It appears this weekend that Google has pulled a number of popular gaming emulators from the Android Market.

All were created by developer Yongzh and include Nesoid, Snesoid, Gensoid, N64oid, and Gameboid.

The developer says his account was removed without any prior warnings and he is now looking to move his emulators to the third-party "SlideME" app store.

Just last month, Google pulled the PSX emulator, PSX4droid from the Market, as well.

While emulators are legal, as standalone apps, 9 times out of 10, the ROMS (games) used by gamers are obtained illegally thus making the whole legal standing of the software sketchy.

Mark Zuckerberg, founder and CEO of social networking giant Facebook has said this week that his new personal challenge is to "be thankful for the food I have to eat."

In doing so, Zuckerberg says he will only eat meat from animals he has killed himself.

Says the world's youngest billionaire:

I think many people forget that a living being has to die for you to eat meat, so my goal revolves around not letting myself forget that and being thankful for what I have.

Since moving to the new diet, Zuckerberg says I have "basically become a vegetarian since the only meat I'm eating is from animals I've killed myself."

One of his favorite foods, lobster, was tough to eat as he was forced to boil it alive. However, "the most interesting thing was how special it felt to eat it after having not eaten any seafood or meat in a while."

Zuckerberg has also killed chickens, goats and pigs.

Nokia has won a partial review of the patent case it lost to Apple in March, with the six-member ITC reviewing 2 of the 6 patent claims that were thrown out by an ITC judge earlier in the year.

The ITC will focus on a few specific terms in the two patents.

Nokia is looking for a full injunction on the iPhone in the United States.

The first patent relates to speaker and antenna quality and the other is for reducing energy consumed by phone cameras.

Nokia first filed the lawsuit in October 2009, asking for the injunction and demanding royalties from all iPhones sold.

The latest rumor, and "confirmed" by a couple of photos, is that Sony will name their upcoming NGP handheld "PlayStation Vita."

Vita is the Latin term for "Life," which could absolutely be a reasonable name for the system.

Additionally, psvita.com has the same technical contact as psp.com, Sony.

Whether the rumor is true or not, we will know the official name of the system at Sony's E3 keynote on June 6th.

For controls, the updated handheld adds dual micro-analog sticks, giving gamers a feature they begged for on the original PSP.

The device has a massive 5-inch multi-touch OLED screen with 960×544 resolution, a multi-touch panel on the back and will run on a quad-core ARM cortex processor.

Sony has added tilt-sensitive SIXAXIS controls, standard and front-side cameras, GPS, an electric compass, Wi-Fi and 3G support, and access to Android gaming.

The NGP is expected to sell for $250-$300 for the cheapest model.

TechHog has posted what they claim to be the upcoming Google Nexus 3 flagship Android device, one that will run on Android's "Ice Cream Sandwich" platform.

ICS will be the first Android version to mix 3.1 Honeycomb (optimized for tablets) and the Android 2.x series built for smartphones.

In the leaked photo, the alleged HTC-built Nexus 3 will remove all physical buttons, the signature home/back/menu keys.

Additionally, the site also says that the company is working on both HSPA+ and CDMA versions, one for AT&T and one for Sprint.

While many will decry that the photo is faked, the editor of the original piece says the photo is edited, but only to remove items that would otherwise lead a trail back to the Google employee source.
