By stealing data from competitors?

Congratulations. You get the google customer of the year award.

The appointment of Eric Holder as the head of DOJ could be the defining moment of Obama's presidency. Everything Eric Holder is involved in is turning into a huge pile of shit.

First world problems.

Did you mean Google strategy? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_acquisitions_by_Google

Only 5% of all android devices out there have ICS ( http://developer.android.com/resources/dashboard/platform-ve... ). Even if you are correct that ICS has no fluidity issues at al…

Anyone who truly believes Samsung wasn't just ripping off Apple's product (hardware/software) need only look at the Phone App's icon here http://cdn3.sbnation.com/imported_assets/8…

Even if the data is stored encrypted, Google can always decrypt it on an as needed basis (since they serve ads based on the content of the email messages.)

I cant help but think that there are a lot of other personal grudges at play here instead of just an honest discussion about iPhone 4S vs Galaxy Nexus

Apple didn't build a freaking photo-frame..they built a tablet computer...

I read Google's post and Microsoft's response and Google's update to the post and Microsoft's response to the update as well: http://techcrunch.com/2011/08/04/gentlemen-take-this-o…

How is it unfair?

That's because they don't have any patents of their own to sue with. Before they acquired IBM's patents, they had a total of less than 800 patents.

Gruber is no Google-lover, but in this case he is right on the money for calling out Google's hypocrisy. What if Google won the Nortel patents with their pi billion dollars bid?

Truth is on the cloud.

I think he is talking primarily about OEMs. Except HTC, i dont think any other OEM building iPhone/iPad competitors is making much money.

Google is not evil by nature (though i have my own doubts) and Facebook is also not evil by nature. Facebook simply has a different philosophy on _sharing_. They believe that peopl…

If you already trust Google with your email, then it cant be that bad.

I am not trying to start a debate of sql vs nosql, but i have an honest question. What if foursquare was using a standard RDBMS like Oracle? Would they have run into the same probl…

I thought i was in the same boat as you until recently. Now the same job, which i thought was excellent, is boring and not interesting anymore. The people i used to love working wi…

I hate software patents, but it is the reality of the world. Google had a chance to license with Sun, but they did not want to yield any control to Sun and implemented their own te…

Not sure why Oracle is getting so much flak for protecting and monetizing their acquired assets. They are doing what Sun had failed to do, which is monetizing the Java platform eff…
