I don't understand the critical tone nor the logic behind this piece and I can't imagine what those complaints to the DOJ might look like "We can freely access and use the source code but we want more!"
Also the Elop comment was hilarious, and since when does businessweek care about open source?!
- mtarnovan 16y agoYou have a very broad definition of "free". If Google really tried to use the leverage it has with Android to get Verizon to drop Bing as the default search engine, I can definitely see a problem there. Their intentions might be good (for the consumer, at least), but their methods just got pretty strong handed. Oh, and Honeycomb won't be open sourced any time soon, so there's that, too.
- yanw 16y agoAgain, as I replayed to another comment here: They are confusing things here, they can add whatever search engine they like but it won't get the 'With Google' approval sticker unless it uses Google Apps and services. They are confusing the none-fragmentation approval sticker with total prevention, which is quite frankly dishonest on the part of businessweek.
