About a year ago we wrote about lawyer who was spreading Android FUD after he had removed evidence (from his CV) of former Microsoft employment. He just sort of airbrushed it out of his career history, and just in time for an attack on Android. He then collaborated with a Microsoft lobbyist (who routinely pushes journalists to publish Android/Linux horror stories) in spreading his FUD. This is not a coincidence. It’s a pattern we learned to recognise.
A former Microsoft Research Intern is spreading some more “malware”-themed FUD about Android
First this guy looks for all the Android malware he can find on the Internet. Then, he purposely installs it all on an Android device. Finally he says, 'Look how much malware you can end up with on Android devices.' As if purposely seeking out and installing malware (Trojans) says anything at all about system security.
I'm just trying to imagine the reaction if someone did the same thing with Windows. I can see Windows bloggers developing apoplexy as they scrambled to respond.
give me 20 minutes with Google and an additional 45 minutes with a Windows phone. I can produce the largest cesspool in history, confined in that small of a space.
