There's a bug in Android that crosses over from the realm of serious into self-parody: "It turns out the bug in Android I wrote about yesterday was worse than we thought. When the phone booted it started up a command shell as root and sent every keystroke you ever typed on the keyboard from then on to that shell. Thus every word you typed, in addition to going to the foreground application would be silently and invisibly interpreted as a command and executed with superuser privileges. Wow!"

Oh give me a break...
As one Android individual said to me, "This will the hotest phone on the planet! Bigger than iPhone!"
YEAH RIGHT!
What the Google people need to do is get back to planet earth... This company reminds me very much of Netscape in its heyday.
Around 1996 I attended the only conference Netscape ever held. And it was at that time I said, "Netscape is dead." While Google might not be dead, Google is not going anywhere quick...
