Kill Switch
Just like the Apple with its iPhone, Google is looking to keep its Android phone programs under tight reins
The news that Apple’s iPhone had a kill switch built in that could destroy users apps that they had bought and paid for was at first met with incredulity. When users discovered that the rumors were indeed true, they reacted with shock and anger. Now Google has a similar situation brewing after it was revealed that its G1 phone which features its Android OS has a similar kill switch.
The tidbit was gleaned from the user contract terms of Google’s Android Market, which it uses to sell software, similar to Apple’s App Store. The terms stated that Google can remotely kill your programs, describing, “Google may discover a product that violates the developer distribution agreement … in such an instance, Google retains the right to remotely remove those applications from your device at its sole discretion.”
While the G1 phone from T-Mobile does not go on sale till October 22, many have been lent to reporters, so detailed information is becoming available. While some may be angry at Google’s decision, others are saying Google is treating the issue in more of a sensitive manner than Apple. Google is acknowledging the kill switch for Android at the time of release. Apple, critics point out, only acknowledged that a kill switch existed when a developer discovered it and loudly pronounced its existence to the internet community.
Also Google says that it will try to refund users for any deleted Apps. While this sounds common sense, iPhone users have yet to discover if they will get anything back if Apple deletes their Apps. Google, on the other hand, says it will make “reasonable efforts to recover the purchase price of the product … from the original developer on your behalf.” It will recover as much as it can from the developer and if it cannot offer a full refund it will redistribute whatever it collects to give a partial refund.

Switch $26.99 After the success of Moontan, Golden Earring could have easily parlayed its success into international stardom by continuing to play up that album’s commercial elements. Instead, the group did an about-face, pursuing uncommercial song themes and pushing the prog rock side of its sound to the fore (this move included the addition of Dutch prog rock keyboardist Robert Jan Stips, formerly of Supersister, to the lineup). The band even lampooned the sexy cover art of its recent hit album with a similar cover that replaced the gorgeous showgirl on Moontan with a marionette. The result is an album that lacks the consistent sound and coherence of Moontan, but makes up for it with an adventurous spirit and plenty of instrumental firepower. Highlights include “Love Is a Rodeo,” a tune that starts as a thrilling guitar rocker before taking a sudden left turn into a finger-snapping instrumental coda dominated by synthesizer, and “Kill Me (Ce Soir),” a mystical epic that starts with a pulsating bassline and builds to a thunderous, orchestrated climax as its lyrics present a surprisingly incisive portrait of how society inevitably destroys its idols. A downside is that, by encompassing so many different styles, the songs lack the logical flow that would allow Switch to feel like a full, cohesive album. Another problem is that the lyrics have a bitter and defensive tinge (especially on “The Switch,” a hard-edged explanation of the group’s artistic rationale) that sometimes sits at odds with the exciting quality of the music. Despite these problems, Switch remains a solid album that Golden Earring’s fan base will enjoy; the disc might also appeal to adventurous fans of prog and hard rock. ~ Donald A. Guarisco, All Music GuidePerformers: Bertus Borgers – Saxophone; Eelco Gelling – Guitar, Slide Guitar; Rinus Gerritsen – Bass, Harp, Keyboards; Barry Hay – Flute, Vocals; George Kooymans – Guitar, Vocals; Robert Jan Stips – Keyboards; Cesar Zuiderwijk – Drums, Percussion |
