It's not that there's no merit to the fragmentation concern, but... it seems overblown.

Lots of Gingerbread things run on my Ice Cream Sandwich Transformer, and Honeycomb things even moreso.

ICS and beyond will actually reduce fragmentation as phones and tables share a common platform.

Lots of noise and nervous nellies over a current inconvenience.

So many sensational words in the headline though... bomb, wounds, war!

Just trying to give the NSA and their Son of Carnivore all the data they can handle, and then some.

KDE is the bomb! Fragmentation is terrorism! Just wait until Shuttleworth uses the nuclear option! Dilute! Dilute! OK!

We need a JIHAD with our desktop environments! Shuttleworth is an infidel!

Careful, you don't want this site to go down like LinuxYesterday did.

Haha, cr, that's a years-old bug in Linux Today. They never fix anything. It's amazing that it ever works at all.

Really? And here was me thinking they'd finally implemented their pro-Microsoft-advertising bias across the board: 'no GNUs is good news'.
