Not a good day. If you're Samsung or Google, that is.

Another exploit discovered is the one Apple literally just patched in 10.3.1 whereby the Broadcom WiFi chip could be hacked without any intervention by the user.

Of course Google will patch it quickly. Just don't expect it to arrive on your device any time soon.

You neglected to thank Google for discovering it and letting Apple know. 

Completely irrelevant who discovers it. Apple, Google, MS and countless other security researchers discover exploits all the time and pass them on.

The REAL issue is that Android is pure garbage in how security updates are handled. Gooel will patch it right away, but OEMs will drag their feet and only users of high-end flagships, Nexus/Pixel or other devices will ever see the update. The vast majority of Android users in the world WILL NEVER RECEIVE this update.

That's utterly pathetic, and 100% Google's fault.

You neglected to thank Apple for providing the muse for which Android devices were completely ripped off from. (I'll spare you from posting The Photo yet again).

Thank you google for stealing Apple's technology and stealing Billions of dollars from Apple and discovering this one tiny flaw. Certainly makes up for being a scumbag all these years.

 No it doesn't. You'll never be part of Apple again, sorry.

these clowns at Samsung even copied the marketing name from Apple -- the "Plus". really? is that the only possible nomenclature for a larger size? pathetic.

Another uninformed person who thinks only Apple manufactures phones and everyone else just copies "everything" including the naming of devices. Please read my earlier comment.

So you think Samsung "copied" the plus naming convention from Apple??? Samsung is using Plus in naming their devices for many years already. Samsung SII plus was released in 2013 - just to give an example. There are MANY more Samsung phones with plus naming convention, much before iPhone 6 plus came in late 2014. In fact, Samsung releases so many phones with so many names every year, it is very difficult to come up with a new name which does not have any resemblance to any of the existing Samsung phones. You can accuse ANY OEM of copying name from Samsung phones blindly and it would not be far off from the truth. To claim that Samsung is copying name from Apple is - pure ignorance and lack of knowledge.

Samsung never used PLUS on their flagships until after the iPhone 6 Plus.

What about S2 plus? It was launched in Feb-2013, solid 1.5 years before iPhone 6 plus. Of course, it was NOT flagship at that point in time (S3 was), but an ex-flagship with Plus added to its name. Again, how does that matter, when we are talking about "copying" the naming convention - flagship or not?

If anything, it was apple who copied the Plus naming convention from Samsung. Not that it matters even a bit (because it is damn difficult due to Samsung's stupidity of releasing thousands of phones with different names), but accusing a company of copying something while the truth was the other way around is just not fair.

Was the S2 "plus" used to designate a larger sized model, or an update to an older version?

Also, I can play this game as well -- Apple was using the Plus moniker in its product naming schemes decades before Samsung:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_II_Plus
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macintosh_Plus

...that's 34 years before the S2 Plus. Oops.

This about what you're asking. Factory installed. Tight tolerances. Are you talking about another piece of soft plastic, like the one it comes with with no bubble that you then take off so you can install one? No, we're talking about something scratch resistance, so we're talking about another piece of coring glass...

No.  YOU are talking about "another piece of glass" for reasons unknown.

I have been talking about application of "a soft piece of transparent plastic," akin to what the article talks about.  

Soft pieces of plastic should be applied at the factory, and if users don't like them, they can easily remove them.

The End.
