You can just feel the snark.

Most of Apple senior executive Phil Schiller’s tweets are about music he likes, but today he decided to share a a new F-Secure report with his 67,000+ followers about the rise of Android malware. Schiller’s comment: “Be safe out there.”

iOS is widely considered the most secure consumer mobile platform in the world. And although it’s definitely susceptible to hacks, the amount of malware on iOS is a tiny blip on the radar (less than 1%) when compared with Android’s 79% lion’s share of mobile malware in 2012.

A few days ago we told you that Spelltower was headed to Android. The word game made a huge splash in the iOS App Store, and now it has made its way to Google Play.

If you’ve never played Spelltower, you’re in for a treat. It’s like Scrabble with some unique twists. There’s multiplayer support over WiFi. 1,800 Android devices are supported, including the Kindle.

Yesterday the latest version of Temple Run launched in Apple’s App Store, and now the new game has arrived for Android in Google Play. Temple Run: Oz is a collaboration between Disney and Imangi Studios that’s made for the coinciding release of the film Oz the Great and Powerful.

The gameplay basics are the same as the classic Temple Run you know and love, but the levels are totally new with flying baboons and hot air balloons.

Google is working on a competitor to Amazon Prime, according to a new report on TechCrunch. Amazon Prime is a subscription service that gives customers free two-day shipping, unlimited access to Amazon Instant Video, and the ability to borrow Kindle books.

A Google version of Prime would offer same-day deliveries from larger retailers and even be slightly cheaper than what Amazon offers.

“Mind if I take a picture of you taking a picture?”

A couple of randoms guys where recently photographed wearing Google Glass while riding bikes in New York City. A Reddit user snapped the pic near Paulino’s Bar & Pizzeria during his morning commute.

We don’t know who these guys are. They could very well be Google employees, they could be privileged developers, or they could have both have won the kits from Google’s new #ifihadglass promotion. Regardless, we’re jealous.

How soon before we see more people roaming the streets wearing these things? Google has said that it plans to sell Glass by the end of 2013 for under $1,500.
