    It’s a miracle that Google botched messengers, Google+, cloud ('member app engine?). They could have been even more dominant. I still like them more than MS and FB.

      Yeah, the enemy of my enemy is not my friend. It’s just another asshole.

      Google, over the past few years has notably getting worse. Apps that always worked flawlessly lately started getting buggy. YouTube app on Android now crashes near daily, Gmail is suddenly riddled with bugs… It wasn’t like this.

      Google was a software / tech company that started dabbling in ads to make money. This change toe company to what it is now, an ad company that does a bit of tech on the side.

      Google Chrome is now the new ie6 and though it sucks in different ways from ie6, at the core the problem is the same

      Google and Microsoft are really the same company, it’s just that (for now, still) Google’s software sucks less
