Google’s hackerishly hirsute Open Source Programs Manager, Chris DiBona, stormed the IT headlines this week when he stuck his paddle into the computer security world and stirred.
In a blog posting which was at least as far above the line in gung-hovity as it was below the line in orthography, DiBona openly referred to vendors of Android anti-virus software as “charlatans and scammers.”
(To be rectangularly precise, DiBona said that such vendors were “likely as not to be scammers and charlatans”, and he appears to have meant viruses in the strictest sense of the word – malware which can spread by itself.)
And he didn’t just point a finger at the companies which sell mobile anti-virus software.
