Why are apps allowed to be silently installed and executed by just inserting an SD card?
I don't agree with the "Bad idea" label in the title. If it can be done, it will be done. Maybe black hats are already doing it? Bringing the knowledge to the public isn't a bad idea.
Edit: fix typo

Now, Android...that's surprising. Does Google really allow apps to install themselves without notifying the user? The Linux security model should easily prevent that.
