A little gem known as Android 4.0.4 wriggled its way onto the interweb last week, and while it was geared specifically for Sprint’s Nexus S 4G, a similar version has just cropped up for the CDMA / LTE Galaxy Nexus from Verizon . While it’s only available for tenacious users who’ve unlocked their bootloader, it seems that a host of improvements are on deck for the official release. First and foremost, the ROM is said to be noticeably faster, with the speed gains also extending to the web browser and the device’s boot time.

Hackers made good on a threat to post the source code for Symantec’s popular PCAnywhere antivirus product and threatened to post the remainder of the source code in their possession. Symantec said the hackers offered to stop releasing the company’s code if they were given money.

We already got a brief introduction to the Spark Linux-based tablet, but details were a little sparse. Since then, a few more key bits of info have been added to its Q&A page, which might help sway your purchasing decision. That KDE Plasma Active UI we knew it’d be sporting will stare out at you via a modest 800 x 480 screen, and there’s a 1.3 megapixel snapper tucked in alongside for video calling.

Hello there Mango fans, is YouTube just a little too lowbrow for you? Well, fret not, Vimeo is here to stream all the HD student shorts your little Microsoft-loving heart desires. The official app doesn’t just let you browse, search and view clips on the site, though — it completely integrates with your account, allowing you to upload HD video, tweak the details of your uploads and even check stats.

3D printing . Sure, that’s pretty neat, but there are other ways to make three dimensional objects at home. Roland’s new iModela, for example, is an “affordable” ($899) digital hobby mill that can carve 3D shapes, jewelry, textures and prototypes out of balsa wood, foam, modelling wax and plastics.

Usually, when passwords and personal information are exposed, it’s because someone hacked a company’s not-so-secure system. Motorola, however, managed to put people’s info at risk without such malfeasance when it failed to wipe the memory of a batch of refurbished Xooms . The tablets in question were sold by Woot.com between October and December of last year, and Moto is claiming that it made the mistake on only small number of slates.

You know the saying, second place is the first loser? Well, it looks like AT&T, which recently saw its attempt to absorb T-Mobile thwarted , is living up to that adage by petitioning the FCC to impose an “overly aggressive buildout” of Dish’s planned mobile network . In a recent filing to the Commission, the satco countered this request for ” LightSquared -like” requirements, defining its operation as a strictly retail endeavor, one that faces entirely different hurdles than that of its wholesale competitor

Some of you may have noticed that the Verizon version of the Galaxy Nexus is no longer listed as a supported, official developer device by Google. Despite rumors to the contrary, it doesn’t appear this has anything to do with the kerfuffle over Wallet , but instead centers around technical issues relating to the APK files required for CDMA connectivity and the signing of those libraries. Other devices have also disappeared from the support pages, including the Nexus S 4G and the Verizon-branded Xoom .
