This is actually an elaborate analogy about the neutrino experiment. Had no idea such concentrated genius could be contained within such a short post. God, I have to go back to school so I can aspire to approach such brilliance.
Your post is from the same vantage point. As the owner of my phone, the only fragmentation I see are apps made for specific devices like the Xperia Play games, and I only see those in the media. I don't see those apps in the Android market. Users are hardly affected by fragmentation - devs are, and the Android market is doing fine with it.
It is simple because you only care about updates for your phone. This is only a problem for people who watch the industry with a bias. Your carrier will update your phone when they say they will. Not complicated at all.
The problem with these stories is that they're written with the default understanding that Apple is God of the Universe. Walled garden with one line of phone maintained centrally is the way of the universe. Android phones are carrier-maintained. You don't buy a platform, you buy a phone from a carrier, who may or may not update your device. Another way to out that is you have the *choice* of where to get Android, and carriers have the *choice* of how to support it. As an aside I can also choose what kinds of apps I can install and run on my device. I may choose the wrong carrier or device or apps, but I enjoy actually having a choice at all, and that's why Apple will never get my money.

Yep. That and the root instructions will hit about five days before it's released too.
Glenn Beck is an idiot. Also,we could help Americans in tents here AND effectively help Africa if we actually gave a damn about doing it.

It's free for manufacturers to use and customize on their devices, so YES, free and open.

The app should have a map layer for nearby trees to make pitchforks out of.
I don't like Child Molesters, but every 'sex offender' isn't a child molester. The sex offender label pisses me off.
They already have a workaround in place.
