Maybe Google should pay more attention to their own ecosystem and less focus on embarrassing other vendors.

- panpanna 7y agoI too wish they should stop using their resources to find security problems Apple should have found themselves. But I very much disagree this is about embarrassing Apple. In fact, Google is doing them a huge favor. (The iMessage bug for example could have been turned into a worm and infected ALL iPhones on the planet in matter of minutes if it was found by blackhat hackers instead. Apple should be thankful)
- snazz 7y agoProject Zero is doing Apple a huge favor. Google isn’t a single organism; Project Zero isn’t taking away resources from the Android division. And it’s not like Project Zero doesn’t look for Android vulnerabilities, it’s just that iOS is a much more interesting target from a security standpoint because it’s widely considered to be actually secure (not to mention that people actually run the latest version of it). I think Fuchsia can’t come fast enough for an opportunity to break backwards compatibility and catch up with the rest of the world on security. (I also think that Google needs to put some more humans in the Play Store review process, but as we all know Google despises using humans when they can automate a process.)
- panpanna 7y agoIf we only consider security, Fuchsia is another horrible use of resources. How many Android issues are due to kernel bugs?? Of those, how many are due to Google using is own heavily modifed version of an outdated kernel? Agreed on humans, Google needs more humans and fewer robots.
