A Batch of Nexus 4 Orders Shipping This Week, Google Claims
For customers who were awaiting delivery of their pre-ordered Nexus 4 smartphones, news of a three-week delay was an unpleasant surprise.

Google+ Profiles Integrates With Google Play
Google+ is now integrated with Google Play Store reviews, which means users who want to post reviews will have to sign in with their Google+ profiles.

WTFJeans is Back With 2 Gigabytes of Jeans
WTFJeans, a startup that turned the heads of many fashion-savvy geeks in 2010 with its gadget-friendly jeans, is back with version 2.0. The company's first run of jeans was plagued with problems -- while the jeans sold well, issues with PayPal locked the sales' proceeds for months. Ultimately, the company returned the money to its customers, but most of the jeans were never manufactured.
With the latest version, WTFJeans has set up a new payment gateway that aims to eliminate such problems. The new pair of limited-edition jeans are iPhone 5-friendly; only 2 GB or 2048 pairs of jeans are up for sale.
