I am surprised, shocked, and dismayed to see a fine journalistic source such as Slashdot stoop to yellow journalism, as it were. There is absolutely nothing suspicious about the origin of the website being being in Shenzen, China and the summary's implication of this is absolutely untoward. I expect a full apology posted immediately, then duped again tomorrow.

Instead, I have to say 'the droid is known to have data stealing apps and no I can't tell you which ones suck ass, just get yourself an iPhone so apple can protect you, its far easier on all of us'
What the fuck is wrong with you?
You imply that you're tech-savvy and then in the same post assume Apple will protect them? Sneaking code by Apple is completely impossible! Oh wait... [wired.com]
