Continuing what seems to be a constant barrage of security issues on various platforms, The Next Web reports on older versions of Android allowing Google to remotely bypass the passcode of 74% of Android devices. Matt Sencenbaugh has an excellent post on why startups seem to act like sociopaths. Sometimes the plans of the leaders of the startup and the investors do not align perfectly. Priceonomics gives us an interesting analysis of Stack Overflow data and what that means in terms of language trends. There are no major conclusions in the post but is does provide some good insight into what happens.
