I kind of don't understand why people would drop these, who else would take over? I realize you don't want monopolies, want competition to bring out innovation.

I kind of don't understand why people would drop these, who else would take over? I realize you don't want monopolies, want competition to bring out innovation. But at the same what else do you have left from the internet unless your life isn't already heavily integrated with these services. edit: I don't have an Apple product myself. Though the build quality is nice, it's expensive (and I am poor) also never used/could be confusing to use iOS/Mac OS. Use Gmail... but you can use hotmail (microsoft), Yahoo (yikes). Chrome browser (google) ... Youtube (google) ahh you can use Vimeo... Don't use Facebook (don't have friends) though their marketing/advertising for a business is great. Just my useless opinion
