You nailed it. I mean, absolutely, positively nailed it. Android is the best OS.

The simple model to use for comparison is IE. Microsoft let the product languish once they snuffed out Netscape and seemingly let it rot until a viable competitor in the form of Firefox emerged. Since 2004, IE has lost between 20-30% market share depending on the source that you use.

Despite this, IE still holds a market share in the 65-75% range, and there is still no talk about either de-integrating IE or making it open source. I honestly think that if MS ever takes one of their core products and decides to go full open-source on it, they're essentially giving up on it. It just seems like the mentality they'd take.

In addition, comparing the IE toolbar to Firebug is like comparing the luxury qualities of a Kia Rio to an M3. They're not even in the same league.

Internet Group Declares War on Scientology 891

Darkman, Walkin Dude writes "An internet group calling itself Anonymous has declared war on the Church of Scientology, in the form of an ominous posting to the YouTube site. 'In the statement, the group explained their goal as safeguarding the right to freedom of speech. "A spokesperson said that the group's goals include bringing an end to the financial exploitation of Church members and protecting the right to free speech, a right which they claim was consistently violated by the Church of Scientology in pursuit of its opponents." The press release also claimed that the Church of Scientology misused copyright and trademark law in order to remove criticism from websites including Digg and YouTube. The statement goes on to assert that the attacks from the group "will continue until the Church of Scientology reacts, at which point they will change strategy".' It should be noted that Slashdot users have had interactions with Scientology in the past as well."
