No April Fool’s joke, this.

I’ve long been a fan of Android Police’s APK Teardowns. I’ve learned a lot, most of it being how to interpret a wall of code. I still haven’t got around to doing it myself, but they’re back with another teardown. Only this time, it’s not a Google app – it’s the much talked about Facebook phone.

Instagram Gets Facebooked. For a Billion Dollars

Just before I could turn off my PC, this news broke. Facebook has acquired Instagram.

BIG news? Probably. Probably not. I’ve never used it, not just because it wasn’t available for non-iOS device until a couple of days back or so, but because I find these filter-photos-then-share apps pretty dumb. Dumb as in, they do not…
