Links for Thursday September 22^nd, 2011

• Google shamed by Apple in race to HTML5: The biggest thing that I'm confused about, by far, with Google's big Android push, is why the Android browser isn't the best in class. Apple's Safari (on desktop and mobile), and Google's own Chrome browser, seem to be much better in terms of speed, accuracy, and standards compliance, than Google's Android browser.

• Make things: Lovely blog post from Caterina Fake (of Flickr fame), on why it's great to make things.

• Voting to Hire a Chief Without Meeting Him: What an unbelievable story. I feel for HP's employees and investors, if these are the folks who are running the show over there.

• Changes to OnStar's Privacy Terms Rile Some Users: It's kindof freaky to think that your car could be tracking you, even after you cancel OnStar.
