    ZDNet[^]:

    The vulnerability affects more than half of all Android devices, say researchers.

    Wow, Android really is the new Windows

    (And the new Windows is definitely not like the old Windows)

      The flaw appears to be my 2 yr old daughter. She gets her hands on any electronics, they're quickly bricked.

        Dunking them in her drinks will do that ;-)

          That's two-year-olds for you. Any unbreakable toys they have are useful for breaking other toys. :sigh:

            That why for mobiles I switched to the Xperia range. My 4 year old has dropped mine in the toilet more time that I can remember..

              So... I guess that means all Android phones ship with the virus pre-installed? Because my last one was unresponsive and mostly useless out of the box.

                "Unbreakable" you say? I once heard people say that their code is unbreakable... It's only unbreakable because someone with enough will/stupidity has not yet broken it beyond repair.
