Google Activates Android "Kill Switch," Zaps Useless Apps

Hmmmm, if I was an NRA member I'd say that this is the first step in an ongoing secretive plot to take our apps away. But I'm not . . . .

Gosh, Amazon caught hell for a similar stunt. And Apple? Will they pull this crap regularly. Will Google continue their 'transparent' app deleting actions?

It's both a good, and a bad thing depending on your view of 'Security'
 
ohh wow..not another one of these threads...

Its used for MALICIOUS APPS only, they dont just delete whatever app they feel like deleting.
