Android 5.0 Lollipop closes in on 10 percent adoption rate

See full gallery on TechnoBuffalo

It’s been almost eight months since Google announced Android 5.0 Lollipop, and it’s still running on less than 10 percent of all Android devices. That’s according to Google, which released the latest distribution numbers on Tuesday.

It turns out the Lollipop is currently running on 9.7 percent of Android devices, followed by KitKat, which is now the most popular version of Google’s software with 39.8 percent of the market. Android Jelly Bean is a close second though, running on a combined 39.2 percent of devices. At the other end of the pack, Gingerbread is holding on at 5.7, followed by Ice Cream Sandwich (5.3 percent) and Froyo (0.3 percent.)

None of this comes as a huge surprise, and Android updates are slow for a number of reasons. Fragmentation in the hardware used by different devices and manufacturers means each Android update needs to be tweaked for many different models. Individual carriers also slow things down with their own testing and additional bloatware.

It could be a while before Android 5.0 Lollipop becomes the most popular version of Google’s operating system, though adoption will likely pick up as more companies release phones and tablets running the new software. Still, it could take as long as a year before Lollipop finally takes the crown.

Crypt of the NecroDancer mod is the Mega Man rhythm game we’ve never had

Not ready for “Mega May” to end just yet? Capcom has done a good job making sure that every classic Mega Man game that it can release has been released through digital channels, but when it comes to original content, the fan scene is still the best place to look. Like this mod for example! The Mega Man series is eternally memorable for its amazing soundtracks, but we’ve sadly never gotten a rhythm game out of it. Luckily, we have CutmanMike to thank for modding the Blue Bomber, a host of his iconic enemies, an arsenal of special weapons, and several of his greatest musical hits into the indie hit Crypt of the NecroDancer. For those who have not played it,  Crypt of the NecroDancer  is a dungeon crawling roguelike game. Sure, we have enough of those these days, but the kicker which really helps this one stand out is that it must be played to a beat for maximum performance. Miss a beat, and your character will do less damage or miss an attack. The Mega Man mod r...

See Chris Pratt train his crew of raptors in a new ‘Jurassic World’ clip

Is there any piece of film music more recognizable than the theme from Jurassic Park , scored by John Williams, progenitor of many beloved numbers? That’s a rhetorical question, because there is not (OK, except for the Star Wars theme.) The wondrous, swelling music introduces us to a new featurette for Jurassic World , which has some big shoes to fill. While there has been a Jurassic Park 2 and Jurassic Park 3 , Jurassic World is the true successor to the first movie, which was a miraculous and groundbreaking work from Steven Spielberg when it came out in 1993. The new film picks up approximately 30 years after Jurassic Park , which ended with the park in disarray. Now, however, Jurassic World is a bustling theme park, with attractions, shows and one very large genetically modified dinosaur.  The new featurette provides some cool new footage, along with some commentary by executive producer Steven Spielberg, director Colin Trevorrow and Chis Pratt, who is part of the pa...

Tesla Model S update promises to solve “range anxiety”

Tesla announced a new update coming to its Model S car this year which should make it impossible to ever drive too far away from a charging station, at least on purpose. The company also confirmed plans to add auto-steering features later this year. Ahead of the recent event, CEO Elon Musk promised to kill “range anxiety” once and for all, describing the concern some Tesla drivers feel over whether they’ll be able to reach a charging station in time. Once the firmware update (version 6.2) hits, it will add a Range Assurance application that keeps track of your location and the nearest chargers. The app, which always runs in the background, will send a notification to the driver if he or she is about to wander out of range so that they can turn around in time. “This makes it effectively impossible for a Model S driver to run out of range unintentionally,” Musk said. Version 6.2 should roll out in the next two weeks. It also includes a new Trip Planner feature that helps map out long...
