You hate Apple so much that you changed your avy to an Android pissing on an Apple.
Andy Rubin (a former Apple employee LOL), Eric Schmidt and his freetard committees get together to discuss how they can imitate Apple and/or fill voids left by Apple. Feeding off the bottom so to speak.
Looks like my avy got a rise out of you. Truth hitting a little too close to home? Rubin hasn't worked for Apple in over a decade. In fact, chances are he probably worked there before Jobs even came back. You know damn well Apple then is not comparable to Apple now (for better or worse).
Rubin goes on a major publication and compares Apple to North Korea and you eat it all up.
You whine about Steve Job's charismatic marketing methods at the same time you eat up all the bullshit about "don't be evil".
Charismatic marketing methods? Hardly. The guy brainwashes fanboys like you. and "Don't be evil" is more than just a catchphrase, Google employees live by it, fact.
Apple steers their developers to better development methods, at the same time protecting their platform from junk by eliminating Flash and Google hops on the opportunity and form an alliance with Adobe. You eat it all up.
Flash and AIR are great platforms. I use them regularly and have done for years. I have at least one application that I run 24/7 that is built on the AIR platform (Seesmic Desktop). Why WOULDN'T I support Adobe bringing their products to Android? For the record - Adobe first demonstrated Flash running on Android OVER A YEAR AGO - in case you are too stupid to figure out what that means, it means development of Flash for Android pre-dated this entire Apple/Adobe beef.
You boast about Ian Hickson's crusade to standardize HTML5, like Google is the pinnacle of technological innovation.(Or something like that anyway)
I've never said this.
That's what you get with Google, you know? They ask themselves - how can we get these freetards to jump ship? I know! We'll support a technology that will be gone in years time!
I'll throw down any of amount of money to tell you that Flash and AIR will still be relevant in a year. Five years, maybe not, unless there's lots of advances made on it. But it's not going anywhere in the NEAR future, and the only ones too stupid to see that are Apple.
Google says - We can make Casey look like a complete douchebag just like the time when he held on to the belief that hard-keys were a must have back when he was still rocking his Sidekick. Like when he was whining about the 3 extra seconds it took for iPhone users to type a text message. I guess HTC Sense UI took care of that didn't it Casey? Who arrived first again?
1 - you're an idiot. Who had the world's first integrated application download catalog built into the phone where you could purchase apps, games, and ringtones and have them billed directly on your phone bill, FIVE YEARS before the iPhone came out, which Apple them shamelessly ripped off the idea from, as well as trying to hire as many of the UI engineers as they could?
Who? Who? Oh yeah - the Hiptop/Sidekick - designed by ANDY RUBIN. Hard keys are still a must-have feature for me, my G1 has a QWERTY keyboard as well as the touchscreen. Evidently most people agree which is why the Motorola Droid has been the biggest selling Android device to date, and Verizon have been very successful with their ad campaign for it that has been shitting on iPhone left and right.
Neither of those devices mentioned have Sense UI either. And I
guarantee you I can type out a message on the QWERTY keyboard MUCH faster than "3 seconds" less.
For the record, most people have been switching recently (as far as I can see) not because of Flash, but because of awesome things like Google Navigation with Street View. This has blown the mind of everyone that has seen it, and guess what? You'll never get it.
Oh, don't even get me started with the giant iPhone, Casey, the giant iPhone fail LOLOL. WePad? They can't even come up with a original name? It surly must be a product name for adult diapers, right Casey? I guess you'll need your Wee WeePad when you have your wet dreams about a tablet that runs desktop OS, OH WAIT! Nevermind! I wonder what's next.. GooTV?
ONCE AGAIN - you know NOTHING of what you speak of. Absolutely fuck-all.
Do you understand what the concept of an OPEN SOURCE OS is?
Let me break it down for you.
It means that any manufacturer, anywhere, can use a stripped down version of Android to power their hardware. If they want the core Google Apps they license them from Google who will insist on a certain level of quality control. But in many cases Google won't even know who's using the OS. This is the case with the WePad. Google and Android have NOTHING to do with the WePad. It's made by a German company. They just happened to build their system on top of Android. Google have nothing to do with other Android slates like the awesome Notion Ink Adam that has been made by an Indian company.
Hell I could invent some hardware right this second, put Android on it and call it "the super awesome slate running Android that makes anything s14 will ever buy look like a giant turd" - i've trademarked that name, by the way. See my point? I think you knew it originally, but in your DESPERATE (just like your idol Steve Jobs) attempt to have a valid criticism of Android, you failed completely. Just like when Jobs said "no no we don't want porn on iPhone OS, go to Android if you want that" - yeah, like installing a pornographic app from the App Store is less difficult than going into Safari and doing a search for "porn".
Make no mistake, if the Web didn't exist as an open platform, Apple would be trying to control that too. Too bad that'll NEVER happen, and when they try by doing things like not building Flash support, all that happens is their userbase abandon them.
Nice try with your post, but you failed, and even Stevie Wonder can see it.
