Google ''Not Ready'' to Release Honeycomb Code

[eddieroolz]

So much for open source.

If Microsoft announced the same thing they would've been bashed to no end for it. But if it's Google, it's alright.

Sigh.

Android would be more defineable as "Free Source" than "Open Source". It's free, but their marketing it as "Open" was a brilliant tactic nontheless.

1. And yet companies are signing license agreements with Microsoft for Android? Kinda defeats the purpose ya think?

2. That affects almost no one. Yes, you could compile your own, and more power to you, however as most people can't review the code/compile their own, let alone understand or realize what they are looking at.. Would make you, and I, the exception, not the rule. Hence, useless. Not to mention, adding to my first point... Anyone that uses your new code.. Well apparently they, and most likely you, would owe MS some money(at least until that issue goes away.. >.>)

Also, on you last statement.. I would love to see another competitor in the field.. I love a good company battle 😛 And, I'm glad you believe your opinion is better than that of others. Good for you.

Exactly. And to date.. Apple has done it better.. So based on the above.. Wouldn't that make Apple the better company? ;P

[citation][nom]nebun[/nom]google is becoming greedy so sad[/citation]

Also, ask yourself this.. Why is Google only paying 2% income tax when the corporate level is supposed to be 32-35%?

Heck.. Even Apple paid 20%.. And I thought Apple was the Greedy one 😛

What a disgusting GPL violation. If Google can't be professional and opensource they modifications of their Linux OS then they should just get professional and move to something else like how Apple has done with BSD.

Crysis isn't going to happen on Tegra2, might be something you can play on Tegra3, if you can't wait just get the iPad2 since it has x5 faster graphics then then Nvidias Tegra2, Jesus I thought everyone knew that by now.
