Florian Mueller is not an expert.
He is a troll, plain and simple.

Burn that name into memory and as soon as you hit that name in any article stop reading it.
That is all I can suggest to avoid permanent brain damage from reading his blathering.

No,... so they could defend themselves.

It's an anti-apple story because they lost?
I guess we should have it one way only: Apple always wins and we all lose?

Meh..... go hang with Florian... your both good at insulting people.

Because it's Florian, and yes - he is a troll.

Only Ice Cream Sandwich is up in the air, not all Android source code.
The title implies that it was all taken down, which is simply not true.

You answered your own question...
They are not limiting your ACCESS, just your speed.

I hate these bloodsuckers as much as the next guy but let's keep it honest - even if they don't do the same.

1. 'hacker' writes paid for application, gets said app accepted to the market.
2. 'hacker' then commands his droves of exploited iDevices to purchase said app.
3. 'hacker' profits.

Same Dale Kimball?
A shame he did not have a sudden break out of common sense during the SCO fiasco...

I called in to protest and had 2 separate people tell me that this is not going to apply to uverse.
Whether or not that is true has yet to be seen.

I have not been presented with any evidence that this is the case but they seem to be good at lying about it at the retention level.

"...where unsuspecting or careless Android smartphones find it, download it and install it."

You mean ..' unsuspecting or careless USERS find it'
The phone itself is not reaching out to download it, the user is doing it.

And will happen again.

They tried once before and the judge blew their ship out of the water.
What makes their chances any better this time?

And your right, the government won't do anything about it.
What bothers me about this is that the government is run by people, and it's these people that won't do anything.

It's as if they get a rise out of doing it OR they are content because it's someone else and not them.

And I have sent tens of thousands of texts using it.
It's a big issue because APPLEGADGET is saying it is.

Seriously.. if they don't want to sell something they don't have to sell it.
We don't 'make' stores carry product do we?
If they don't sell the product you want then buy it from someone that does!
