Don't come complaining to me I told you so

Any 12 years old girl will tell you that the next gen mobile phone is holographic communication like we were promised in the first Star-Wars movie 36 years ago. Now we know Apple has been working on holographic projection for years, this here is for the holographic capture ...

Then stop the malicious software from accessing the hosts file. Not that stupid thing.

Just make sure that only a user with a keyboard can edit the hosts file, the registry and a slew of other system configuration.

When was second guessing the user ever a security model?

No The conspiracy theory sounds better in this case I'm afraid. Though the proverb:
      "never account to malice what can be explained by stupidity"
But this time it sounds like really dumb even for M$

Crap!

The hole to plug (17 years over do) Is the fact that malware is able to modify the hosts file or flip a registry switch. Not some M$ convoluted notion of spaghetti security. I bet that by itself has holes in it.

Guys be careful an M$ troll making a days pay ...

RT - "R"un out-of "T"ime right?

"For people who bought their Galaxy Nexus expecting a “pure Google” Android experience, this could be a very big disappointment."

If I had one. (Which I would if it was GSM) and this happened. I'd sue. Class action! As article said “pure Google” is part of the hefty price people pay for a Nexus.

The court should force Verizon to open those "what exactly are you hiding" libraries. Anything else is not a remedy for plain out right lying. Hey I give you an "open phone" which is not open.

It is not the first time Google is not doing their homework about Open-Source and getting cut with their pens down after the fact. What part of Open does Google need to get down their head? It takes one apple to rote the all sac.

There is a 3rd and much more elegant way, I think, NAS.
All these gadgets should just export a network filesystem via cifs for example, they can stay in master-mode of their local disks and serve files over usb-network device. This also eliminates lots of the HW and SW hacks done on these devices for emulating local-attached USB-slave storage. The NET cost and user experience is much better. And the actual applications do not change much. A file is a file is a file.
