Motorola CEO Blames Open Android Store For Phone Performance Ills
angry tapir writes "Motorola's CEO blamed the open Android app store for performance issues on some phones. Of all the Motorola Android devices that are returned, 70 percent come back because applications affect performance, Sanjay Jha, CEO of Motorola Mobility, said during a webcast presentation at the Bank of America Merrill Lynch Global Technology conference."
Let me guess... you deluded yourself into thinking Apple and Steve "The Magic Master" Jobs somehow innovated* open source and Google took advantage of that with Android?
*Apple hasn't innovated anywhere. They've only been copying products and marketing them better than most over the last 30 years.
Sure there is a need.
Not on a well designed OS, like iOS.
This CEO is whining about apps being resource hogs.
top won't make them any less resource hogs. Your solution is to address the symptom instead of curing the problem in the first place.
THAT is what top is for: to tell you what the offending party is rather than just randomly b*tch and moan about it and act like nothing can be done.
Clearly something can be done. See: iOS.
Top may be too "geeky" for you but something needs to fill it's role.
Not if you make the role obsolete. Computing is marching on, in spite of reactionaries like yourself.
Something needs to be there to answer the call when the end user asks: "What the h*ll is sucking the life out of this thing? Can I kill it and erase it?".
Funny, iOS has no such need. Too bad Android is so poorly designed that is needs something like this.
