Welcome to a brand new series on Bitts where we will list and briefly quote from the top 5 articles with the most pageviews in the previous month. This time around, that month happens to be July. So here we go.

1. Google Me Social Network CONFIRMED By Facebook CTO
Facebook's former CTO, Adam D'Angelo, confirmed in a blog post that the "Google Me" social network, aimed straight at Facebook, is real and it's coming. Rumors surfaced after Kevin Rose, Digg CEO, tweeted that he had heard from a credible source that Google was working on a full fledged social network. Well now that seems to no longer be a rumor.

Google Chrome OS hasn't really been in the news lately, and it really only got hype last July when it was announced. But something has been in the news lately, and that is tablet devices, specifically the Apple iPad. Google Chrome OS will be a lightweight operating system aimed directly at netbooks. But when we think about netbooks, there are still a lot of people that ask the question "Why should I get one?" or "Why do I need one?" Some people might whip out the old "They are more portable." answer, but tablets are now emerging to replace netbooks. So aren't netbooks descending? Plus, if they are descending, why would Google work up an ascending OS for a descending category of notebooks?

We already knew that Microsoft's KIN phones were an epic failure, but the question remained as to how much of an epic failure was it? John Gruber seems to think it was an enormous failure.

iFixYouri, the makers of the original iPhone 4 drop tests have now included Apple's own Bumper case for the iPhone in a new drop test. In the video, he does flip and turn it around when he drops it, but it doesn't survive for more than three drops. That's one less drop than the iPhone 4 without the bumper.

After Apple's press conference on the iPhone antenna issues, a select group of people were allowed to then go tour their specially designed anechoic chambers for testing. Inside those chambers were not only the large, spiked, foam walls, but also many "things" set aside hidden under black cloaks that no one was allowed to touch or look under.
