So, what did Google do to you, exactly?

I'm curious about this hostility. Near as I can tell, Google isn't doing the same things that Microsoft did. I don't see them strong-arming partners or demanding that customers stay within their brand (if anything, they simply make you WANT to stay with their brand) and, most importantly, they're promoting open-source and openness in general. I seem to recall Microsoft would ruin partners and sue everyone to hell--I'm really not seeing that from Google. I've only felt ENABLED by Google and Android, not used. (By contrast, I've ultimately ended up feeling used and abused by Nokia after giving them my money.) So please... can you elaborate? I'm starting to wonder whether perhaps you're throwing around the 'blind' label while holding some inexplicable hostility against Google for some reason.

Google is just a big company like other big companies. They are not charities and will expliot you how they can. Nothing new there.

I'm still not sure where there's been any kind of exploitation, though.

Hah! PROOF that you single me out!

That's why Microsoft has totally gotten so much love from the customers, right? How's that market share for Windows CE/Mobile/Phone/flavor-of-the-day looking again?

This is how it's done, Nokia.

According to Elop Nokia is in the middle of transition, Lumia sales are "encouraging" and WP will save Nokia. Such horseshit is swallowed wholesale by the Board and the Chairman goes out on a limb to defend Elop. When the crunch comes RIM will be able to maximize its remaining value to shareholders while Nokia's shareholders will be left holding nothing but Elop's horseshit.

Also, RIM hasn't been guilty of osbourning their own business repeatedly the way Elop did. Elop is an incredibly inept CEO and, I'll say this yet again, I have serious concerns that he might in fact be clinically rehtarded (why is that word censored? Seriously?). He probably should be getting help for that and the board of directors shouldn't keep treating him as if he's the most intelligent executive at Nokia to run this company (ironically, proving that they might be right). You wouldn't let a blind man drive a bus of passengers, why would you let Elop run your company? Unless...
