If You Bundle It, You Own It

post from Daring Fireball on 12 May 2011 09:04:38 PM. © Daring Fireball

Gregg Keizer, Computerworld:

Several Google security engineers have countered claims that aFrench security company found a vulnerability in Chrome that couldlet attackers hijack Windows PCs running the company’s browser.
Instead, those engineers said the bug Vupen exploited to hackChrome was in Adobe’s Flash, which Google has bundled with thebrowser for over a year.

The bug may not be in Google’s code, but so long as Chrome includes Flash as a bundled (and enabled by default) component, Flash is a part of Chrome. (Via Slashdot, and headline quip from commenter “manonthemoon”.)

How Google Controls Android: Digging Deep Into
the Skyhook Filings

Extraordinary reporting by Nilay Patel on the contents of 750 pages of documentation and email unsealed by the court in Skyhook Wireless’s lawsuit against Google.

Here?s the biggie: in order for a specific device to get alicense for the apps, it must pass the Android Compatibility TestSuite and meet the Android Compatibility Definition. How Googleexactly determines what passes the test is really the core issuein this case — Skyhook claims Google uses the threat ofincompatibility to act anti-competitively.
Interestingly, the license allows Google to change the applicableCompatibility Test Suite and Android Compatibility Definition atwill up until the time a device is certified for launch? bypassing the CTS. So basically there?s nothing keeping Googlefrom changing the CTS or ACD any way it wants in order to keep aparticular device off the market.

Grab a beverage, kick back, and read the whole thing. It’s worth it.
