Devs Discuss Android's Possible Readmission To Linux Kernel

MonsterTrimble writes "At the Linux Collaboration Summit, Google and Linux Kernel Developers are meeting to discuss the issues surrounding the Android fork and how it can be re-admitted to the mainline kernel. From the article: 'James Bottomley, Linux SCSI subsystem maintainer and Novell distinguished engineer, said during the kernel panel that forks are prevalent in embedded systems where companies use the fork once, then "throw it away. Google is not the first to have done something like this by far, just the one that's made the most publicity. Hopefully the function of this collaboration summit is that there is some collaboration over the next two days and we might actually solve it."'"

What does this have to do with the iPad? I come to slashdot for iPad stories, not stuff real nerds have never heard of.

Really? I come to slashdot to read about how Google is taking yet another piece of technology we have taken for granted for many years and turning it into an online, ad-based Clout 2.0 service and tunneling it through HTTP with JSON and SOAP to their servers for a nice intense data-mining session for better targeted ads and predicting future crimes one might commit.

It is entertaining that a tinfoil hat will work quite well at protecting your wallet from remote scans.

I'm not worried! A lot of the info I have posted online is false!

I wasn't sure if 5 quotes at the end of the article was correct or not. I decided to employ brackets to handle the scenario. Taking out the wording, my findings are above. It IS correct.

Is it bad that this was the most exciting part of the article to me?
