Google vowed that its Linux-based Android mobile platform would empower enthusiasts and amateur developers, but today we have seen compelling evidence that this is an empty promise.

A Linux based platform that's locked into "Java" applications and an outdated SDK that's inferior to the NDA-only one?
Seriously, Google, you're not doing your reputation justice... I mean, you guys just stepped into the net neutrality battle here in Canada but are secretly doing stuff like this? honestly.
Java Sucks
NDA's Suck
