    Infected Google Play Store apps? Unbelievable, I mean, who'd have thunk? o_O

    Looks to be risky business with those for some time now but with megatons of pack-about phones with Goo Goo, and fast times connection, they can be infected in record time. It's the new fashion trend.

    I don't think it's a priority for Google.
