Android sales overtake iPhone in the U.S. The Nielsen Company announced Monday that sales of Google Android smartphones accounted for 27 percent of the U.S. market in the second quarter, while Apple’s iPhone held a 23 percent share. Google benefitted from having multiple phone manufacturers embrace its platform, most notably Motorola and HTC, which have seen sales soar since the release of Android 2.1.

The FBI is targeting an online Wiki for improperly publishing federal property, but it’s not the one you may think. The Bureau sent a letter in July to the Wikimedia foundation, the parent organization of online encyclopaedia Wikipedia, demanding it stop using an image of the FBI’s seal as part of an entry on the agency. An FBI spokesman told the New York Times that it is illegal to use the seal without the permission of the FBI’s director, and the Bureau has threatened litigation. Wikipedia sent back a response pointing out that many other websites display the seal and promising to argue their views in court.
