Two-Month Update: iOS 7 Adoption Rates Surpassing Those of Predecessor \| Chitika Online Advertising Network KitKat claims 1.1 percent of Android device share a month after launch KitKat may be the new kid on the Android block, but it's already faring quite well.

Price: Somewhere north of $200 million. Topsy, one of handful of companies with access to Twitter’s full “firehose” of tweets, recently unveiled a search engine capable of searching through the 425 billion or so tweets published to Twitter since the company’s debut in 2006. It’s not yet clear how Apple plans to use Topsy. (7) Home To Stay Dog Rescue Amazon’s Drones Might Work, but Would Cost $200 Per Package \| MIT Technology Review Amazon’s plans to deliver packages by drones, which it predicts “will be as normal as seeing mail trucks on the road today,” has been widely dismissed as little more than clever self-promotion.
