I've seen games that NEED access to SMS text, your contacts, pictures, GPS, etc. (e.g. Tetris that needs Internet access)
What Android really needs is both a way to block permissions WITHOUT rooting *and* someone with a brain that stops these things from making it in the store in the first place.
Will it happen? HELL NO. Your lack of privacy is WAY to profitable.
You could watch "LFTR remix 2011" but since google/YouTube is down where you live:
-Banks don't like unknowns. A commercial-grade LFTR reactor has never been built. If it did they would know how long it would take for the reactor to make $. -Current regulations only cover WW2-tech reactors. Anything else is a gray zone. So, no permits, etc. -Current nuclear industry is a monopolistic cash-cow. They don't want to end the 25-year, sole source supply contracts for solid fuel.(You can't buy fuel pellets on special on E-bay or Walmart...) -Governments want to please the NIMBYs and nuclear-phobes. They would rather live with the time-bomb reactors we have in service today. -LFTR could kill the coal and the oil well business. so...
You might not be able to scam people on Kickstarter. But you can get a bogus patent without POC or a product and sue everybody who actually build stuff.
No more enrichment, ever. Cheap fuel (currently is a waste product of mining) No more 100+ Atmosphere pressure vessels to burst No more backup generators needed Accidental meltdowns are impossible Turn reactor on/off in hours/minutes not months Unable to weaponize any part of fuel or waste. Needs Uranium only to start the reactor Creates leukemia fighting medical isotopes from waste Creates isotopes for space-grade batteries for NASA from waste Very little waste is left-over and it's radioactive for about 300 years. Prototype was run for 5 years+ in the 70s. Both China and India are working on it (and THEY will get the patents)
Issues: -Regulations set by existing Nuke industry. -"Nuclear is bad" mentality of public and politicians.
That's because the designs that everybody associates to a nuclear reactor requires constant monitoring (control rods) and power dependent back-up systems and a massive building.

Samsung and Nokia are already releasing phones with it, too.
How many of these wireless charging standards do we need? (Oops, I'm gettin' it now...)
Separate the phones from the service providers and most of this BS goes away.
Would you by GM gas that ONLY works in GM cars?

And that's what flashblock is for.
PS: I'm still waiting for HTML5-Block.
You just know the HTML5 ads will be horribly intrusive.
In a related story, General is in the process of cancelling leases to all of its customer until they get firearms licences.
Make the cooling of the server room able to heat up the building during the winters.

(BTW: Coal power plant makes radio active ashes)
Please stop with these great ideas.
Wall Street needs chaos and using Buckwheat as a winter crop to feed cows will not provide the chaos.
And a hungry workforce is a cheap workforce.

Oh the irony!
Thank you all you anons for proving me wrong.
(Believe me, I WANTED to be wrong)
They could also do the same with "Google Play".
You can't install an app on Android without it.
This way, when you commit a thought crime they know that it's you and not someone who got your password.

Uh-oh. It looks just like Dice.com's site!
We are so fucked!
Would they send cops after them like they do for stolen stuff?
No because nobody but the government is willing to that the risks.
Most of the risks were already taken years ago.
So, like the banks, you'll have to wait until the Chinese do it for us.
Except this one has been proven to work.
It didn't provide jobs in the right place of the US so it was canned.
The real solution are LFTR reactors.
No more enrichment, ever.
Cheap fuel (currently is a waste product of mining)
No more 100+ Atmosphere pressure vessels to burst
No more backup generators needed
Accidental meltdowns are impossible
Turn reactor on/off in hours/minutes not months
Unable to weaponize any part of fuel or waste.
Needs Uranium only to start the reactor
Creates leukemia fighting medical isotopes from waste
Creates isotopes for space-grade batteries for NASA from waste
Very little waste is left-over and it's radioactive for about 300 years.
Prototype was run for 5 years+ in the 70s.
Both China and India are working on it (and THEY will get the patents)

LFTR has none these design issues.
In google servers, the power supply only make +12volts.
There are no -12V, +5V or -5V rails.
There are, instead, DC-to-DC converters on the motherboard.

"The Cloud" is only good as secondary backup if you don't care that it becomes public.
Encrypt it all you want. Access to your data is the hardest hurdle and by using the could you give it away.
Maybe something like a QNAP?
If Google sold servers, HP and Dell would die overnight.
Just the "12volt-only" power supplies with built-in batteries with "12volt-only" motherboards makes them more reliable than anything out there.
HP and Dell either can't or won't license this from Google.
According to this http://maps.google.ca/maps?oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&q=mount+fuji+map&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Mt+Fuji&gl=ca&t=p&ll=35.241133,138.952332&spn=1.323484,2.425232&z=9&vpsrc=6
They should be able to divert it to the water and make Japan bigger.
I don't know if this has ever been done before.
but I bet they now where to take you out to wine and dine to into signing contracts with them.
