on! Oracle on the otherhand, doesn't seem to have anything else to talk about.

In this part I'll see what they have to offer.
