They're bluffing the way Google was bluffing when they threatened to release their own browser to get around browser manufacturers controlling the default search, the way Google was bluffing when they threatened to release their own mobile OS and phone to get around phone manufacturers controlling the default search, maps, and other applications on phones, and the way Google is now bluffing when they threaten to become their own top tier ISP to get around ISPs controlling access to search or other applications.
- rms 17y agoSo that's a semi-bluff, if we want to be technical. ;)
- bobbyi 17y agoI don't see how those are similar to Zynga pulling out of Facebook and switching to "Zynga Live" which doesn't yet exist. Google didn't "pull out" of offering their services through the established browsers when they released their own. They didn't stop offering Google apps on the iPhone when they released Android.
