Verizon outs Android 5.1.1 update for the Sony Xperia Z3v and the Z2 Tablet

Verizon has started pushing out over-the-air updates to Android 5.1.1 Lollipop for both the Xperia Z3v smartphone and the Z2 Tablet. This rollout might of course be considered a bit late since the next version of the OS, Marshmallow, has already been out for months. Then again, perhaps the 'better late than never' mantra applies here.
For both devices, the new software version is 23.4.B.0.319. Aside from everything that Google included in the 5.1.1 release of Android (including security patches), Sony's update also brings with it HD Voice support for the Xperia Z3v.
As always in these cases, the rollout will surely be staged, so it might take a few days before it reaches every single Z3v and Z2 Tablet out there. If you're impatient you can manually check for the availability of the new software by going to the appropriate section in Settings. Full release details for both devices can be found at the Source links below.

Aliens in GTA 5

Image
Amidst a hodgepodge of GTA 5 Alien sightings, UFO appearances, Flying Saucers, and jetpack rumors, a tantalizing unsolved mystery continues to frustrate players. What Do These Symbols Mean?  Update April 23, 2014: Code delvers have reportedly made new progress, discovering Jetpack References in Source Code . Explorers have found spacecraft hovering over mountaintops and concealed in the skies high above significant landmarks. After meeting Omega in the desert, a series of glowing, pulsing Spaceship Parts appear scattered throughout San Andreas. Tracking them down leads to the creation of a tiny spacecraft, and unlocking of the Space Docker .

Nvidia Launches GameStream, Adds Shield Button-Mapping

Image
Shield updated to Android 4.3. If you're an owner of Nvidia's portable Shield gaming console, there's some fairly hefty announcements coming your way today. As IGN previously reported from an event in Montreal , GameStream--beaming compatible PC games from your GTX-ready rig to the Shield--has officially left beta. And on the Android side, the Shield's library of mobile games has expanded considerably. After its launch, the Shield was only compatible with a particular list of Android games. But starting today, Nvidia has launched the Shield Gamepad Mapper, allowing nearly any Android title to be converted to Shield's controller inputs. Nvidia will release button mapping profiles on a weekly basis via over-the-air updates, but it's also possible to set your own configurations and share them with friends. IGN's review of the Nvidia Shield did take some contention with the--then beta--streaming of PC games to the portable unit. After spendin...

NSA is able to install spyware on all iPhones

Image
A leaked NSA document proves that the agency is capable of easily deploying spyware on all iPhones and can have access to user data including SMS messages, contacts, and even a user's location by utilizing cell tower information. What's even scarier is that the NSA can remotely access an iPhone's camera and microphone that is infected with the spyware. According to the leaked intel, the initiative, named DROPOUT JEEP, began in October of 2008. The document delineates that the NSA would need physical access to the device in order to install the software, which doesn't sound too bad. However, the German Magazine, Der Spiegel, which also published the DROPOUT JEEP data, believes that the NSA rerouted shipments of brand new iPhones before they went out to consumers to install the spyware. Even worse, there was some speculation a while back from Edward Snowden, that suggests Apple may have allowed the NSA access to their products. The news was reported...
