That Steve Jobs Android slam from Apple’s earnings call. Well, Google has swung into action with…a tweet. Andy Rubin, Google’s Android chief has put his dormant Twitter account into action to send his first tweet. So what brutal putdown did he offer to Steve Jobs, master of communication? ??Well to the untrained eye, a load of gibberish…
Rubin’s tweet read: “The definition of open: ‘mkdir android ; cd android ; repo init -u git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest.git ; repo sync ; make.’” Translated into human, that’s the code you need to use Android in its open source form. It’s a clever geeky repost but won’t get the attention Steve Jobs’ volley of verbal punches will pick up.
