When our pals at Engaget asked about the missing "Coming Soon" tag, Google confirmed ...

According to Wired's anonymous source, the topics: Google and Adobe. The message: screw those guys.

Google clearly has a thing for ninjas. On the heels of its shinobi-focused Gmail theme and the helpful tip sheet "Become a Gmail ninja" comes an unboxing video that handily beats all efforts we've seen -- largely due to its stop-action-animated mini-ninjas slashing their way to a Nexus One. Made by YouTube director Patrick Bolvin, this Google-sponsored homage is clearly aimed at Android ...
