More anti-trusts lawsuits please. Just put a fine of no lesser than a 100 Billion $ on these parasites.

I don't understand why Google would do this. I mean, you sell a phone that has an alternative operating system that runs well on it, and you sell more phones, right? Or do they actually sell hardware at a loss? Is that what's happening?

It’s been incredibly clear for a long time that the combination of greed, stupidity, and selfishness does not care about making money based on consumer happiness.

Product is a higher quality so people will buy more? That could mean that someone else can make a better thing, and implies choice. Bettee to just assure that the competition doesn’t exist and then we can make shittier, cheaper things that cost even more.

Four day work-weeks are more productive and make people happier? It also means they’ll expect respect and we can’t have that.

Basing the entire world power supply on gasoline is clearly a terrible idea and we should be looking to have a diverse set of sources, many of which are renewable? How about we just make up a bunch of lies and propaganda so that we never need to change?

Sony had to come up with lithium-ion batteries for their products because battery manufacturers were plenty happy making lead-acid and telling everyone who wanted more to go fuck themselves.

The reason you don’t understand is because you assume that there’s a level of morality to capitalism and to corporate decision making. There is less than zero, it’s awful on purpose.

Damn America loves itself a duopoly.

Writing has been on the wall about what would happen with no adequate balances in place to prevent this kind of takeover.

And yet they force people to buy google phones to use their ROM.

At least soon there will be support for Motorola.

Force is a bit much. They are using an existing set of tools to build their OS.
