Thanks, Shawn!

Edit: Google claims it was an accidental release and they're not doing this. Grrrr. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/...ndroid-shortly-after-adding-them Which makes me wonder what the value is in encouraging us to over-privilege apps.

EFF: Awesome privacy features in Android 4.3. I know I'll be way more likely to try various apps if I can install them without giving full-on access to privileges they don't need, and toggle that on later if I decide they really do need them.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
