> the new mega-application in Android for OS updates
Without this fragmentation would continue to be a huge issue and make Android development much less palatable than the alternatives (iOS/maybe WP). What would you have Google do instead?
- tomrod 13y agoProbably the same actions, but discuss openly the implications? I'm not saying they're doing something that doesn't make sense, or is immoral or something. Just the functional capacity they're giving themselves. Full control over the OS through a closed source binary implies the ability to put in any code they want--nefarious or not. What happens then when the update mechanism is cracked?
