Jesus never mind people can say google shoots babies and makes pies from them ya’ll would defend them and say it was the babies fault. They get their money from ADS, android makes them no money the ADS do. Now a report I read from were I am did not say only just display ads which would look stupid since FB is currently on top of this heap…for…now. Google dominates mobile space, they dominate search space, they dominate ad space, that gets your practices scrutinized all the time. On top of the fact they give away their services for free while also tying them all together so that your experience with another company will not work right.

Its not just display ads its also Mobile ads which uhh they control over 70% of the mobile market and they control over 90% of Mobile ad revenue.

Probably because of this see the other ones below google. On FB is barely over a billion, Google is getting ready to hit 10 billion which they already did.

When people go online what do either Google something or hop on Facebook. Facebook has a slight lead the display(29% vs Googs 20%) Ads market. Now Google on the other hand is a portal to everything, and more people hit Google than FB can ever hope to get. It is this search share that is the dominating factor, on top of the fact that actually mobile ads not just display ads Google controls over almost 93% of that market. They are longer than there next 5 competitors combined.

Ask MS when you get to big in a space you can not use your position to push others to the side. Why do you guys think Apple is always happy with not having high market share but large revenue. Market share brings you problems and soon you get the Government watching dogs on your ass for everything you do. Which in turn slows your company down because you have to think twice about everything, a la Microsoft. You get this problem when you give away your product for free to gain market share and push only your services in a sense google used good old dumping practices.

They should be obsessed with any company with that much power, they did it to MS when they abused their position and they are going to do it Google also.

If this was MS you fools would be dancing. Get over it people Google like alot of companies are not cute and cuddly. All of you seem to forget they are a ad company. Android was not made for your benefit and given for free because they like your ass. It is given for free to get your information and make money off of it. They are the biggest gathering of information any where but many of you applaud them and say oh cool Google has figured a new way to get ads and data to us. Then you turn around and spit fire because of a camera on a game console in your living room. Google is in the data business shit they probably rival all the intel agencies on the amount of data they have on you.

How so the iphone, S4/S3, the One, One X, 920, and now the 928/925. Take great day photo’s in a general range of better or worse. The difference is negligible depending on your settings. Now at night the winner is the well now 925 with is six lenses,after that the One and then iPhone 5. Galaxy anything should not even apply to the night time fun and stick to day time. Oh and we are talking without even using flash which really shows the power of the phones. With flash Nokia wins by a mile just for the fact of having a Xenon on the phone.

The Camera of the HTC has been regularly compared to the 920 and While the 920 has the best all all round performance the one is a close second it just the noise is what kills it. All the highend smartphones are pretty good in Daylight at night though only the 920 and the One are in the same territory. Hell the S4 is like a S2 at night.

For real Nokia knew the reason why they did not go Android. It will be..if not already is a one Company OS with just some clingers on playing along. The thing is it will force more companies to diversify from Android to other systems.

I totally agree with this after awhile it just gets annoying wiping flashing wiping flashing setting it all back up again. Everytime a fix or ROM version comes out. Several Roms I used for different devices have 2 or 3 updates a week. Yes, it is nice for the support but this is the reason why manufactures don’t do it people will get annoyed after awhile. I don’t trip because alot of these guys are only getting donations for the work so Kudos, but the average joe which is the vast majority of Android will not go for that.

So it is bad how MS acted but it is cool if Google acts the same way but worse, Gotcha.

Comment
I hope they don’t I would rather pay for online services and have mostly reliable backend versus free and having a semi stable sometimes working service, hence why Sony is going behind the paywall mostly.

The channels will just use the same model as some companies did here. The channels owners will sell to you in bundles. You will never be able to buy just one station. You want ESPN well you will pay for all versions of ESPN basically a sports bundle that will be 20 bucks minimum. For some that is fine now if you like movies well you will have to pay for each of those channels if it is lesser know and popular stations you will get a good deal now if you want a well watch station see that be anywhere between 10 to 20 bucks. Now god bless you that you have kids the teens want MTV or one of the other Music channels now you will pay for that group and also separately for the kids group. Well the stats the companies made more money in the long run. Yea some people saved most different and also you will have to pay the cable company for that cable run to your house you think maintenance is free. Now the streaming services will be hurting because now they are competing against individual stations not against a cable block. You will see shows start to disappear. Disney will yank all their programming because they want you to pay for their stations not a streamer and that effect will domino. This is why the Netflixs are having a hard time establishing themselves out of North America they are not competing against cable as a whole they are competing against the channels(that you pay individually for) that they are supposed to get the shows from.

That will happen anyway, but for the people who don’t bills will go up not down.

Consumers lose thats how.

Because who is going to install that cable line in your place. They will not be able to afford it either you will have one company controlling all the lines or you will have a bunch of companies giving you a disjointed. service.

Sports blackouts are ridicolous mess makes no sense at all.

Comment
I agree they much better things to do, but if people would actually think about what they are asking for. You will see that this is a bad idea, now cable will be even more expensive, streaming will go down the tubes.
-
Comment
If you think your cable is expensive now wait till this kicks in. Over in Europe alot of companies did this model because the consumers were demanding it thinking that channels will be like oh cool you will only pay 5 bucks a channel and they would be happy. Yea right, that blew up in peoples faces.

Well dumb ass since Metrotube has been been giving the best Youtube experience across any platform with download functions. You sound like you’re butt hurt.

Peope tend to forget comparing the PC market to the mobile market is pure fuckery Mobile phones are pretty much on a contractual cycle with the exceptions of certain markets. So people will be upgrading Mobile phones in many areas yearly. People do not upgrade PCs yearly because it is not needed. Next year will be the test to see where the PC market is and also until a tablet can actually pull the same duties as a PC(minus Windows Pro Tablets) tablets are still just a companion.

UHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH yeeeaa we will let you think about what you just said.

Just by looks alone Metrotube and mytube are better. The UI just works even if they went cross platform they would still kill Google in their own yard.

under 250 that is dumb is profit suicide they don’t need to whore themselves out on the cheap like Android. W8 is still more function than Android so that is not even a option plus most Android devices at that point are total trash bar the Nexus and even the build quality of those are not that great at all.
