schestowitz__ | Why single out Google? Personally, I have a very real bone to pick - but that doesn't exclude Microsoft. I'd happily join in any Class Action against these American mega-corps (including Apple, and I'm a big Apple user). | Aug 30 18:31 |
schestowitz__ | Part of what annoys me with Google is the bare-faced way that they steal data from us. It's not so much that MS, AT&T give data away; it's the way that Google pretends to be our friend. | Aug 30 18:31 |
schestowitz__ | At least we know (or we should) that MS is evil; Google took GNU/Linux and re-branded it as Android (all completely legal, of course) but then wraps it up in masses of legal red-tape which most of us just sign up to without reading. This is where I see a line in the sand. | Aug 30 18:31 |
schestowitz__ | " | Aug 30 18:31 |
schestowitz__ | Red tape claims around Android are Microsoft-sourced FUD (trust me, I have tracked it for years). Claiming that Android is "not open" is Apple's smear, usually. | Aug 30 18:32 |
