Re: Google sends C&D notice to Microsoft over youtube app
Microsoft didn't disable the ads... It's a pretty First, Google would not create a version of their App for YouTube for either Xbox or WP. After pressuring from MS, Google assisted with creation of the Xbox App (with ads) and everyone was happy. Then things got interesting when Google wouldn't assist with the WP App. The API's were different from the desktop to mobile sites, so Microsoft took it upon themselves to log in to the public feed - yes, public feed - and create a great YouTube App themselves. If Google would provide ALL vendors with proper API's and controls, this would be a complete non-issue... But they do not, and will continue to screw with 3rd party vendors until they start paying for services. Look what they did to Apple at the end of that agreement - poof! Good Luck Apple! Microsoft and Google will reach an agreement - because without Microsoft, Google is worthless (no a Chrome PC will not replace my Windows PC) and without Google, Microsoft is half way to becoming a monopoly again.
