Yahoo’s Aviate launcher now up for download

Following Yahoo’s purchase of Aviate, the “self-organizing” home screen is now available for download for all Android users. The app is designed to show you apps and information you need at the time these are required. This means your navigation apps will be brought to your attention when you’re commuting or you’ll get the news in the morning. You can also access your contacts by swiping home from the home screen as well as get commute time estimates based on the weather. If you want to try this out for yourself, you can download it here.

When Heartbleed was discovered in April, Graham discovered that 615,268 websites were at risk. While there are a large number of sites that have been able to patch the vulnerability, there is still that huge number that may or may not even deal with the issue. Graham refused to name the sites because he doesn’t want to make it easier on hackers to get into these systems.
