Wait so your ok with Google requiring Microsoft to use HTML5 when they themselves can't get it to work right in the apps they write. What this says to me is they want Microsoft phone users to have a subpar experience .
Just because Ad Dweebs like to use verbs as nouns does not in any way make it correct. It really just makes them look either stupid or evil in a 1984 kinda way (or both, most likely both)
Except Microsoft never used their status to intentionally screw with the end user, sure they were a prick when it came to competitors but not you and me. Google on the other hand wants to know everything about you so they can share that with whoever will give them fat wads of cash.
When it comes down to pure evil I don't think Microsoft was ever even in the class Google is headed towards.
"To me this seems like a case of "too stubborn and proud to accept they need help" and they got their app blocked."
Actually they did ask, they even offered to pay Google for their help in writing the App, Google refused. You should stop commenting as you obviously know nothing about the reality of the situation.
What, no Google refused to write the app for Microsoft. Microsoft did nothing of the sort.
"Google, which makes official YouTube apps for iPhones and Android devices, has refused to build one for Windows Phone. The company claims that the market share of Windows Phone is too small to justify the effort and resources it will have to make to create official apps."
"However Microsoft isn't allowing Google to write the Windows Phone app." - This is a flat out lie and is the complete opposite from the reality of the situation, I understand you hate Microsoft but please stick to the facts.
Microsoft is no longer a monopoly and hasn't been for awhile. If you hate the behavior that Microsoft used to do then you are being a hypocrite by not applying those same standards to Google.
Google is preventing Microsoft from making an app with the same feature set as Android and iOS. Basically Google is saying use your fucking browser, and denying MS from offering the same access to youtube as the major Phone os's do. It's a nice karmic payback but remember if anyone knows the in's and out's of these laws it is Microsoft. I expect if this goes to court Google will be forced to acquiesce.
That sounds like Google using it's monopoly position in serving video (they are the 900lb gorilla) to protect Android from a competitor. Microsoft's actions may not be perfect in this but Google's may be outright illegal. I guess it all depends on the current antitrust suit.
Assange (the rapist), you mean because he had consensual sex he is a rapist. No trial has been held and no conviction has been made. So you go way too far in calling him a rapist.
And what do you mean by "Anyway, what did he "whistleblow"? That the Patriot Act is still law? Everything he revealed is in compliance with that law," That's only true if you think the 4th amendment isn't law.
No it took a rocket the size of a skyscraper and weighing as much as a diesel submarine to get a tiny capsule to the moon. The rocket itself was destroyed in the process.
Government's move slow, but maybe they have found a way to make even the travel agencies algorithms more efficient. Maybe based on their access to far more information then any one company (hey they all have to deal with the US at some point, and as we are learning if you deal with us we take everything) they have been able to more finely tune their systems.
The fact the Navy does it's R&D under civilian control is good. Its the same reason the President is the top of the chain of command but is not a member of the armed forces. It allows the creations to be filtered through a more moral viewpoint. And before you argue with me on that point, imagine a a world without that filter. Not everything put in place by congress is bad. It may not be efficient and it may cost more but we should not base all of our decisions on a cost analysis.
Ok the Expedia / etc comparison was stupid to bring into the comparison as there is very little comparison unless you consider people freight. But this is kind of awesome. They have developed a JIT freight system that is potentially accessible to the individual shipper that helps make for more efficient shipping. I wonder how much they borrowed from the private shippers like UPS and FedEx. But hey they have access to much more refined data about global shipments so I would guess they make the big boys of private enterprise look like rank amateurs in shipping analytics, mostly because they look at it from a far more encompassing point of view. And if this system is making the Navy money outside of our taxes then I am all for it, especially because it is a globally beneficial system. Bonus points for the fact that the major benefit is non-violent.
Plug in a mouse? Or just use the keyboard and trackpad built into the cover. Clearly your a moron for not being able to understand that. If you going to insult people then its going to get returned.
Now pull your head out of your ass, the air's better out here and you'll actually be able to see.

I know you weren't replying to me, but I need to not have a girlfriend (or at least not the one I currently have)

"consulting the Google engineers who'd been working with them"
Well actually they did, Google brushed them off, they offered to pay and Google still told them to fuck off, and no they would get no help.

No one is bound by Network Neutrality. It's a great concept but it doesn't exist in real life.

Oh so Microsoft has extra requirements that they don't impose on Android or iOS? And your ok with that?
What bullying can Microsoft do any more. I would say the bigger bully today would be Google, you know, "you have no expectation of privacy" Google
Sounds suspiciously like Microsoft and it's secret API's for office back in it's heyday.

Do you have any evidence to support your accusation?
No it took a rocket the size of a skyscraper and weighing as much as a diesel submarine to get a tiny capsule to the moon. The rocket itself was destroyed in the process.
Yeah what a crazy idea, wait wasn't that a description of what "the cloud" is now, that and the chromebook.
Larry when you learn not to cheat in the AC45 class maybe just maybe will listen to you.

Like? more like require, at least if you want their insurance.
