So, if I get this right, it's a bug which could be used as a feature by Google to work more effectively with the NSA.
(It doesn't sound too far fetched to me, since we know that the NSA has even installed hardware at companies like Google.)
EDIT: to the downvoters: if you downvote, say what you don't find ok. Is it the critical thinking part?

And that's probably the result of the fact that they're not-for-profit. And that fact eliminates a great deal of potential for corruption.

- driverdan 13y agoNo, you got it wrong. Google isn't going to intentionally trojan your phone for a myriad of reasons.
