Until TechCrunch (or someone?) posted an article pointing this flaw out last week the bug was not marked as critical. I think the drama is the way a lot of people feel about seeing what seems like an obviously critical bug as something google is ignoring.
I'm on several Android bugs that seem pretty bad, and they are either marked as not being fixed or being low priority, and sure enough i'll get a "WTF" update from a new person discovering them once or twice a week.
- twymer 16y agoI think the drama of a million "WTF?"'s are just people of the internet being, well, people of the internet. The TechCrunch post, discussions here, etc more accurately portray people being annoyed that this critical bug is getting ignored.
- TheAmazingIdiot 16y agoIt goes back to the "Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory". Take a massive communication net, cheap to get on, and semi-anonymous, you end up with people acting their worst. Admittedly, some people's best isn't much to write home about (or, perhaps you shoud write to their mother...), but once you add username:'anonymous', you end up with behavior approaching to 4chan's /b/ board. As anonymity on internet approaches 0, respect and sincerity approach in-person communication. And the opposite is true: when perfect anonymity is reached, baseness and vulgarity are the ruling factors.
