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."
kind of like kathleen fent blaming nigger dick for her cunt smelling like shit.
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.
Only problem is, Motoblur is the application that will drain 35 percent of the phone's power and you can't get rid of it. Its sluggish and a power hog.
Motoblur? I had to re-read to check whether that was the real name of the app or a play on the name. That is a shockingly bad name. It rivals GIMP. Who the fuck wants blurred anything on their phone??? Does the fucking phone move too quickly leaving the user behind? Is it drunk or hung over with blurry vision? Does it blur your screen making you wonder if you're drunk or need to see your doctor? Who the fuck comes up with these SHIT names and thinks they're grand???
These posts express my own personal views, not those of my employer
This CEO is whining about apps being resource hogs.
Party that is shades of bad programming. But partly it is the result of an OS that lets the apps get away with too much.
THAT is what top is for: to tell you what the offending party is
If you have to look, you have failed the user.
Top may be too "geeky" for you
You idiot!!! It is not too geeky for ME. Or for YOU. it is "too incomprehensible" as to what Top is even doing, for 98% of the people across the planet! These are the people you want to screw over, to make more miserable, by not recognizing that Top is the enemy to the real integration of computing into the lives of Mankind.
You are no better than a spammer.
You are no better than a pick pocket.
You would seek to make lives just a bit more miserable for tens of thousands or millions, just so your life may resist a bit of change, or the need to open up a system out of a box instead of having it shipped to support your 1337 mad skillz.
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?".
If you reach that point the OS designer has failed.
Miserably.

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.

Funny, iOS has no such need. Too bad Android is so poorly designed that is needs something like this.
