ired of being referred to as the
| “sweet tooth” of operating
systems, Android has decided
to steer away from delicious treats
when launching its new operating
systems line.

“Our theory with naming the
new line was to choose something
people would take more seriously
than desserts,” chief of naming
operations, Sandra Ardnas, said.
“There will be no more jokes
around the water cooler about
knocking down the ’Gingerbread’
house, or how there’s too many
bugs in the "Honeycomb.”” Android
is definitely turning over a new leaf
with their newest operating system:
Android 4.0 Spinach. Ardnas had
this to add: “Doing away with our
previous OS names was a bold
move, and you can be sure it came
from up top, but all of us at Android
are confident about its success.”

plans for future operating system
names; be sure to look out for 5.0
Brussels Sprouts, 6.0 Dried Fruit,

and, eventually, 7.0 Yams.

Spinach, which was previously
named the whimsical Ice Cream
Sandwich, will have all the features
of its predecessors (Gingerbread
and Honeycomb) plus a few added
bonuses.

On top of the heavily-
advertised face recognition feature,
Android has managed to keep a
few secrets about their new OS.

An anonymous source from inside
the Android hive had this spoiler
to spill: “Your face isn’t the only
thing your Android will be able to
recognize. Just hold any vegetable
up to the camera, and your phone
will automatically tell you what it
is!”

With this revolutionary
technology Android has taken away
any unwanted vegetable surprises.
Who’s the Genius now, Apple?
