I Am Shamed

It’s horrifically embarrassing to admit I missed one of the better idiot-quotes from Erick Schonfeld’s latest Google rim-job, and didn’t notice it until I saw it in a Prince McDildo article:

Google supposedly didn’t need to create its own phone, because it could simply create software for the iPhone. And, in fact, some of the best apps on the iPhone—Mail, Maps, YouTube, Search—were developed by Google.

The lack of oxygen from Google’s schlong blocking Erick’s airway must have confused him. None of those applications were developed by Google. One isn’t even a real application.

    Can't blame you for missing any of the wonderful quotes... one would pretty much have to quote the entire article as it is so full of stupidity. Saying that "Search" is an "application" made by Google on the iPhone is like a screaming "Black-Jack!" in the middle of the a poker game. I don't know what is more pathetic, that someone writes garbage like this and considers themselves a "tech writer" or that someone pays them to write it. The level of ignorance approaches Rob Enderle's in his last article about Microsoft launching a revolution and Apple's answer to that being a mouse.
  • I can understand thinking Maps and YouTube were written by Google. But Mail? Because Mail can talk to Gmail, that means Google wrote it? And now everything that can search anything is written by Google?
  • Bear in mind that this is the same lack-wit that jumped on the bandwagon that Google changing it's logo to an electromagnet was some sort of back-door slight against Israel, or Palestine, or someone...he wasn't completely clear.
  • Oh wow, I didn't realize it was the same guy. Somehow he came up in a drunken conversation the other night. The consensus was a) he's a wing-nut, and b) we needed something better to talk about while drinking.
