Ya know I'd rather just use my computer instead of running around trying to make every last bit secure. Privacy is an illusion for a useful member of society and the time i spend not being overly paranoid is more time spent with my family.
You can look at the app's properties and enable/disable each policy, Until you make the whole app useless and you might as well not install it. If you are in fact knowledgeable enough to know what all those things are anyway.
something MS had thoroughly bashed into its head over the last decade.
And yet they are still by far the most exploited and exploitable OS in the world. Simply knowing about the fact that you need to be secure does nothing to protect any users.
Um you actually need access to the keyboard cache for some programs. It's a very useful thing to have. There is very little difference between what happens here and in any other OS using standard APIs I can really screw up a windows box if you will just run my program. So given that, let's see how many other OSs we can screw up using standard APIs.
You can actually do the same thing with every operating system out there. So suck it non Apple fan boys! There are even demo apps for android and windows mobile.
I beg to differ here, any object owned by a person you revere has been imbued with a value beyond it's intrinsic value. Hence the Cookie's comb, the car once owned by Hitler has value beyond the moldering heap of leather interior and rusty camshafts. Even some computers have enough character to gain that value, they merely need to be capable of being displayed. I have a powerbook with a asset tag that proudly claims that it belongs to the gubernatorial campaign of one George Bush. I think I'm going to smash it out of spite some day but it definitely has been attached to a character of some merit.
I don't know, I have a power book that some of GW Bush's gubernatorial run speeches were written on.
It's still got value even if I can't find the power supply
offtopic and a sig problem but it's got to be pointed out. It's either a typo or really bad grammar.
What does this function do? DoIFaster(Function) and is vaguely obscene if bad grammar.
Also, in math the point can mean multiply
Yes it means that everything left of the "point" is multiplied by factors of ten increasing as you move left. What's different about that?
It was a serious answer. Parallels is Ok for lightweight stuff but will have the same problems as windows itself as far as security goes. Most software doesn't run at all.
Stallman, for writing the GPL
Yeah give the peace prize to a guy who wrote one of the most contentious documents in OSS history. Right good one! I like the way you think.

But you have to pay Verizon a buck for that nap.

"There." Is not a sentence, I though you were using English...
When you install an app, it tells you what permissions [android.com] the app is requesting, and you can cancel if you're suspicious.
I thought 'security through user awareness' had been shown to be a fail paradigm.
It is because most users don't know what those permissions mean to them.

Tell me again how much you guys have paid out per month to play this time waster?
True, When it was named Greenland it was Green. A mini Ice Age took care of the rest.
yes that Kookie...my bad
Perhaps you should start on that english education yourself and get a grammar primer.

I tried to look up this 404 thing, but I couldn't find it anywhere.
That's funny I found it all over the web. But I couldn't find anything else...
Oh you mean 2*2=4 Got it.
why do we care?
I'm holding on to the hope that someday these news articles will be interesting and some of the replies relevant...

they can learn if they want to
Can they leave their friends behind?
caused your friends can't dance and if they can't dance, well they're no friends of mine?
Ooh it appears I poked a sore spot! Bullseye!
Yeah it's called a parable and it's always told that way. I really did hear it for the first time from a friend about 32 years ago.
