iPhone is evil...it is used to boost the popularity of evil groups such as the Chinese government and AT&T.

Android is open source...it is the only mobile phone OS that can be examined by third parties to see if it is doing wrong. Android was started by Google, but has quickly grown out of their reach. Android is free, fast, and functional...with software that shares the same benifits.

Perhapse Symbian is evil...

I've started to question Google the past few years ever since their purchases of some 'questionable cookie vendors' and the move to online-only installers that do questionable things (at least on Windows PCs).

Google IS evil, but sometimes they do something that is good (Google maps with streetview). Android is not only open source, it opens the door for other linux-based operating systems on the same phones. It probably won't be long before we see RedHat mobile and YellowDog Phone edition.

my only problem with this article is the use of the word "Secondarily". it just doesn't feel like it fits for the sentence used.

but again, you do have to question the move to online only installers. what if i want to do something offline? i just flat out can't because, "we don't do that no mo'".
