Let’s be clear about this: developers don’t have any kind of obligation to update their apps for the Android L preview release. It’s a preview – by definition, it’s not ready for prime time, and developers shouldn’t have to immediately treat it like consumer software. That said, it’s nice to see that some have already begun to prepare for the full Android L release later this year. Even relatively large players like Twitter are getting in on the action.

The primary Twitter app available on the Play Store is currently crashing when installed on Android L preview releases. But the beta build, available via the Google Groups program, has been given a speedy update just a few days after the release of Android L at Google I/O. According to plenty of testers and several of us here at Android Police, the new build downloaded from the beta-enabled Play Store page is working just fine. The version we’ve been able to confirm is 5.16.0-beta.161, which strangely has the same June 23rd update marker as the standard version.


It looks like the beta build also has heads-up notifications enabled in Android L, which means that Twitter must have marked this feature as a high priority. If you’d like to get into the beta program,head to the Google Group to request access.

The call for a ban includes cryptocurrency services ...

The world’s 10 riskiest sovereigns

http://isthattrue.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/cda382d9-fef3-4c77-bdc3-136c0c8f91c8-300x146.jpg Bosnia-Herzegovina is the world’s riskiest sovereign, according to a new model developed to calculate default probabilities, ahead of other high-risk countries such as Belarus, Ukraine and Rwanda. The model, which uses data from Euromoney’s Country Risk Survey, shows Bosnia-Herzegovina is one of the more alarming prospects with a default probability of 27.4% over 12 months. Surprisingly, the country still commands a stable B-rating from Moody’s and S&P, unlike other, similarly high-risk bonds mostly C-rated or on review for a downgrade. Still rebuilding after last year’s devastating flooding, the country’s high unemployment rate, corruption and continuing political uncertainty make it the most likely country to default on its debts.   Belarus, reliant on Russian philanthropy in the absence of other creditor support to bolster its dwindling reserves and avoid a balance-of-payments crisi...
