Official Android Bug Tracker Overrun With Hundreds Of Spam Posts

Take a look at the official bug tracking system for the Android Open Source Project this morning, and you're not going to like what you see. Someone has been positively flooding the system with [My Aunt Made $100,000 In Six Minutes From Home And Bought A BMW Blimp] hundreds of spam messages. The vast majority seem to be advertising questionable services like [LOSE UP TO SIX TONS AND 400 DRESS SIZES IN 1 WEEK CLICK HERE] astrology, "black magic," and "love marriage specialists." A lot of it mentions "Vashikaran," a form of mysticism that appears to encompass all three.

HTC CES 2015 teaser reveals a new Desire device is on the horizon

HTC typically doesn’t make the biggest of splashes at CES. In fact, often times than not the company doesn’t have anything new to announce or show. But it looks like they could be changing that with the upcoming 2015 edition of the annual global tech conference.

The company began teasing CES musings over at their Weibo account with an image with text that says “Always Desire More” lighting up the skies of Las Vegas.

The text below that city’s skyline says to expect activity on both January 5th and January 6th. The former is the day before the show “officially” kicks off so HTC might make the initial announcement there, while the next day is when we’ll first be able to get our eyes and/or paws on it.

So it’s pretty clearly a new addition to HTC’s long-standing Desire lineup, but what? You can immediately cross the HTC “Hima” off your list: that’s likely HTC’s big Mobile World Congress showstopper and potential successor to the HTC One M8.

The rumor mill hasn’t been ripe with Desire news since the HTC Desire EYE and the latest entrants in the Desire 800 series were revealed, so it’s anyone’s guess as to what we’ll actually see. Only one way to know, we suppose, and that’s taking our butts to CES in the next couple of weeks (which you can be sure we’ll do).

Download: Give your device a new look with this massive collection of 675 Lollipop-inspired wallpapers

Those looking to add a bit of extra modern flare to their Android devices can do so with a massive new collection of over 675 wallpapers. A vast majority of them play on the look and feel set by the Material Design standard and Android 5.0 Lollipop’s eye-popping UI.

The art style displayed on these wallpapers is reminiscent of Google through and through — clean lines and contours, flat topography and an explosion of color are all well-represented. Here are just a few of our favorites from the bunch:

And a whole lot more can be had on the Google+ page of J. Amourette, an AUDI employee who we imagine is rather enthusiastic about his company’s new partnership with Google to get Android Auto off the ground. Let us know if you’ll be grabbing any of these.
