It's immoral that governments take poeples money and use it for intents orthogonal to those original people intents, e.g. war, subsidies to monopolies such as the oil industry, corruption, etc.

Google on the other hand provides a great services for free and acessible to everyone. I would prefer my taxes to go to google; and if they would become government they would be much more efficient than any government out there.

By the way google if you want a toy country to try stuff, try Portugal. This goverment could use some help and they are some nice people who support the private initiative.

Politicy makers are dumb. They took ages to resolve an issue such as availability to choose the default browser on an operating system, yet, in their closed world of waiting for their retirement checks, they, and their fault of ideals in their confortable sofas do no address the :

simple issue of hardware and operating system separation.

The most boring presentation ever. He is like, so i created google, so i don't have to make an effort to show excitement in my new product, that's for the marketing and sales.

I don't get all the development... so is this like an html5 player ? linux + some webkit ? what's the novelty ?

Again a bunch of developers working for free on Samsung (20% of SK GDP) plan C mobile phone OS ?

If the guy that invented sms patented 140 char messages there would be no twitter. Or irc messages, or smoke signals, or X where one people sends a text message to others. Patents are a bureocratic perversion that do not acomplish any progress to humanity, they just perpetuate the bureocratic system itself.

Google closing reader was probably something to do with the French un-digital papers that wanted the interwebs going to their website-o-pages to read content there.

The only crime here is the judges act to take life time of someone that caused no harm.

Should have been coded in python :( . Whenever i see a project that i think is cool and then see that it has been coded in languages other than js, c++ or python i consider it just for my usage, and not for my contributions as developer.

I could use this for a Qt app. Why not a c or c++ api instead of IOs and android ?
