Microsoft revealed on Wednesday that it has delayed its Windows Phone 7 release of Angry Birds.
The software giant had previously promised that Angry Birds would be made available on May 25. Joe Belfiore, who oversees Windows Phone Program Management, proudly announced at MIX11 last month:"Angry birds, i'm excited to tell you and everyone else who's following on the Internet, will be available on our Marketplace on May 25." Unfortunately Redmond has delayed the release to June 29. Microsoft says the delay is down to a better experience. "The shift in timing of "Angry Birds" as the final title in the Must Have Games lineup was a decision made to ensure we provide the best possible gaming experience on Windows Phone," said a Microsoft spokesperson.

In the wake of the revelation that there's a huge security hole in Android's Wi-Fi communications with Google applications, Google told me and other journalists on May 18th that, "Today we're starting to roll out a fix which addresses a potential security flaw that could, under certain circumstances, allow a third party access to data available in calendar and contacts.

Facebook's Statement of Rights and Responsibilities require users of the social network to be at least 13 years old (and even older, in some jurisdictions). Millions of preteens use the service anyway: some get permission from their parents to create an account while others lie about their age to get past sign-up restrictions.
