    That's not the report, that's the press release this is the report



    AI actually dove into the report and pulled out the visuals for the iOS vs Android overview (page 17), which is kinda what I would want them to do.

    I'm glad when websites go out of their way to try and pull useful information out of a report, but I also expect them to at least link back to it (ie a "Source" link) Sourcing content is the rule rather than the exception when it comes to news blogs, specifically in technology. I still don't understand why AI doesn't do this.



    Even with sites I trust, I want to see the source link. Not only is it good form (and professional), but it adds a lot of credibility to their posts.

    Maybe they don't link out to increase their Google page rank

    I thought this article should be posted here for a more balanced viewpoint. While the writer here on AI did mention that iOS has 200 security holes, they left out the part about Android only having been found to have 4 remaining. That's a pretty big difference that I would expect to have been mentioned since the article title implied a comparison. Anyway, Apple's biggest advantage seems to be from the way it controls the content of the App Store. Have a read if you care to branch out:
