Absolutely...
I think the whole article is a shallow attempt to differentiate Motorola amongst Android vendors.
Motoblur is great because it can show you what's using the battery?
So can Menu/Settings/Applications/Battery use.
I'd agree with the point several on this thread have made.
It's better to naturally downvote the apps that don't follow best practice, rather than ask Google to be a super-draconian gatekeeper. Some of us avoid Apple products for a reason!
They hacked mobile phone voicemail. Was a pretty simple "hack" for most, some was social engineered afaik.
Perhaps even simpler than that...
I'm amazed the carriers haven't come in for any criticism. Voicemail accounts could be accessed from any phone by entering a PIN - and they were mostly preset to a default, such as '1111' or '1234'. In these cases, you just needed the phone number of the celebrity. Call the remote voicemail service, enter the PIN, and you'd be in.
I remember working for a cellphone reseller in 1997, and being surprised by this. The company leased handsets to the stars of certain soap operas, and the customer care peeps were listening to voicemails down the pub of an evening.
They founded Apple Corps...
The only reason it's apple-anything is because of the lame pun. Apple Corps... Apple core. Geddit? Must have been funny in the Sixties, or something.
FWIW, the title is also available on O'Reilly Safari.
Let's hope Legal didn't get in on it too, since Firefox supports tabbed browsing and MS are patent trolling.
Did they check inside the cake for a sinister envelope?
Ah, 3. That old chestnut.
What would the results be like if the most popular search algorithm could be trivially gamed?
Look in your spam folder to find out.
HTH.
Agreed. I'm sure the Open Handset Alliance members can scare up a few patents between them.
Except it's search code would be worthless if publically available. It would be trivial to game it.
I wouldn't say they didn't need the data...
SSIDs are geopoints are required if you're going to put together your own aGPS service as an alternative to SkyHook.

Android is certainly reminiscent of Windows in it's need for a wipe and restore from time to time when you've installed a lot of things and it's got sluggish.
FUD. My Nexus is loaded up with apps and isn't sluggish at all.
My Linux fonts are beautiful...
Java fonts are another matter.
