So Google has released their new phone platform, Android. As with any brand new platform you’d expect there to be some problems. This one, however, makes all others look pretty minor.
A bug just discovered in Android actually interprets anything you type as system commands.
Someone discovered this when helping his girlfriend with her PC. When he told her via text message to, “reboot”, and his phone restarted.
This is what the term “Epic Fail” was made for.
