You remember #Apple scanning all images on your #mobile device?
If you have an #Android#phone, a new app that doesn’t appear in your menu has been automatically and silently installed (or soon will be) by #Google. It is called #AndroidSystemSafetyCore and does exactly the same – scan all images on your device as well as all incoming ones (via messaging). The new spin is that it does so “to protect your #privacy“.
You can uninstall this app safely via System -> Apps.

Since there are so many speakers that are able to speak English, it is interesting for non-German attendees as too, especially the post-conference workshop from Nick Hodges.
I’ll be speaking too (more on that below) and will be there all 3 days (plus the evening before and morning after to aid people with their Delphi related questions).
Among the speakers, these will do their sessions in English:
Some 20 years after someone thought it was a nice idea to allow spaces in path names on Windows, it still is a bad idea to rely that just “works” for everything.
Android SDK
– http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
– Windows:
- http://dl.google.com/android/installer_r13-windows.exe
- http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r13-windows.zip Do not install in a directory with spaces (not C:\Program Files, but C:\android-sdk)
And it does still apply: though not mentioned in the Android SDK/ADT documentation, most of the batch files in the Android SDK ADT bundle are not compatible being stored in a path that has spaces.
Unquoted referrals to paths like this are used in most SDK batch files:
cd /d %~dp0
The only way to run these batch files is with the current directory being the directory of the batch file itself, or referring to them in their fully quoted form.
Another correct way would be to use short names, but that’s only done in find_java.bat:
%~dps0
Summary of the batch files and how they are affected:
