Google’s ARC now runs Android apps on Chrome OS, Windows, Mac, and Linux
In September, Google launched ARC—the "App Runtime for Chrome,"—a project that allowed Android apps to run on Chrome OS. A few days later, a hack revealed the project's full potential: it enabled ARC on every "desktop" version of Chrome, meaning you could unofficially run Android apps on Chrome OS, Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. ARC made Android apps run on nearly every computing platform (save iOS).

Google’s ARC Welder tool makes it easy to run almost any Android app on Chrome
During Google I/O 2014 it was announced that Chrome OS would be getting limited Android app support, thanks to the creation of a new “App Runtime for Chrome” (aka ARC) that runs Android code at nearly native speeds via a sandboxed Dalvik VM. Since then, several Android apps have made their way over to Chrome OS, though the number is still quite low, coming in under 50. Of course, it’s only a matter of time before this situation improves. In order to make testing out Android apps easier than ever for developers, or even just everyday tinkerers for that matter, Google has now released a new tool called ARC Welder.

Samsung Galaxy Conquers Android, What Happened To The Competition?
The Samsung Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge handsets are almost ready to be bought by the public, the South Korean company’s strategy for launch is on course, and the stage is set for it to recover from a financially hobbling 2014. Reversing the trend of last year’s performance would be amazing, but what is more amazing is that the majority of the Android-powered competition did not step up to challenge a weakened Samsung in those twelve months.

Everything you need to know about Device Protection in Android 5.1
Google added a feature called Device Protection in Android 5.1 Lollipop, but it neglected to explain much about how it works. The feature is essentially a reaction to laws being enacted across the U.S. that require smartphones to have factory reset and anti-theft features.
Android's new Device Protection system can keep a thief from using your phone, but it won't work without the proper settings. In addition, it can backfire if you sell your phone without disabling Device Protection first. There are definitely some things you need to know.
