I'm subscribed to O'Reilly Safari, where I have both Unlocking Android and O'Reilly's Android Application Development in my bookshelf. The O'Reilly book uses the "build a big application" approach to teaching. So each chapter goes into adding a different feature. There is an expectation that the reader has the examples installed, but unfortunately they don't work with Android v1.5(cupcake). I was lost since I couldn't follow. Luckily I found this book which does a much better job of explaining things. The reviewer is absolutely correct on one thing though. It isn't great at explaining the initial install, and doing a hello world example. If you want to learn Android Development I recommend the following order:

1. 1) Follow the Eclipse install guide from the Android dev site.
2. 2) Complete the various Hello World, Hello Views, and Notepad tutorials from the Android dev site. They are kept updated and are well written.
3. 3) Then read through this book. It really is a good one.

It's both. Hockey is the official winter sport, Lacrosse is the official summer sport. Check out the National Sports of Canada Act:

You have to wonder how much time the politicians used up drafting this. The curling lobby must be pissed.

Wired is so kind not to identify the juvenile...

1. East Boston
2. 17 Years Old
3. Named Matthew
4. Blind

Thanks to this reporting, anyone who knows him now knows what he did. This will follow him around forever.

Wired could have at least left the first name out and kept the story intact.
