In-app payment support arrives on Android

Right on cue, Google has launched in-app payment support for Android applications. Developer testing began last week, and now many popular apps -- like the ones pictured above -- can begin charging users for add-on functionality, content, or whatever the heck else they feel is worthy of additional bits of your pocket change. If you were wondering, Google will take the same 30% cut that Apple takes from in-app purchases.

At last we can buy individual issues in Comics with minimal fuss!

A Massive 1930s Stove with an iPhone Brain [Cooking]

When the AGA cast-iron stove was first released in 1935, it took six hours so heat up. That's stayed the same up until today. But the new metal monster takes only eight minutes—and fires up with a touchscreen. More »

Windows 8 wallpaper available to download, Jupiter and Twin UI spotted

windows 8 wallpaper
With Windows 8 milestone 3 now up for grabs for select Microsoft Connect partners, it's inevitable that leaked bits and pieces will start popping up around the Web. In fact, the first "official" wallpaper image from the still-brewing OS is already making the rounds.

As you can see, it's got a similar feel to the good ol' Windows 7 default background, but features a more subdued smattering of cerulean hues. Those of you who want to use the Windows 8 wallpaper on your current desktop can download it from our file dump.

A few other details have been revealed, too. According to ZDNet's source, the Windows 8 Jupiter libraries and Twin UI are starting to take shape -- though all that's been located thus far are "[various files] scattered throughout the OS" and the aptly-named twinui.dll.

The Antisocial Social Networking Bill

Facebook is having a tough month. First, it was revealed that the company hired a PR firm to portray competitor Google in a negative light, and now it is facing an even worse scenario: government regulation. The Social Networking Privacy Act, introduced into the California Senate, is a huge challenge to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, who has argued that making personal data public is the new "social norm."

IOGEAR 2.4GHz Multimedia Mini Keyboard Review

Remember the days when your TV had a dial that you turned to tune in the three channels you could watch?  There was no remote (other than us kids), but then there were no peripherals attached to the TV, either.   Watching TV today is much more complex with DVDs, Blu-ray, internet-connected televisions, multimedia players, and [...]

ASUS ramping up Eee Pad Transformer production, says they'll be easier to find in the 'coming weeks'

We couldn't help but notice that a lot of you want to buy the Eee Pad Transformer; it's just that your quest for one is turning up dry. We asked ASUS for an update on the shortage and the company said it's cranking 'em out at a furious pace to meet strong demand. Here's what a PR rep had to say:

We are ramping production every week to address the supply concerns, including almost daily air shipments into North America. We expect the supply line to improve significantly over the coming weeks.

So there you have it: if you live on the North American continent, at least, you'll soon be able to find an elusive Transformer -- and just in time for a much-appreciated Android 3.1 update.
