In Lehigh County, Pennsylvania, District Attorney James Martin recently set up …read more

I want to share you with an idea that I’ve had for a while that I think would be very helpful for me, and may be helpful for everyone (if they want it, of course). You may ask what this has to do with the Dark Android Project, but what this is relative to as far as Dark Android is one of the key (pun) security holes that I bring up often: the touchscreen keyboard.
