The walled garden keeps out unremovable crapware, non-standard UI's, and other carrier shenanigans used to screw Android users out of a great user experience.
They're posting on the Internet that they're throwing down their geeky gauntlets and engaging other geeks in a geeky duel-to-the-death to defend the honor of a ten year old gaming system.
Have any of the these guys actually seen a vagina?. If I had a mop, a doughnut and a vagina, could these guys pick the vagina out of a line up? Because the day they actually see a vagina, they're throw those 1337 haX0r skills out the window.
- "Poo: the other brown meat." - "Shit's what's for dinner". - "Just like mom used to make." - Dr Anus: "respect the anus." (Burger King) - "Ohh ahh oh ploppin' fresh dough" - "D is for dookie and that's good enough for me." - "It's like there's a potty in my mouth"
So you're saying Nokia closing the Symbian source is like cutting the head off a zombie you blasted with a 12-gauge a little while ago just to make sure it's good and dead?
I like open, modifiable code that anyone is allowed to improve sans politics. I just can't deal with all the work involved in maintaining a "libre" lifestyle, because that would involve learning Spanish and wearing black clothes and tacky berets and spending half my time ranting about how inaccurate some idiot commentator on Fox News is and how some elite is trying to rob us of our freedoms while spending the other half trying the be an apologist for bad usability and documentation and telling frustrated end-users that they can't exercise their freedom of speech to complain about the "lovingly created software gifts" that rob them of their productivity on a daily basis. I'd never have any time to write any useful software if I went that route.
The parent post's analogy between FOSS and government is especially apt if one substitutes "clean toilets" with "write documentation" and "guarding the prisoners" with "usability testing".
tends be an enormous malware vector. I wouldn't be surprised if Playboy's admission to the app store has more to do with Playboy's reputability and accountability as opposed to any softening on morality issues.

They didn't fail to find the Higgs-Boson; they succeeded in discovering a way that the universe does not work.
I agree that Don Knotts has had an immeasurable impact on society; without his valuable work we'd never be able to make fun of rural law enforcement.

They're cheap enough but you need to check under the burqa first to make sure you're getting an exquisite one.

Would have probably been cheaper than a $500 hitman and would have had fewer legal entanglements than sexual assault.
Technically speaking, Microsoft really deserves more of the credit than Gabi Ashkenazi.
