With the current scheme house of cards was outside netflix within a week (if not the same day) So content producers are already doomed, why saddle html5 with DRM and binary blobs?
Well he would be sentenced to thousands of years in jail not made to serve them all against nature and death. When someone is given several consecutive life sentences no one goes looking for them when they are reborn!
We've reached out to Facebook for clarification on its new policy, and also to Google to ask if it's aware a Play Store app is updating itself through alternate channels. Google's terms of service do not allow apps "that cause users to unknowingly download or install applications from sources outside of Google Play." The important question is whether Google feels Facebook is being clear enough that this is not a Play Store download.

It would amuse me if Google were to drop Facebook from the play store over this.
Thanks for your input. Now I can see how that would fuse the systems and how that would make for better web apps that had the strengths of native apps (Something like Firefox OS I figure).
But would that improve the Android platform? I'm wondering if it would be confusing or complicated for users, getting some apps from play and other from the Chrome store. Having apps in the launcher and some other apps you have to run from Chrome. Although at that point Google could merge the Chrome store and Google Play and have shortcuts for Chrome apps that launch a chrome-less browser to look native. Now that I've though about it I think it could work rather well, but I'm still wondering what would be the benefit for the users of Android.
Edit: Now that I've seen vibrunazo's comment I think I get it. If Google build a web programming api that is the same as Android's programming for one is programming for the other. I think that would be truly awesome indeed, I enjoy developing for android, not so much for web.
I also think he could do a great job leading the nexus program or something alike in motorola, but I feel he'll just hang around for a little while so as not to create much fuzz before leaving google entirely.
How would that work? What would it be like? Android is powered by native apps, Chrome by cloud apps. Chrome already runs on Android. They have different approaches and I don't see how they how they could form a coherent whole or how one would benefit from a merger with the other. :/
I worked for the largest cellphone carrier in my country. I had write permission for the production db (not to all views, though) from my second week there onwards, the first week I used the credentials of the guy training me. The guy training knew the whole thing was wrong, mainly because once he ran a query that froze the db for half day. I was not a developer I was working in the help desk.
