Google has one requirement: "You have to make a crippled HTML5 app for Windows Phone since we are assholes and we hate you". Microsoft is asking Google to be allowed to write a native app similar to what is available on Android and iOS and Google is answering: "No way in Hell. Ever. Under any circumstance. You will only be allowed to write a crippled HTML5 app. Fuck you!".
That's not what MS is asking. They are asking "your stuff, the way you want, in a native app similart to your native app for iOS and Android". The answer from Google is "No fucking way, the only thing we will allow on Windows Phone is a crippled HTML5 app with far less fetaures".
You can't read, can you? You do know that the HTML5 route is impossible right. Microsoft would end up with the HTML5 version of youtube.com and what would be the point of that, it is already available for Windows Phone. Microsoft wants to create an app with the same features as the youtube app for Android and iOS and Google is saying: "Sorry, we hate your guts so you are not going to be allowed to do that. Now fuck off.".Do no evil my ass. Google today is worse than Microsoft at its worst.
Google isn't preventing Microsoft from making a Youtube app that just loads their website, so Windows users can have one-touch access to Youtube as well
There is no need, since this capability is built into Windows Phone. I can bookmark it and make it look like an app. That isn't what Microsoft is aiming to do. Microsoft is aiming to get the same user experience to the Windows Phone as is currently available for Android and iOS and Google is basically saying "sorry, you can't have that. No way. Ever.".
I recommend reading up on what you are commenting on before making dumb comments.
Ok, so MS are given permission by Google to write a YouTube app. MS goes ahead and allows users to download videos. When a 7th grader knows this is against Google's TOS
Sigh. Reading before posting would make you seem less retarded. The app did not have the ability to download videos, that was the much older version of the app that Microsoft pulled already.
At some point Microsoft will fix their app to work the same way the Blackberry one does and then Google will allow it through
Not true. Google has stated that the only way Microsoft will get the app through is if it is written in HTML5 and Javascript. No other YouTube app is, since you can not get the same user experience. Please read what you comment on before making a fool out of your self. Google has stated unequivocally that Microsoft will not be allowed to write an application equivalent to the on that exists on Android and iOS (both are native apps).
If Microsoft had any extra restrictions beyond those on Blackberry they would have told us about that
They have. Google demands Microsoft abandons any attempt at writing a native app and only write an HTML5/JS app. There is no point in writing an HTML5 app since the HTML5 version of youtube.com works perfectly fine on Windows Phone.
MS may not like that they have to use the HTML5 API
This has nothing to do with APIs. This is Google demanding MS writes the entire app in HTML5 and Javascript. That simply isn't possible. Google are assholes and it is time the Justice Department steps in and breaks them up. Just like it was time when Microsoft was doing the same shit. No matter who is doing it it is wrong, and it only hurts consumers. Defending Google doing this just shows the person defending it has Larry's dick so far up their ass that their brain is suffering.
The sticking point is that third party apps must use the HTML5 API according to both Google and MS
No, it isn't. Please read the article before showing everybody you are ignorant as well as dumb. Google says Microsoft are not allowed to write a native app, they have to write the app in HTML5 (nothing to do with using "HTML5 APIs", whatever that might be). The entire app has to be HTML5 and Javascript according to Google. Microsoft claims this is not possible, and Google proves them right since Google has never done such a thing. Considering an HTML5 app would be cross-platform and therefore save Google a lot of work, if it was possible, Google would have done it. Instead they have native apps for iOS and Android both. They stating Microsoft is not allowed to do the same for Windows Phone.
So you can't read. No, "want" had nothing to do with it. Microsoft claims it can't be done, and Google agrees with them since they have not been able to do it them selves. Please read things before making dumb statements like this.
good offices with Microsoft to persuade them to help me write MS office for my platform
Are you retarded? If you want to create analogies, why not start with something simple, like car analogies. You clearly do not master this. What on earth makes you think that a de-facto monopolist (which Microsoft is in regards to Office) is required to develop that same application for other platforms? When did anyone argue that?
Sad to see people with no brains, no arguments and nothing but the Google religion modding this "Troll". I guess that is all they have. No brains all religion.
While i don't agree with what Google are doing, MS actually deserve to have a taste of their own crap for once.
It's sad to see retarded shit like this. So you are OK with a company screwing its customers and abusing its monopoly but not another. Seems like you have been deep-throating Larry and Sergey for too long.
Google HAS a running HTML5 implementation of Youtube... it's called www.youtube.com !!!
Are you retarded by choice or by birth? Yes, there is youtube.com and it works excellently on Windows Phone as well as on Android and iPhone. Seems like you do not understand the difference between an application and a web page though. You can ask an adult if you wish.
Google them selves are unable to do what they are demanding Microsoft does. YouTube for iOS and Android are native apps, not HTML5 apps. For a reason.
Which I'm reading as "fuck it, too hard, let's just release what we've done and see what happens".
More like - "can't be done". It can't. HTML5, even in Chrome, is not there. Can't be done. That is why Google has never tried it. Android and iOS apps are both native since that is required to make them as useful as they are. If it was so easy, don't you think Google would have done it rather than maintaining two separate and quite incompatible code bases?
Sadly, the entire/. fanboy crowd is now bending forwards and opening up their butt cheeks to have Google sodomize them. That's the difference between developers of the 90's and developers of today. When Microsoft tried to sodomize an entire industry it protested loudly eventually leading to indictments and a conviction. The sad, pathetic excuses of nerds and geeks today run around/. bragging loudly about their sore rear-ends that have been violently pounded by Larry and Sergey. Sadly the/. geek community found religion in Linus, Sergey and Larry, and they think sodomization by either is part of the salvation. Thankfully Linus doesn't do it. They all wish he did though.
The monopoly in this case is Google, and the tactics they are using is trying to leverage that monopoly to prevent competition in an unrelated (mobile) space. In fact, Google is doing now exactly what Microsoft was convicted of doing, and the fact that you think it is OK that your favorite company is doing it while others not so much shows that you really are incapable of forming rational thoughts.
It's sad to see really. Religious nuts have long since taken over/.. Rational though is not easy to find. Perhaps it is Larry's d*ck in your mouth banging too hard against what is left of your "brain".
The appropriate term is "utilizing a de-facto monopoly in one area to crush competition in another area". It is illegal. It is evil. It is what Microsoft used to be. It is what Google is now. People giving Microsoft flack for doing it and giving Google a pass for doing exactly the same have Larry and Sergey's dicks so far up their asses they are unable to think. That's pretty far.
But it does mean they are probably breaking the law. They can not leverage a de-facto monopoly in one area to block competition in another. That is what Google is doing now. It is what Microsoft was convicted of doing. This only shows that there is no difference between the two, but at the moment the evil behavior is on part of Google, and supporting it is moronic.
Slashdot Mirror
However MS admits that they didn't do what Google asked them to do
Nope, they are claiming it can't be done, and Google is agreeing with them since they can't do it themselves.

Open web != Use our stuff any way you want

Were you born retarded or did the slamming of Larry's dick against the back of your throat cause this brain damage?

See, the reason why MS has such a bad rep compared to Google (and considerably less trust from the public) is because of their past bad conduct.
Funny. So it is OK for Google to do it because Microsoft was convicted of it? You logic is astonishing. For a three year old.

Deep throating Larry Page again?
To me this seems like a case of "too stubborn and proud to accept they need help" and they got their app blocked
That is because you can't read. You should ask your mom to have your primary school refund your money, they failed completely.
However Microsoft isn't allowing Google to write the Windows Phone app.
You should stop taking drugs now.
