| > Microsoft, Amazon and Apple also sell ads. Not as their main or even major business lines. > AMP may tie publishers into their standard, but as a user I'd much prefer an AMP page to a dog slow publisher page on mobile. As a user I couldn't disagree more. When I go to a URL I want the content behind that URL. I don't read bloated garbage sites anyway, but even there I'd prefer the real site to the AMP Google-ware. > iOS has plenty of hidden spy apps, masque attacks, and iCloud backup attacks. Hidden spy apps? Would love to hear your source on that. None of these compare to the absolutely toxic Android ecosystem. > Apple, Amazon and Microsoft all routinely deprecate products. Nothing these companies has done rivals Google here. How many Google chat products have there been? > Plenty of privacy concerns with Amazon and Microsoft. Remains to be seen if Apple caves on the Pensacola iPhones. Google's business model is removing privacy. > Not sure how workplace politics or culture affects the user experience at all, sounds like you might be confusing your own prejudices with users at large. What prejudices would those be? I didn't even state a position other than they inject politics everywhere, which is undeniable. > Microsoft censors their products in China, Google does not. Irrelevant. > Amazon sells counterfeit products, Google does not. Amazon sells physical products, Google sells ads. > Apple refuses to interoperate with industry standards, Google does not. This is true about Apple but it's also true about Google. RSS anyone? Gmail's embrace/extend/extinguish of email protocols. AMP. I also think it's funny that my post went from +8 to flagged overnight. How many Google employees does it take to flag a popular post? Only you offered any sort of rebuttal to my statements but obviously many agree. |
