Zynga Zombifies Mountain View’s Android Statue In Preparation For ZombieSmash Global Launch.

This morning, Google employee Steven Le posted a photo of the Android statue outside his office, which looked a bit stranger than usual:

While the statue’s makeover was mysterious at first glance, a press release and accompanying video from Zynga soon clarified the situtation:

ZombieSmash!, powered by Zynga’s proprietary and extremely bloody SplatterEngine, includes more than 30 upgrades and “special weapons” (i.e. asteroids, wrecking balls and liquid nitrogen). Additionally, the game comes with four different game modes; here’s Zynga’s description of them:

Campaign Mode: Challenges players to survive for over 31 intense days against the mounting zombie threat and another 30 nights in the Camp Nowhere campaign
Endless Siege Mode: Confronts players with a never-ending zombie assault – hold out as long as possible, racking up an ever-rising body count
Sandbox Mode: Gives players all the tools to rain destruction down on those stinking, moaning zombies without any of the peril
Bonus Nights: Smash and destroy zombies in new ways. Unlock this special mode through extended gameplay and by using your braaains!

Again, ZombieSmash! will be available in Google Play later this week; for a “limited time,” it will cost $.99, and after that the price will be raised to $1.99. To sweeten the deal, live wallpapers will be included, and the game will be tablet-optimized. For more info, check out the press release below or the Play page for the Canadian edition of the game.

Samsung Announces 1.4GHz Exynos 4 Quad: A Quad-Core Processor Destined To Power The “Next Galaxy Smartphone”

Completely out of the blue Samsung has officially outed its next generation system-on-a-chip (SoC). The Exynos 4 Quad is very much what it sounds like: an updated version of the previous dual-core Exynos chip with four cores instead of two. Each core will be clocked to 1.4GHz, much like the last generation, and it is still going to be based on ARM’s Cortex-A9 architecture.

Samsung would be moving to Cortex-A15 to more adequately compete with Snapdragon S4 and its Krait cores. Perhaps the 32nm manufacturing process, High-K Gate technology, dynamic voltage control, and advanced power management in the Exynos 4 Quad will make up for that.

DroidUPLOAD.com is finally back online after almost 7 day(s) of down time. We originally hosted the site through a host that does not support image hosting, file uploading/sharing sites so we were forced to move to a new host. All databases, files, member accounts have been restored!

DroidUPLOAD.com is a file sharing service for Android developers, Theme developers, ROM developers, Application developers – basically everything Android related. We noticed tons of developers files have been deleted from a few of the most popular file sharing sites such as (Megaupload, Multiupload, FileServer, FileSonic). We needed to create something where Android users could upload their own content, where their content is safe from being deleted on other file sharing sites that allow pirated files.

- Files must be Android related
- No PAID applications, games, themes, etc are allowed
- Creating mirrors for other sites are allowed, however you must get approval from the original developer to create a mirror.
- Maximum file size upload for non premium members is 250 MB
- File’s that are password protected will be deleted automatically since we cannot determine the contents of the packaged file.

We check files daily we will remove all content without warning if it violates our terms of service. If content is still uploaded that is not allowed we will ban you from our servers.

Start uploading and share your content!

While this is most definitely a real device, it’s possible that it could be something different than the GSIII altogether, though I honestly doubt that Samsung would pack this kind of hardware into anything other than its highest-end device

• 4.6-inch 1280×720 Super AMOLED display
• 1.4GHz quad-core processor
• 1GB RAM
• 8MP rear camera
• 16GB built-in storage, microSD card slot
• NFC
• 2,050mAh battery
• Android 4.0

So, what do you think? He states in the video that the design itself could change, as “Samsung has used a fake outer shell designed to ensure the machine isn’t exposed until it is unveiled,” so we’ll have to see what the ‘real’ device will look like in a little less than two weeks. Speaking of, when Engadget asked Samsung for a comment, this is what they had to say:

We will be able to tell you more at the 2012 Samsung Mobile Unpacked.

Three days ago, Sprint finally announced pre-order and availability details for its version of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. It turns out that the demand was more than expected, as the Now Network is completely sold out of its pre-order inventory.

The device was announced to start hitting the shelves beginning on April 22. So, you might want to show up early if you plan on scoring this device on launch day.

This update appears to be nothing more than a incremental Gingerbread update (which brings the device up to Android version 2.3.6) it does bring quite a few fixes and enhancements to the device check the picture below:

As always, there’s no word as to when the update will start rolling out, but most OTAs start within a few days of the documents hitting Verizon’s support site.

CyanogenMod put out the call back in February asking for donations to get some new servers, the community responded enthusiastically. Now, the most popular third-party ROM developer is announcing that the servers are online and capable of building CM9 in nine minutes. Awesome, right?

The team says there’s still some work to be done before these babies are cranking, but once they’ve set up schedulers to automate the builds, the new servers will be able to put together bleeding edge ROMs for your device faster than you can say “Holy crap, that was really friggin’ fast.”

For those who are curious (and aren’t we all?) those are three Dell R610s in the photo of the CM servers above. Each server packs dual Xeon X5675 CPUs for a whopping 12 cores and a drool-worthy 32GB of RAM.
