Goo Goo Googly Goodness

October 16th, 2008, by The Angry Drunk

Back when the iPhone devel­op­ers were still get­ting their whine on regard­ing the “Fucking NDA” and other Apple crimes against human­ity (lit­tle known fact, the Geneva Conventions have a sec­tion regard­ing cell phone devel­op­ment) one of the more fre­quent refrains was “I’ll go develop for Android then.” Because, of course, a giant adver­tis­ing com­pany would auto­mat­i­cally be more “open” (what­ever the fuck that means); even though there has yet to be a sin­gle shred of evi­dence pro­vided that the actual man­u­fac­tur­ers and car­ri­ers will let you mod­ify Android based phones in the slight­est. But, hey, it’s Google, they can do no wrong; so they must be bet­ter than Apple. Right?

Imagine then, the utter shock that I expe­ri­enced tho dis­cover that Google is putting a appli­ca­tion kill-switch into Android. SHOCKED I SAY!!! I can only react to this in one way.

 

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Wait, let me catch my breath…

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I’m going to make a pre­dic­tion. The car­ri­ers are going to lock down your pre­cious GooglePhones tighter than a drum; and your bud­dies at Google aren’t going to do a damn thing to fight it.

    Google has a law writ­ten in uni­corn blood on some stone some­where that says “Thou shan’t be evil,” so it’s impos­si­ble for them to do any­thing bad. I thought YOU of all peo­ple would know that, since you’re so good with com­put­ers and stuff.

    I’d wager that ad-blocking web browsers won’t get the green light, it’s pos­si­ble that imap mail apps might but might not.

    But how much you want to bet that ring­tones on the Android won’t be free or even a 99 cent upgrade off of a 99 cent track, but a full $2.50 or what­ever and locked down?
