@usedtowork: I think that Google doesn't want to influence the way that developers write apps yet. And Google sells ads, so it doesn't really care if an app uses a paid version or ads to make money.

@JAlexoid: Exactly. That is the point I try to make in articles like this, but there are always people who refuse to believe that their platform has flaws. Android fanboys are as bad as the Apple ones.

@Prostate of Grace: He will always exaggerate the problems and flaws that an Apple competitor has, but usually those flaws do exist. Android does have problems, not as extreme as he says they are, but it does have problems.

@Jk: You are actually breaking the trend. Most developers that comment in articles like this berate Giz and disagree with the fact that Android is not perfect and has problems.

@fsshariq: As long as a four loko is involved, I believe that we can.

@job514: I can't which way it is going to end up. It has been about the same for awhile, not getting better, and not getting worse.

@fsshariq: Everybody is gettin' all fired up about Android.

@Max Goodman: Your point about Android being good for consumers and not developers make me think that Android will end up as the OS on feature phones. It will be widespread and used by a lot of people, but it will also be limited by that fact and will lose any ability to be a technology leader in the mobile…

Everyone likes to make the analogy of Android = Windows, and it may very well end up playing out like that. But it is also somewhat like Android = Linux. (Yes, I know that is literally true, but I mean on a market share point of view.)

@Cromwell: Kind of? His nose is so far up Steve Jobs' ass that he can smell the top of his turtleneck

@ttringle: That is the problem. The TSA guys don't receive the proper training, which is why flubs like this continue to happen.

I can't tell if me and Rosa read the same tumblr blogs, or if the internet is just smaller than I think it is.

@marvellousmurray: There is not enough commitment to the situation in America. We want to solve the problem, but we don't want to invest time or money in proper training of our security officials, it takes a large amount of training to be able to intelligently process people on a one to one basis.

@CaptainJack: That's the main thing I want to know, the actual numbers. How many people go through the system, how many people end up being terrorists, and how many are just regular innocent travelers.

@Wolfstone is informative: That is pretty ridiculous. If you do not oblige the requests of the TSA, you should be allowed a refund of your ticket, and to leave the airport without being hassled.

@foylyndstrom: I think that if the public and the rest of the world was shown that we are smarter than the criminals, then it would have an intimidating effect.

I have an idea. If the TSA was to publicly announce the times that it actually does find someone trying to board a plane with weapons or explosives, then the public could be aware that the TSA is doing it's job.

@jbrecken: Agreed. I would hope that they could do a good enough of a background check when they hired them that they wouldn't have to do this. I don't see a reason to trust a TSA official more than a pilot or a flight attendant.

@Evan Jacob: I think you are allowed to say no.

@lucasway89: I agree wholeheartedly with this comment.
