Yes. And Google is engaging in monopolistic behavior by getting rid of any semblance of customer service. This is a direct result of their monopoly because businesses and customers have no viable alternative. So they can save billions by cu

Google is a cesspool because the spammers and SEO-hackers are in full force, and Google is only reactive to these threats these days. I mean, does it really matter if they are making hundreds of billions of dollars a year? They seem to be d

90% of "that won't work" that I've seen in my career is really just "I don't like your idea, I like my idea better" in disguise. If something really won't work because of some fatal flaw or because it
