I leave this quote from the The Guardian in 2009 described users' comments on YouTube as:
"Juvenile, aggressive, misspelled, sexist, homophobic, swinging from raging at the contents of a video to providing a pointlessly detailed description followed by a LOL, YouTube comments are a hotbed of infantile debate and unashamed ignorance – with the occasional burst of wit shining through"...ironically though your posting this AC:)
The fact that you post it in a belief that your supporting your favourite mega corporation is a little sad, I assume you are posting AC because Apple and Microsoft are equally good [if not better] at avoiding paying tax.
The reality all companies over 100 employees avoid paying any tax, pretending that its *unique* to Google or *new* f**king sickens me, as the problem is the system needs to be fixed.
if anybody actually wanted one of those raspberry turds they could just buy one...
Ignoring your anger issues, They have given *cheap* *open* *hackable* devices, to build platform independent computer *science* skills, which can only be considered wonderful. If they had given out [locked] Chromebooks [or Google Docs] to lock children into their ecosystem, I'd be looking at this the same as the whole Discounted *cough* Apple/Microsoft products for schools we have seen for years, like crack.
I don't see this accomplishing much though. If they're given to teachers for classroom use, most of the teachers aren't going to know what the fuck to do with them
The pi was invented to solve the problem of students leaving without computer science skills [only office skills], part of the problem is solved by the raspberry pi, cheap hackable equipment....if the teachers are not capable of teaching as you claim...that is a different problem.
Google, where are the Raspberry Pi for the kids in the United States???
Maybe because the Raspberry Pi is...an UK project started at the University of Cambridge to solve a UK problem. Computing becoming less about computer science...and more about web design and office.
Its not a bias thing. The UK is not getting Google Fiber.;)
What was #1? I want to know if my MySpace account is worth anything.
MySpace is 15th perhaps you should have read the article. Although the company as a whole sold on June 2011 to Specific Media Group and Justin Timberlake who jointly purchased the company for approximately $35 million. From the graph...about 50 Cent an active user.
And Facebook is #1 with 95% of the global populace. The other 5% who didn't use Facebook were nerds who spent all day telling everyone in various other forums how they don't use Facebook.
Google+ is currently half that sitting at 350 Million [youtube at 300Million]. Which shows how incredibly successful it is on its own merits.
The bottom line though is Facebook has nothing close to your market penetration figures , let alone saturation of the market, or even your massive market share claim lead over Google+, perhaps if you had spent less time, attacking people for working hard and taking interest in the more academic subjects at school you wouldn't look so backward.
If you want to put in a review on any app you downloaded to your Android phone into Google Play Store
It does, and there is little doubt this *will* boost Google+ numbers, although I would argue that it is a social interaction [or at least exhibits features of one...like youtube] and Google is simply merging these together. Its less inflating figures...more consolidating social interaction...because users are interacting through Googles services *socially*.
The reality is Google is aggressively pushing its Google+ thought its *successful* social services. The fact that users continue to review apps / comment on video is a sign of it working.
...Apparently though its not Apple who are pretty much been anti-consumer for some time with EFF and others trying to keep the option of jailbreaking legal (Its still illegal on your iPad)
"Crashes & instability Malfunctioning & safety Invasion of privacy Exposing children to age-inappropriate content Viruses & malware Inability to update software Cellular network impact Piracy of developers’ applications Instability of developers’ applications Increased support burden Developer relationships The Apple/iPhone brand Limitation on ability to innovate"
It also says your breaking Licence agreements and copyright infringement too as well as well as DMCA anti-circumvention
Boycott Apple products...Its not like there are mass of better value alternatives, that support this.
Openarena is an excellent project that has matured over years, and has been my own benchmark of how Linux has improved. I have played it small window on a sis, on a early x800 with missing features, through various i815, i915, G45, HD4000 and through to full speed on my HD4000 go integrated graphics.
I am not sure why anyone here object to it being labelled *Adult content* its blood; with bikini chicks http://images.wikia.com/openarena/images/b/bb/AngelyssDark.png [or overly muscular gargoyles if you prefer] and unshakably is so and that is great. For others there is "world of padman" http://worldofpadman.net/website/ which has some beautiful content...if not the sex and violence.
The link shows in that case they jailbroke the phone to unlock it (not always the case as there have been unlocks that did not require jailbreaking, or your carrier may just unlock it also).
But it also shows that the original point - jailbreaking has nothing to do with unlocking - is correct. Jailbreaking is a totally different thing and not covered by this edict; in fact jailbreaking has been explicitly declared legal.
So can you please stop digging the hole?
The insanity that comes with protecting a mega corporation is sometimes frightening especially when Apple are not coming out and protecting *their* users, in fact they tried the very same behaviour only a year ago...and were only stopped by EFF.
The sad fact is waffle aside I personally needed to *jailbreak* a phone, to enable functionality I wanted. You can't change that empirical fact that's just weird. Apple implicated the restrictions not the carrier:)
I'm sorry you were late to the smartphone race, in *context* of this article Apple used to have carrier exclusive deals these were preserved through software locks on the phone. You should check your facts before attacking other people. Its against the law here;)
Don't let facts get in the way of a good Apple bash though.
As someone who owned a iPhone locked to the O2 to service in the UK, and had to *jailbreak it* to use on an alternative network, what do you think they are going lock the phones down with a padlock.
I am sorry if your favourite mega-corporation treats its customers like cattle
... if carriers actually released updated to their modified versions of the OS with little delay.
Its *not acceptable* never mind fair. You own the phone, implying your hire it is a disgrace. If your only hiring it they should massively reduce costs, and inform you clearly they own the phone.
This will stop absolutely no one. Just like to stopped no one before there was an exemption.
...and is not the point, removing a right of ownership over something your have bought to do with as you please...and who is to say it will be possible going further...we have the same Apple users begging the government to remove their privacy, by permanently linking a phone to a person.
No no you don't. Aooke have pretty much been anti-consumer for some time with EFF and others trying to keep the option of jailbreaking legal (Its still illegal on your iPad)

Its a shame you are not serious. Eric Schmidt announced Android covered its costs with android revenue in Newsweek October 2010, when it only activated 200,000 Android devices. It now activates 1.5Million users daily and has a revenue of Over $8Billion a year with a growth 320% year on year.
Ignoring your insults...do you really not know why Google do Android. Google‘s original base intention with Android was just to make sure that Google wasn’t shut out of the mobile market. It is expected to make $4Billion from mobile advertising in the US alone this year.
Still don't believe me CEO Larry Page last conference call for *last quarter* [Now selling 1.5Billion device daily] "This time last year, I announced that our run rate from mobile advertising hit $2.5 billion . . . But now, we’ve built up additional mobile revenue from users paying for content and apps in Google Play . . . I can announce our new run rate for mobile is now over $8 billion. That’s quite a business."
Calling someone a fanboy, just because your too lazy to Google is a disgrace.
The Irony of your post is ignoring the fact that its not even remotely true, [Google for instance do awful well from Android.] is that Samsung make Windows Phones...you don't hear much about them, for good reason.
News Flash: Business learned long ago that there are different tools for different jobs.
That is not even remotely true, it generally buys thousands of identical large dull brand boxies, of the lowest specifications, and may or may not roll out a new OS or browser every 10 years...and to be perfectly honest would prefer working on one of those to that. I think business is the wrong market for this product.

They killed Youtube. No amount of PR campaigns will win me back after killing the last free voice people like us had.

Which would be more impressive if there were more than 4 social networks with over 100 users on the planet.
All of top ten social networks have more than 100million users, perhaps you should have read the article. http://globalwebindex.net/thinking/social-platforms-gwi-8-update-decline-of-local-social-media-platforms/
Can I really be counted as I don't participate?
If you read the article you would not be counted *unless* you participate hence the measure of active users.
And Facebook is #1 with 95% of the global populace. The other 5% who didn't use Facebook were nerds who spent all day telling everyone in various other forums how they don't use Facebook.
http://globalwebindex.net/thinking/social-platforms-gwi-8-update-decline-of-local-social-media-platforms/ the original article puts Facebook at 650Millionish about half of the PC Market 1.2Billion...or about a 10% of the worldwide population of 7Billion.
Google+ is currently half that sitting at 350 Million [youtube at 300Million]. Which shows how incredibly successful it is on its own merits.

Android loses money for everyone except Samsung.
The Irony of your post is ignoring the fact that its not even remotely true, [Google for instance do awful well from Android.] is that Samsung make Windows Phones...you don't hear much about them, for good reason.
The correct comparison is:
- 1 Surface Pro
...no the correct comparison is *never* an Apple product.
