Don't knock Peter Bright. I have been reading ARS and LWN for years, but it wasn't until Peter came along that I started to appreciate what a wonderful thing a good journalist is.
For some reason I just thought I liked reading some sites because of the topics the choose to report on. It was Peter who made it plainly obvious that isn't so, and so it was because of Peter contributions that I started to see people like our editor here in a new light.
Good journalists are really special. They are usually logical, polite, timely and provocative at the same time. And they do it week in, week out, rarely missing a beat.
It is an amazing feat. Their talents are so obvious now, I am not sure how I took them for granted for so many years. It's a bit embarrassing that I did, really.
As for the topic at hand, big companies will always behave like big companies, and from an open source perspective do the oddest of things. It looks like the phone hardware is stabilising now. Google success at pushing a single OS has standardised the platform. It's time for us to take matters into our own hands, and do something like a Debian port of MeeGo/Hartman to Android hardware.
