I choose what I want to share on FB.

I don't want Google near my user info.

So Google can index and put ads on them? I'm moving away from Google's services and I don't want them accessing my user data.

Re:Android Fragmentation Visualized on Tuesday May 15, 2012 @04:34PM (#3978663)
I think for Asian developers, specially in China, fragmentation is a HUGE problem. There are literally hundreds of variations of cheap Android phones out there with different screen sizes, OS versions, etc. We replace our phones regularly here in the US and have access to the latest phones from Samsung, etc. but that is not the case in most parts of Asia.

>Diversity of hardware and software isn't an inherent boon, it's just something that brings its own benefits and drawbacks.

Absolutely. Also, fragmentation is more of an issue in Asia where there are literally hundreds of cheaper variations of the same phone with different Android versions, screen sizes, memory, etc.

I was told that among MIT undergraduates a bizarre form of political correctness had developed, putting Stallman in charge of a pack of eager misguided nerds who in a healthier environment would probably be protesting the killing of rats in biology class.
