      You would wish Google would turn into Apple. AAPL at least has the decency of respecting some privacy.

      Google, on the other hand, is an advertising company (not a tech company), selling all the people pocket size advertisement billboards named “Android” for years, and they’re taking the last step of seizing full control over it.

      You can blame the courts for this one. They basically ruled “Apple isn’t a monopoly, because they don’t even LET other people compete in the first place”. (which is about a bass-ackwards as it gets but whatever)

      Google saw this and went “shit…” so they’re rushing to implement the same thing.
