Wow, it's not as big news as the Moto merger (which is now being discussed in another thread - thanks for splitting that out), but check out the story about Samsung hiring Cyanogen! That's pretty huge news.

It's also fairly ironic that Samsung, who IMO has the worst Android skin of all the manufacturers, hired the guy who makes the ROM that a lot of people use to get away from that skin. I hope he keeps up his promise to continue working on CM, and I'm extremely curious what Samsung has him doing for them. Is he working on their own skin? If so, that has the potential to be a very positive thing. Cyanogen (I can't not call him that) sometimes seems to know Android better than the Google programmers who make it. Perhaps he can make Samsung's skin not suck so much...
