You don't seem to have any understanding of how Android works. The buck does stop at vendors since they are the ones who ship OS updates to consumers. Vendors don't prioritize upda…

"Google winning is good for everyone" is propaganda that Google uses when they are threatened. Google is no different from any other corporation. Once they have power, they exercis…

That plus the fact that Android tablets aren't really used and the game is much better on a tablet than a phone.

Instead of minimizing or dismissing serious problems as 'already patched', hackers could help by warning consumers about the proliferation of Android malware. If sales were jeopard…

Shadenfreude? Do you mean something other than just enjoying their misfortune? And 'taking responsibility' means solving the problem. They have told us what they are dealing with. …

In Google's case, it's because Google advocates (and often incentivizes) the disclosure into its care. Since Google has been participating in this spy program for at least 5 years,…

That's exactly what Apple has tried to do, and although it hasn't completed the job yet, is much further along than anyone else. Google on the other hand makes it's money out of an…

Isn't that the chromebook pixel?

Doesn't it concern anyone that this is a computer on which absolutely nothing is private?
