Chromebooks may be doing better than numbers suggest
Web traffic generated by Google Chromebooks suggests that the low-priced laptops have failed to catch on with consumers, but those numbers may not tell the whole story about the laptop’s popularity.
Web traffic watcher NetMarketShare reports that during the first week of monitoring Chromebook activity on the Web, the clamshell devices barely appeared on the service’s radar.
During that period, only 0.02 percent of Web traffic came from Chromebooks. That suggests there aren’t a lot of the devices out there, and Google’s grand experiment with an always-on, always-connected laptop may be a bust.
What’s more, Chromebook’s numbers compared to a similar metric for the much-maligned Windows are an eye opener.

Samsung Galaxy S 4 up for pre-order at US Cellular for $200, ships late April
Chalk up another one: in sync with Sprint and T-Mobile, US Cellular has joined the ranks of US carriers detailing their Galaxy S 4 launch plans. The mid-size provider won't commit to a more specific timeframe for its launch beyond "late April," but it's already taking pre-orders for a 16GB edition at $200 with a contract and a steep $750 contract-free. That last detail prices it above AT&T's offering, although US Cellular is sweetening the pot by giving away an S View Cover to those willing to buy sight unseen. The news leaves just Cricket, C Spire and Verizon without mostly complete Galaxy S 4 plans -- let's hope they pick up the pace.

Former head of iOS 6 Maps, and more Apple talent, reportedly now working for Facebook
Richard Williamson, who led the team responsible for iOS 6 Maps, and was ultimately let go by Apple following it's controversial release, is now reportedly working at Facebook. According to Adam Satariano of Bloomberg, Williamson has been at Facebook for a couple of weeks at least. And what's more, he's not alone:
Other former Apple employees brought in by Zuckerberg include Greg Novick, a former iPhone manager who helped develop the device’s touch interface; Mike Matas and Kimon Tsinteris, software designers who joined when Facebook acquired their company Push Pop Press; and software engineers Scott Goodson, Tim Omernick and Chris Tremblay.
In a separate move, Facebook has also hired Loren Brichter, the software designer behind Twitter Inc.’s original iPhone app and the word-puzzle game Letterpress, as a consultant, two of the people said. Brichter also once worked at Apple.
Rockstars all. And you have to admit, whatever else you think about Facebook, they're getting a huge amount of attention, and headlines lately. That kind of attention feels like momentum, and that's something in mobile right now, especially with Apple still in their "quiet period".
And once again it begs the question as to what Facebook's short and long term goals are. Is Facebook Home an end-game or only just the beginning? Will Williamson build for Facebook a very social Facebook Maps app?
Will we soon be able to "Like" our friends' houses and bounce their Chat Heads off the bar we're all hoping to meet up at later?
Facebook has already released a Messenger (now also VoIP) app, and a Camera app, and even a SnapChat app. Add a Maps app to the mix, and a few others, and you start to have a lot more than a Home on Android.
To swing back the Facebook Home-as-facehugger analogy, you start to completely take over and re-write the experience. You start to xenomorph your way into a full-on phone.

Report: Big Biz Shakes Off Hack Attacks
A lot of noise has been made about the consequences of data breaches for companies, but a recent survey of some of the largest U.S. businesses may have wrapped those noisemakers in a muffler. Of the 27 largest companies reporting cyberattacks in their most recent filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, none said they sustained any major financial losses from those net assaults.

Android developers encouraged to update Play Store listings with tablet screenshots
Tablet screenshots will now show in Play Store listings for users browsing on that device
The official Android Developers Blog has just put up a post explaining to app developers guidelines for uploading and displaying screenshots of their apps running on tablets. Developers can now specify the difference between screenshots being uploaded for phones, 7-inch and 10-inch tablets, so that when users view the Play Store listing from each of the devices they will see views of the app relevant to that device. With Google's continued focus on tablet design and making apps look great on larger screens, it's important to show users what they're getting while browsing the Play Store.
If you're a developer and have tablet-optimized apps, check in your Google Play Developer Console for instructions on how to manage your screenshots. The rest of us will see the benefit of this initiative as more apps are properly designed for tablets.

Motorola following 'better is better' strategy post Google acquisition
Motorola phones with Google's influence, running stock Android, to hit in the second half of 2013
Speaking to PCMag, Motorola design chief Jim Wicks has a whole lot of good news for Motorola fans out there. The integrity of Motorola's handset business after an acquisition by Google has been under quite a bit of scrutiny, but Wicks is quick to say that we'll be seeing phones soon that are truly designed by both Motorola and Google. If you'll recall back to previous talks, the companies had "12 to 18 months of products in the pipeline" which needed to be drained before truly new Motorola devices could hit. The strategy for Motorola is going to be quite a bit different from what we've seen before as well. First, Motorola is focusing on providing a stock Android experience with fast updates going forward. He said:
"From a software and UI perspective, our strategy is to embrace Android and to make it the best expression of Android and Google in the market. It will be the unadulterated version of Android, and I feel really good about our embracing Android and being the best Android experience."
The new Google-ized Motorola is also focusing on a strategy to fight against the "bigger is better" theme that has been a driving factor in Android device sizes, instead going for "better is better". Using the RAZR M as an example, Wicks explained that Motorola wants to make phones that feel "just right" in the hand, rather than just one-up the competition in every single spec and size -- "that's the easy way out" he says.
The final pillar bringing this all together will be a new design and branding message that persists across carriers, rather than individual lines -- think Droid on Verizon and Atrix on AT&T -- that break up Motorola's vision. Although Wicks was quick to point out that the collaboration with Verizon has been a successful one, he says that Motorola is interested in also doing self-branded devices going forward.
That is, assuming Verizon, AT&T and Sprint are okay with Motorola attempting to do their own thing. There's nothing about this strategy that we don't like on paper, but we'll have to see how a new Google and Motorola combination can deliver on these ideas. We could be seeing some really interesting products out of Motorola in the coming months.
