I don't see how this argument detracts from glass in anyway. Doesn't it just make a better case for them?

I'm not sure what that has to do with thinking. Is there an absence of thinking when solving algebra that only kicks in when solving calculus?

The smartphone is also the perfect portable mouse. I wouldn't be surprised if the new Motorola phones are built with this in mind.

So what's the solution? To keep products and strategy static forever so that nobody gets perturbed? It seems like Google has given ample time and accessibility for its users and developers to adapt.

Is this also a warning to Evernote to never remove features? I'd hate to be a company that makes products that Om uses.

Wouldn't you just be reliant another another company? What's to guarantee that they won't close down the service one day?

So is Google forbidden from ever closing down a service without being accused of being evil?

No, I expect Google to offer free services that serve my every whim until they go bankrupt.

The Nexus branding is much more visible than the Asus one. It's over 2x as large and centered directly in your line of sight as you're holding the tablet. You can't seriously think that people would look at the branding and think that it pl

"Creepiness"? Are you a child? You seem to comprehend how Google runs its business and pays for its services. Isn't it incredibly ludicrous to call it creepy?

I think you can create services which achieve the same function as facebook while making a dispersion of self and novelty apparent to its users. I'm not arguing monetization, but the means and consequences of exploiting users responsibly.
