Hello Justin and Team, In the interest of taunting and the real benefits it will bring to the android customer base (both carriers and end customers) please consider publishing the gallery in rank order :-)
This Michael Porter artical "The Competitive Advantage of Nations" http://harvardbusinessonline.hbsp.harvard.edu/b01/en/common/item_detail.jhtml?id=90211&referral=7855 explains that if you want to win in the global marketplace, there must be personal rivalry. Yes, every place he found world domination, there it was, emperically. (read the pdf version - it has better graphics). All the ambiguity of middle rank may not be something one should hide to promote social order and the disinterest that goes with it. Rather, put stuff in the gallery in rank order (at least as an option) as a service to the viewers and as a taunting vehicle. Yes, people would need to know their numbers for taunting to be easily available. Just a thought.
