- Yeah, hate that Google walled garden. Much better to go with Apple.
- Yeah, that gmail specific stuff is evil, except it isn't gmail specific at all.
- Yeah, killing browsers with Chrome. Just like IE6 except it's open source, cross-platform, evergreen, and pushes standards forward rather then trying to subvert them. The biggest problem now is others like MS using their browser engine is reducing diversity, but I guess that's their fault for making it open source. evil!
- And yeah, they have now officially destroyed VSCode (which includes lots of closed source MS stuff) by releasing a closed source extension.
- sosborn 8y ago> - Yeah, hate that Google walled garden. Much better to go with Apple. For a lot of people, it is.
- sgjohnson 8y agoI trust Apple not to sell my data. And I'm willing to pay the hardware markup for that.
- systemBuilder 8y agoYeah but I bet you get on your iPhone and POST on Facebook to your heart's content you hypocrite!
- skinnymuch 8y agoAre you joking or serious? You stated you were a Google employee before.
- tomComb 7y agoWhat are you talking about. I never stated that because I am not!
- skinnymuch 7y agoOkay so you’re a troll.
- sgjohnson 8y agoI don't use Facebook at all. They are just as bad as Google.
- tomComb 8y agoThe issue was OP's anger (to put it mildly) that Google was creating a walled garden.
- hcarvalhoalves 8y agoThese arguments don’t invalidate OP’s critique of Google’s positions though. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_wrongs_make_a_right https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_wrongs_make_a_right
- tomComb 8y agoYour only two options on mobile are Apple & Google and he is calling out Google (in fairly extreme terms) on a point where they are easily the better of the two. It shows what a silly contortion he was going through to tell us to hate Google.
