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."

There is no need for people to HAVE to view this information. People who want it will always be able to have it, so instead the design needs to be focused on how can a normal person NOT have it and be OK.
If we actually had any kind of AI that might make sense.
Well I don't know if you'd consider it AI or not but we have pretty good expert systems.
It's not about hiding anything from the user. It's making a system in such a way that the components used together do not have a propensity to harm.
Again, users that want or need to see will ALWAYS BE ABLE to do so. Stop designing FOR THEM. They can HELP THEMSELVES.

No please explain, I'm thick.
Do I just download Android from Google and do whatever I want with it?
You do know what open source means don't you.
Not my job to think for you sunshine.
Calling someone a "hater" only means you can not rationally rebut their argument.
The Motorola CEO is completely correct. The fact that submitting an application to the fragmented Android Market requires no inspection or vetting by gatekeepers means that very poorly written software will get in. Programming on Android is hard as it is due to the extreme OS versioning and hardware fragmentation and the multiple states that an Android application must cycle through (often leaving dangerously dangling application threads). In addition, Google has made Android closed-source and soundly prohibits common folks from changing the Android 3 source code, which definitely goes against the very nature of FOSS. But I suppose Google thinks this is correct in order to fight against the extreme fragmentation of the Android platform running almost a dozen major OS versions on fragmented hardware. So basically the Android platform is an excessively fragmented, closed-source platform, with thousands of poorly-written applications in a wild open marketplace. But poorly-written applications may just be the least of one's problems (in addition to the fragmentation) because progressively more malware is seeping into the applications there. Fortunately, the malware writers also have to deal with the extreme fragmentation, so thankfully that is keeping them in check. And in the end, an integrated platform (such as iOS) wins because I don't drive my German sports sedan because it's fragmented and mediocre, and I don't think many Amercians do, either.
