Right! One of the famous initial iPhone OS exploits involved a vulnerability in LibTiff. Decoding a crafted .tiff in Safari would grant the site's javascript root access.

Actually as of the Android M preview you can get the user email address without any permission guarding.
This is because GET_ACCOUNTS is under PROTECTION_NORMAL, and so it is automatically granted at install time.

Very real issue to consider as we all try to guide Android's imminent permission system update (Make noise and open issues!)
Is accessing nearby BSSIDs available in a similar fashion on iOS? A quick look reveals: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/System...

Our current offer is a significant cost reduction for a single high-quality broadcast to a large audience. On top of that we handle all the plumbing related to your iOS/Android cloud video app. Our SDK can manage all your application's broadcasts and users (if you choose).
I'm excited for our open-source Android and iOS clients to stimulate development of some novel video apps. Maybe Security monitoring systems or even Phone + $20 Weather balloon = Weather satellite!

Hello! Kickflip developer here!
The SoCs included with virtually every mobile device today have circuits designed specifically for encoding/decoding H.264 video and AAC audio. This is how your mobile device's native camera app reliably records HD video. Whether it's 640p or 1080p, there isn't a significant drain on system resources.
These chips were traditionally accessed via a standard OMX[1] library (Think OpenGL for Video hardware), but the OMX implementations were device specific, making it nearly impossible to write custom video software with mass market appeal.
Just recently (July '13 on Android), the video hardware has become somewhat controllable by the standard Android / iOS platform APIs allowing us to write a truly compatible video product.
We currently only offer single stream output. When we do offer multiple bitrate outputs (transcoding), we'll do that work serverside.
