Now, with Android 4.4, Google has revealed that a Dalvik replacement is in the works -- a replacement, called Android Runtime (ART), that should improve the performance of Android apps by a huge margin. The early version of ART in Android 4.4 already speeds up apps by around 100%, and the final version should be even better.

Independent: A huge swathe of eastern England, most of Denmark, the entire eastern seaboard of the United States, Bangladesh and a huge chunk of China would be lost beneath the sea if all the worlds ice melted, according to maps produced by National Geographic magazine. The interactive online maps show a radically different planet Earth after land ice in Greenland, the Antarctic and elsewhere all melted.
