DeviceGuru writes "Last month, we learned from Gartner that Android will probably be the number-two worldwide mobile OS this year, and may lead the pack by 2014. With Android's growing use as the OS embedded in phones, in tablets, in set-top boxes, and in LCD HDTVs, it seems like the Linux-based OS could end up dominating the entire non-PC consumer device operating system space. What do Slashdot readers think: Is resistance futile?"

From the Blues Brothers:

Jake: Goddamned.
Elwood: Man, I haven't been pulled over in six months. I bet those cops have got SCMODS.
Jake: SCMODS?
Elwood: State County Municipal Offender Data System.

(The cops do have SCMODS, Elwood has a record:

BLUES, ELWOOD
ILLINOIS LICENSE : B263-1655-2187
CURRENTLY UNDER SUSPENSION
WARRANTS OUTSTANDING : PARKG. 116
MOVING VIOLATIONS : 56
ARREST DRIVER ... IMPOUND VEHICLE

Officer Daniel returns to the car)

Officer Daniel: Elwood, we show your license currently under suspension. Step out of the car please.

(Elwood and Jake look at each other. Elwood starts the car and drives off, the police follow them)

Jake: First you trade the Cadillac for a microphone. Then you lie to me about the band, now you're gonna put me right back in the joint.
Elwood: They're not gonna catch us. We're on a mission from God.
Jake: Elwood...!
