Re: **** google. I'm out of their ecosystem 100% now.
^ ha ha ha thats funny!! So google is trying to be like APPLE?
Not at all... with Apple you at least know what you are getting:
- You know that Apple will maintain tight control over everything from hardware, to software, to their entire ecosystem. Nobody else allowed.
- You know Apple will ban competitors at a whim, because iOS isn't an open platform on which companies are welcome to do business... iOS is only a platform for Apple's business.
- You know Apple will sell you overpriced products in exchange for printing the Apple logo on them.
- You know that Apple builds devices with limited functionality, in exchange for stability and something so simple even your grandmothers dog can learn to use them.
Some of those things may be good or bad, depending on what you expect from technology, but they are all well understood. Apple readily admits to them. We know how Apple earns it's money.
With Google nobody knows... we know they will search through your social network, your contacts, every e-mail you received and every e-mail you ever sent on gmail, your maps, what books you read, what websites you visit, what movies you watch, everything. But we have no idea what information they extract and who it is sold to. They are champions of saving the internet from government regulations (very good), while aspiring to control it entirely themselves (bad).
When was the last time you encountered a company who's dealings are so mirky, that they found it necessary to come up with a slogan explaining what the
don't do (evil)?
