Android releases are release in alphabetical order with the letters coinciding with names of popular deserts like, doughnut, eclair, frozen yogurt, you get the drift.

While this Android is not named after a popular desert, version Z for Zoidberg of Futurama fame, is probably one of the cutest, coolest and cheekiest Androids we’ve ever seen.

The brains at Google have just launched MLab – “an open platform that researchers can use to deploy Internet measurement tools” (as Google puts it).

From Google Blog:

At Google, we care deeply about sustaining the Internet as an open platform for consumer choice and innovation. No matter your views on net neutrality and ISP network management practices, everyone can agree that Internet users deserve to be well-informed about what they’re getting when they sign up for broadband, and good data is the bedrock of sound policy. Transparency has always been crucial to the success of the Internet, and, by advancing network research in this area, M-Lab aims to help sustain a healthy, innovative Internet.

We just love the way that reads. ISPs, we hope you’re taking heed because we all know, you are all taking the heat (from a lot of unhappy and unsatisfied customers)!
