DZone has an interesting, if short, article about a young scammer who apparently understands what "snake oil" is and was selling the digital equivalent. He sold an app through the Google Play Store that purported to scan an Android device for malware but, in fact, did nothing. It did, however, keep its other promises such as no ads and a minimal impact on battery life.

SN is supposed to be just like the other site before the other site turned into the the crappy other site. Whenever that was.
Submitting stale stories with one line summaries is a time honored tradition!

Fair enough.
Now THAT's a valid counterargument, not the silly "oh yeah why don't you do better" bullshit of the "DotF" poster above.
