Eff You, Google.

[p00p]

Google is becoming evil.

The tl;dr version: Verizon and Google are teaming up to destroy net neutrality in the wireless arena. most likely starting with video services only allowed via a specific ISP.

Ridiculous. -efffffffffffffffffffffff you, Google.

This is the end result of what I've been saying to p00p for a year now. Google went public with no future revenue stream so they are feeling the pressure from the stock holders. As a result they have entered every market they can think of from energy, OS, smartphones but they are not good at any of them. Now that Android is making some money, they are closing the system up, sending cease-and-desist orders to those who are trying to build on Android and letting carriers nerf phones that include it. Now they are segregating the internet more then apps ever did. They claimed open just long enough to give warm fuzzes to those that didn't know better and then stabbed them in the back.

So ya, I'm saying I called it and Eric is a retard.

Yeah I haven't been happy with Googles direction in a while. It's sad.

[Remy]

It is sad and it really makes me mad. I was asked why I hate Eric Schmidt and Steve Balmer and this is why. They took great companies and ruined them. They rode the wave of cash with no thought to innovation and at the end they are going to leave an empty shell. I want the old M$ and Google back. I want new cool stuff.

Eric Schmidt was head of Novell before Google. So.... yall should have saw this coming.

Eric had this mantra at Novell, it was called "One Net". Use your imagination.

[Remy]

"Eric Schmidt says Microsoft, not Apple or Facebook, is the biggest rival Google has right now."

This is the first true thing Eric has said in awhile. Android is making them zero, Buzz and Wave are dead. Google's only profit is from search and Bing has been making huge strides. I know I use Bing only now.

"At the same time, Schmidt envisions a future where we embrace a larger role for machines and technology. "With your permission you give us more information about you, about your friends, and we can improve the quality of our searches," he said. "We don't need you to type at all. We know where you are. We know where you've been. We can more or less now what you're thinking about."
