X has revealed that it suspended around 800 million accounts within a 12-month period as part of a major effort to combat spam, bot activity and coordinated manipulation campaigns on the platform. The disclosure was made during a briefing with lawmakers in the United Kingdom, where the company discussed its ongoing battle against inauthentic activity.

Paying X (formerly Twitter) to send a tweet sounds ridiculous but for now, it's currently being tested as a new program for new unverified accounts in New Zealand and the Philippines. Called "Not a Bot", new users are required to sign up for a $1 (~RM4.75) annual subscription just to post and interact with others.

The rumoured HTC Volantis or Flounder is the 8.9-inch tablet from HTC expected to be the last Nexus device from Google.

Serial leaker @evleaks also revealed a HTC volantis macro shot showing that it could be under the Android silver OS Alpha 1.4 program, making it the first tablet in Google's new Android Silver program. No Malaysia release dates were mentioned but it could come in Q4 of 2014.
