I suspect a hoax - this is described in TFA exactly the same way the iPad DHCP issue was back in September of last year, and the link to "Princeton" directs to "www.net.princeton.edu.nyud.net" - pretty sure Princeton can afford to register and use princeton.edu for their official communication, not some odd .net address.

Given that this bug made it out into the wild, does this mean that the Android team only did 24 days of beta testing of the product? Or that they thought they would release a patch within 24 days?

Not particularly smart or impressive, either way.

Submission + - GM Hummer To Be Sold to China (yahoo.com)

An anonymous reader writes: According to Associated Press, GM has an agreement to sell its Hummer brand to Sichuan Tengzhong Heavy Industrial Machinery Co. of China, said a person briefed on the deal. For now, the deal would save 3000 jobs, but it is expected most of the jobs will be moved to China. Before you worry about soldiers of US army and marines riding on Chinese made jeeps, you should also note that GM China has made recorded sales in China, despite of its parent's woe in the US. I personally did notice quite a lot more Buick's running in the city of Shenzhen than on the streets of California. When I was over there, I owned a Buick myself which was made in China but with US-made engines and transmissions; whereas i own a Japanese car here in California. Strange world.
