Facebook Home: lockpicking Android for fun and profit
landgrabbers Mark Zuckerberg in open source poses problems for Google Android space: given that both companies want user data, you can not afford to sit and watch New home Facebook Android smartphone is a bold attempt to downgrade the operating system to a utility role, to keep Android user data itself is supposed to feed Google advertising business. Google's reaction is worth a visit. Amazon
Kindle Fire
, announced the end of September 2011, is considered a wise "
Android
However, the term illicit taste Amazon flight is totally legal - an unintended consequence of the decision of the Android open source mobile operating system from Google. Download Android source code here, change it to your liking - or business needs "- content, load it on a device and sell as much as you want
because it does not fully meet the terms of the program compatibility for Android, own version of Amazon is not allowed to use the Android brand, and the company had to open his own app store. In industry jargon, Amazon "forked" Android, but resulted in a branch of the Android source code incompatible tree The result of this heretical version of Android is a platform that is responsive to the needs of the Amazonia. Promote electronic commerce without fuel pump advertising money Googleyour new home from home
And that brings us to the new home of Facebook.(careful presentation of the company here. Business Insider also offers a gallery of help.) newly created Zuckerberg is the latest example of the noble quest to make life easier for the user to wrap a layer around the existing software. Creating a shell is not low-effort, Windows started life as a GUI shell wrapped around MS-DOS. Even command line interfaces that venerable Unix C shell, Bourne and Bash (located inside OS X) are easy to use - or "friendlier" - wrappers around the Unix kernel. (Sometimes this noble quest takes too - remember Microsoft Bob was the source of many jokes?).
Facebook Home is a shell wrapped around Android which is a software layer that lies above everything else on your smartphone . Your Facebook friends, calendar, conversations, everything is in one place. It also gives you a simple, clean achieve other applications should feel the need to leave the corral using Facebook ... but the intent is clear: Why do you leave the houseThis is bold and intelligent, everything we've come to expect of its founder.
First, contrary to speculation that led to the convening, Facebook does not disclose a piece of hardware. Why bother with the design, manufacture, distribution and support, just to sell a few million units - a small fraction of the billions of users - when you can come and support a larger number of Android smartphones at a much lower cost Second, the house is not only aligned with the real business Facebook advertising revenue is more aligned with an important part of the business strategy of the company's revenues to keep Google hands. Android only reason for being is to attract a captive audience, offering free services (search, email, maps ...) in order to access the actions and user data that Google is loaded in the sale of eyeballs for advertisers. By "float" on top of Android, the house can keep the data and the action itself, beyond the scope of Google.Shell
game- Facebook, like Amazon, to keep control of your heart business.
- But unlike Amazon, Facebook "fork" Android just downgraded to a layer of the operating system is located below the main deck.
- On paper and in the demos, it seems that Zuckerberg ran the table ... But moving from concept to reality complicates things.
own heart of business, one wonders how the company will welcome in the family home and Facebook Galaxy phablets phone. Will a warm hug, or Samsung will continuously modify their software to keep one behind the house?
general terms, Facebook has admitted that differences in Android implementations prevent the first version of the house after work on all Android phones. To achieve the coverage you need to keep Google (and its social networking efforts Google +) in the bay, Facebook would be absorbed into a quagmire of development and support.
