Google lets banks remotely disable phones [0]: 114 points in 11 hours Google lets apps prevent users from taking screenshots [1]: 315 points in 14 hours Devs on HN shrug it off when an app screws over users, but they take to pitchforks when an app is removed. There's also a heavy bias in favor of Google and against Apple on HN, but Apple does nothing nearly as hostile to users, and so millions of people will continue to happily give their money to Apple. Only user-hostile developers fail to understand this and clamor for Apple's restrictions to be weakened so they can prey more freely upon users.
