My friend, Paul Hendrick (at 3.32) managed to get himself on [ABC’s] Jimmy Kimmel Live last night while we’re over here [visiting Hollywood, Los Angeles] on a J1, making a fool of himself and/or our nation in general, he’s a whore for attention so a lot more would be greatly appreciated.

Those debates are largely academic; what happened could be said to meet the definition of a coup, as well as that of a revolution.

But even though both words might apply, neither is in itself enough to describe what happened: It was both a coup and a popular movement, both the expression and subversion of Egypt’s democratic experiment.

And although some academic literature finds that coups can be democratizing that doesn’t make them democratic.

Bluebox Security, a stealth security startup claims to have discovered a flaw in Google’s Android operating system which can enable rogue apps to gain full access to the Android system, read all data, harvest passwords and create a botnet and also turn any legitimate application into a malicious Trojan, completely unnoticed by the app store, the phone, or the end user.

Potentially, this could affect any Android phone manufactured in the last 4 years, some 900 million devices.

The flaw enables a hacker to modify the Master Key or APK code without breaking the cryptographic signature. A hacker could have access to any or all permissions on a device.

Everyone stay cool.
