    Opinions: Do you think Android devs should get "bug bounties"?

    Do you guys think it would be a good idea for Android open source developers to be awarded "bug bounties" (like Chromium devs) for fixing vital Android security vulnerabilities (like the Face Unlock privilege escalation vulnerability that allows you to take a picture to unlock someone else's phone)? Please explain your votes.

    Yeah, sure.. That should be a really good move to fix any security flaws especially like what'd happened to Apple (Siri and smart cover in iPad..)

    Anything to improve the stability and security of Android.

    Our company will not support Androids because of reported insecurities, only iOS and Blackberry at this time (nobody has a Win7Phone so that question hasn't had to be debated yet).
    To err is human, to really foul up requires a computer!
