See, there's the thing. They -can't- access this information unless you give them permission. Trying to read it without throws an exception. And it's been said plenty of times before, this app, like all others, had to ASK for permission at install time, and the users hit Install nonetheless.
Every line of add-on code must be reviewed. The code validator can't detect all possible security or code quality issues, so we must always be in the lookout for bad code.
The law is clear. The text is something along the lines of 'mobile cellular phone'. Also, jailbreaking is specifically in the context of cellphones, involving making said devices interoperable. It has nothing to do with PCs, and jailbreaking has nothing to do with violating the OS X EULA.
This is something a lot of people get confused. ("If it's open, why do you have to root it?")
What it is, is the AOSP (Android Open Source Project) is completely open. The source code to the Android tree is right here. You can do whatever you want with your own build of Android, nobody is stopping you. When it comes to phones, this is where the "openness" ends, other than the manufacturers having to contribute changes back to the source (which they do). However, the build of Android you buy on your phone certainly does not have to be open. The telcos usually want the bootloaders locked so you can't run an "unapproved" build of Android, and the provided builds of Android may include this crap, or even go as far as AT&T does and disable loading applications from anywhere but the Marketplace.
If you want to avoid the sort of problem like this shovelware/bloatware, make sure to get a phone running stock Android, like the Droid or the Nexus One (for example) that hasn't had the OS itself modified by the manufacturer (like with HTC Sense or Motoblur) or by the carrier (like with the EVO).
Yes, because the ** Association of America will send DMCA (an American law) notices to a Swedish ISP. You know what the Pirate Bay does with those letters now? They post them up on a page and laugh at them.
First, linking YouTube and Google accounts probably has nothing to do with this specifically, rather, getting rid of the seperate login database for YouTube. Second, that's not what I meant. I am looking forward to this feature. You are not me, and if you want security, don't link your Google accounts together, end of story.
What. Did anyone say Google was forcing you to use this feature? Just because I might want to compartmentalize my emails doesn't mean I want to have to log out and log back in every time.
Well they might be, after seeing what happened to the Droid. Except none of that makes any sense, because the one thing letting people mess with their own devices does is sell more units.

I would have asked him how a passive cable knows which bits in the stream are the colors.
Probably because the connectors haven't changed, only the functionality (and the internals of the cables)

Huh? It says right in the Marketplace listing how many times an app has been downloaded.
Excuse me? I somehow doubt you've ever submitted an addon to Mozilla before. I have, and a real person does indeed check your code.

So it's an Automated ATM machine Machine?

Yeah, over 41 million units sold? That's terrible.
When did Google build their own phone? Because if you're referring to the Nexus One, HTC made it.
I suppose I was being more literal, but you are indeed correct.
Now come up with one that doesn't involve a book written thousands of years before evolution was theorized.
Who is Jayzuss? The black rapper version of Jesus?
This is honestly how some people's minds work.
I think GPLv3 solved it, but, Android is under the Apache license, not GPL.

So one sale is not a sale? Just because it's not "significant" doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
ambien..t music, right?
Why are people trying to tell me this? Tell GP. I already expect no privacy from Google. I use all their stuff to improve their service towards me.
Don't reply to me, reply to the GP. I do run my own mailserver.

Except for the Droid Eris and Droid Incredible, which are HTC.
