Google and Epic Cancel Settlement; Third-Party App Stores Coming To Google Play

An anonymous reader quotes a report from Ars Technica: Big changes are coming to Android apps, but they're not the changes Google wanted.

It did not, however, win an objective global title for the “most trusted education system.” No authoritative international league table measures that claim. The more defensible point is also the more interesting one. At ... Read more Read more
