Quick, which tech powerhouse's flagship mobile product came out dead last in a systematic survey of the openness of eight open-source software projects? You'd be forgiven for saying 'Apple'...
This makes it sound like a comparison of iOS and Android - which it obviously isn't, because iOS is not open-source (and therefore inherently less open than Android). An old, well-established product like webkit is not comparable to a new product (Android) being constantly beset by patent disputes and so on.
An excellent mix of misleading hooks and unfair comparisons.

It's Official: Apple's WebKit Is Now More 'Open' Than Google Android.
I wonder how much of this will be rectified when Ice Cream Sandwich is open sourced.
