While Google anounced the N5 and Android 4.4 it also revealed which devices are getting updates. Those will be the N4, N7 and N10. But not the Galaxy Nexus. Quite to some displease with Galaxy Nexus owners.

Android 4.2.1 based CyanogenMod 10.1 recently hit the public nightly builds. The community based ROM behaves like a stock android system with some well dosed enhancements ... or replacements.

Good news first. You might not need to reflash your device. Bad news. You need to know what the hell you are doing to fix it. I recently stumbled into a nasty little problem and I'm apparently not the first and probably not the last. I wanted to update my CM10 nightly. After booting into clockworkmod recovery I had no access to any storage on the device. The apparently notorious E: cannot mount /sdcard problem. My first guess was a broken sdcard in the device as the external sdcard did cause some issues and in fact might have been broken.

Microsoft recently started on{x} for Android. The app is kind of a rule based programmable scheduler. A rule can basically be broken down to a trigger and an action. What makes this extremely flexible is the programming interface. You are not just limited to predefined rules or rules that you can 'click together'. In fact rules are defined in JavaScript on the on{x} website. They can then be pushed to your phone or shared with others.
