First and foremost, Memorial Day is a U.S. federal holiday in which Americans pay tribute to all who have fallen while serving in the country's armed forces, a day of solemn remembrance and reflection. Curiously, Memorial Day is also a day of celebratory ingestion, involving burgers, barbecue, beer, baked beans...and this year, all thanks to Google, Macadamia Nut Cookies. On Saturday we learned that the successor to Android Lollipop has been saddled with the internal code name "Macadamia Nut Cookie" (or MNC, for those looking to save on syllables). The name, which is already being referred to in the Android Open Source Project (AOSP, again for those looking to save on syllables)...

There was a rumor last fall that Android 5.0, codenamed Key Lime Pie, would be announced on October 29th at an Android event. (Note: No Key Lime Pie there.)

Although a number of Android users are still noshing on Gingerbread (Android 2.3) and have not yet tasted their Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0) or handful of Jelly Beans (Android 4.1), there’s widespread speculation that Google will be announcing yet another dessert-themed Android version at an event in New York City on October 29th. Word on the street is that the code name for the next Android OS is Key Lime Pie, which will of course be foreshortened to “KLP” (and really rolls off the tongue better than “ICS” ever did, so that’s a plus). Google is expected to launch an LG Optimus handset along with the new Android version. (Image credit: Android Spin) It’s...
