If your vendor doesn't want to play ( no pun intended ) and send Google what could amount to millions with all the hassle that goes with it, you cant just pony up the 75 cents yourself.
So what does this mean for people that run alternate OSs built from source ( like CMxxx ) or have "generic" products? What about people that have existing products with no vendor support? We will not have Google services at all and Google will disable it ( not just the play store, but everything that goes with services )?
Makes the devices pretty worthless for many, and might even drive people away from android.
While that particular job may be a lost cause, what about when you meet this guy at another company for a job you really want? Or if he talks to other companies at the local golf club?
That bridge you just toasted may be a hell of a lot wider and longer than you can imagine.
Gas is expensive Insurance is expensive Jobs are hard to come by, especially for teens They grew up socializing on-line so r/l meets are not as important now Did i mention jobs are hard to come by?
Who gets to define that? In a free market ( which no one in the world has one in reality.. some countries are closer than others, but none are true free-market ) the market should get to decide, not some dude writing a column.
But not forever, your law is just forcing an extension to warranties, not a 'forever' thing.
How long a warranty should reasonably last on a particular item we can all debate, but i was just saying that once its out, its over and that is that. When you buy an item you know up front what the warranty is ( in effect a contract ). If the warranty is unreasonable to you don't buy the product.
The problem here is that i was responding to a post that was clearly related to a business environment and not in a 'consumer' environment. That you are not in that situation means your comments don't apply here, and you are taking mine out of context.
And just for the record, you are incorrect as you are an end user by definition ( which everyone is to some degree or another ), and you are also obviously a moron, with low reading comprehension skills.
Warranties do not, and should not last forever ( much as your hardware will not last forever if you use it ). If your device has made it since 2011, its not a 'defect', but worn out. ( heat and silicon are not friends )
While it would suck, I wouldn't expect a company to even call me back after my warranty has expired. Their liability has expired.
And is grounds for termination on the spot. Circumvention of corporate resources is frowned upon.
Sure MDM isn't *perfect* ( same as "everything is vulnerable"... ) but it goes a long way to prevent people from doing wrong things, and goes even further to help catch them doing it.
Now, that out of the way, some vendor's MDM is far better than others, sounds like you have been involved with the 'not as better' group.
Better blacklist windows, apple, blackberry, desktops, laptops.... Everything is vulnerable. Even your users. Its how you mitigate the ongoing risk that separates the men from the boys.
If you are competent enough to use MDM on your mobile devices then your end users wouldn't be installing non-approved apps anyway so they would be at minimal risk of exposure to this. If you are not, then you are just a clueless blow-hard moron and don't deserve to be in your position..

If only I could get that kind of free marketing for my own endeavors.
Once you are capable of sending robots to mars, we can talk.
Should be the status of the fishermen. Just before they are tossed in the water to fend for themselves with ( no longer restrained ) dolphins.
Of course, knowing dolphins and how caring they are, they would most likely rescue the bastards.
Seriously, what federal government program has ever been rolled back?
Age *will* bite you at some point, as an employee. A lot of companies don't want to be the place where you wind down on your way to retirement.

He may not, but i do.
Drive them into bankruptcy. Screw them and their 1980s throwback to the bad days of CompuServe, GEnie and AOL
Using the internet at all is opt-in.
Want to try again?
They cant legally bill you for something you did not order.
Yes, please start shipping me items i did not request.. I like free stuff coming to my house.

Ultimately Google is opt-in on their tracking. NSA is not.

Without a brand you have no company.
Do you have to be so insulting, derogative, condescending and patronizing?
Yes.

Have a nice day.
While i agree, that isn't how the world works today. People expect to be babysat their entire life.
Just look at the 'settlement' for the bad parenting skills and iPhone apps we just saw happen?

Simple: humans are violent by nature, its in our DNA. War and competition are what drives the world. Peace and submission does not.
*wave* goodbye!
Who are you again and why do we care you are leaving?
