There are a couple of different versions . Google’s own build for the Galaxy Nexus is named “yakju”, alternative builds yakjusc, yakjuxw and yakjuux (so far) are from Samsung, not Google. While the experience is mostly the same between the different versions, only Google’s yakju build is guaranteed to ge updates as they happen. Samsung will presumably distribute the updates to their modified build but at a later time.

How  to change from yakjuux to yakju

iUsers is a new hack, that will allow your iPad to have multiple user accounts on a single iPad.

Each user that has access to your iPad can now have a separate account with their own log in passcode, separate home screens, different apps and log in credentials.

If you’d like to try iUsers for yourself, just add http://cydia.iblogeek.com/ as a source in Cydia and search for iUsers.

I think they made a huge mistake waiting that long for this. It will be interesting to see what happens in the future between Facebook and Google. It was interesting to see that during the Android 4.0 presentation, they removed completely Facebook from the whole presentation everything was about Google+, which is correct considering they are the same company.
