"Page has embraced the extend and extinguish strategy of Microsoft, requiring that every Android device include every core Google product to run effectively."

I stopped reading here...

Google is evil for targeting more than one business? Google is evil for doing basically what it's competitors are doing?

Reality is not black and white, sometimes you need to do some evil to achieve a greater good, if Google didn't back off from the net neutrality front, the carriers would have probably refused to include Android, and we wouldn't have open mobile OS.

To my knowledge Google still does code releases.

This post is basically unreasonable rambling.

"Are all trite articles given idiotic, link-bait-y headlines?"

Does everyone who competes with Google have to resort to personal attacks and pathetic complaints?
