Back when he looked human, a wise man once said you gotta know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em. MySpace has taken this lesson to heart and announced it's no longer going to try and compete head-to-head with Facebook. It's giving up all illusions of being a general-purpose social network and focusing on what it feels it does best: music.

Archos 70 Internet Tablet now shipping for $279 with 8GB storage, Android 2.2

Archos wasn't going to settle for shipping a single Android device out today, no sirree -- the French PMP specialists are pumping out these 7-inch Archos 70 Internet Tablets effective immediately. $279 buys you a 1GHz ARM Cortex A8 processor, 8GB of flash storage, and Android 2.2 running on an 800 x 480 capacitive multitouch screen, with an OpenGL ES 2.0 graphics accelerator, 802.11 b/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth and a front-facing VGA camera in an 11oz, 0.43-inch thin package that screams to be held. Sadly, you still won't find Android Market on here, though we'll give Archos credit for ditching most of the proprietary connectors and ports, which should make sideloading your own apps somewhat less of a chore. (There's also a microSDHC card slot.) Expect a 250GB hard-drive model to debut any day now for $350... along with our full review.

88 high-risk bugs found in Linux kernel (And why we're not really worried)

PC World reports that Coverity (a company that sells software to find code bugs and anomalies in commercially released software) has found 359 software "defects," 88 of which are critical in the Linux kernel version that runs on the HTC Incredible. I say they probably didn't find them all. The Linux kernel -- like all software -- has bugs, some more harmless that others. What we all need to think about is what Coverity isn't saying -- these bugs can be found and fixed because the Linux kernel is open-source, and comparable bugs can be found in any software, including the software running on whatever smartphone is in our hands at the moment. Like everything else, tacking the word "Android" onto something makes it news.

Kernel bugs are bad, but they certainly don't equal any type of real world exploit, and unless you hand your phone over to someone with a development computer and a USB cable, you're probably safe. [PCWorld via Android Central Forums]
