=== Just FYI... after opening this link, === and in short succession this nearby one: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7404218 ("Bootflat"), something sent my Firefox browser and then my entire Galaxy Tab 8.9 (which has been functioning pretty flawlessly for 3+ years) into an unstable state.

I may have to root/wipe it now... :( I can't prove that it was caused by either this or the other link, but the coincidence is troubling... who checks these HN submissions for malware anyway?
