> Google will begin to verify the identities of developers distributing their apps on Android devices, not just those who distribute via the Play Store

This is absolutely unacceptable. That's like you having to submit your personal details to Microsoft in order to just run a program on Windows. Absolutely nuts and it will not go as they think it will.

The nice thing about Windows is that you don't have to. You will need to pay a couple hundred dollars for a certificate and have the first couple hundred people who open your signed executable click through your warnings though.

Yes, you can turn off smartscreen (for now) but opening random executables is getting harder and harder.
