Remains of the Day: You Probably Spend 23 Days a Year Looking at Your Phone

A British study measures how much we stare at our phones, Twitter's API leaks, and the Nook is getting a bunch of new movies.

• You Spend 23 Days a Year on Your Phone, Say New Figures A recent study from a British mobile insurance company has found that the average British person spends 90 minutes a day?or 22.8 days a year?looking at their mobile phones. As the survey was only sent to mobile phone users in the UK, it's not the most all-encompassing study, but it's a good indication of just how much time we probably spend on our smartphones. [CNET UK]
• Twitter's API Keys and Secrets for Its Official Apps Surface; What Should We Do With Them? Twitter's API keys and secrets, which are used to authorize apps that request access to Twitter's data, have all been leaked and are being shared on GitHub. This normally wouldn't be a big deal, but since Twitter recently upset people by making its API much more restrictive, it means that third-party developers now have everything they need to circumvent the social network's controversial restrictions. At least for a little while. [The Next Web]
• B&N Widens The Screen For Nook Video, Adds Content From Lionsgate, MGM, Paramount, Relativity, Nat'l Geographic And More Barnes and Noble's Nook video service is scoring a bunch of new content. A new deal announced today will bring films from Paramount, MGM, Lionsgate, Relativity Media, and others to video-capable Nooks. [BusinessWire]
