A satisfied user doesn't help "spread the Linux base"? Why not, I ask seriously?

Instead of putting a tag WORKSFORME (which implies Torvalds/Icaza are idiots in this particular case) is not helping, especially when it obviously is NOT working for many people. Integration absence is a primary target where I would say "not working". It gets better though.

Comment Some facts (Score 1) 596

Fact #1: Google makes much more money on Apple iOS than on their own Android. The difference is huge.
Fact #2: For Google the whole Android is a "yet another project", while for Apple is a main horse.
Fact #3: Google sells ads. Hence Android is a quantity question, like "Have it the way you want, customize as you like. Just have it (so we will sell our ads on your device)".

Think about it.

Comment Re:Google Example (Score 1) 743

I has been interviewed by Google two times and found once again: you judge people by their questions, not by answers.

Would I like to work to somebody, who is just purely technical jerk, happy he knows a lot? No. Not at all. Why? Because "knowing a lot" does not mean "know everything", but usually the more somebody demonstrates his knowledge, the less he actually knows. I drew a conclusion that at Google they are not getting things other than just pure technically. Sort of soul-less company with a soul-less products. Would I like for such company? Uhmm... No.

Latest rants about Google by their prominent employees and my experience developing for their Android actually only proves it.

I want to say that:

1. Apple could not steal the idea of Prada and make their iPhone with full blown iOS and tools and manufacture it and present just per few weeks (Prada was first pictures found December , 2006 and iPhone was introduced January 9, 2007). Besides, Prada was introduced a two weeks after the first iPhone.

2. You know nothing about Prada. Because it was zero similar to the iPhone other, than just capacitive screen like we had in Palms for years, keypad for making calls, that was already designed on OpenMoko project that was not yet even "hardwared" and sort of desktop, that would you find on some Japanese "keitais".

3. The whole mobile World was literally laughing at Jobs's iPhone by saying "No buttons = shit". But later copied Apple just one-to-one.

4. The whole mobile World was literally laughing at Job's iPad by saying "iPod Touch XXXL". But later copied Apple just one-to-one.

Samsung is the most "creative": they not just put the iPhone device on a paper and outline it with a pencil, ripping off look, feel, design, colors, buttons position, they also stealing Apple icons directly: http://goo.gl/EF456 Others not just have no brains make actually working software, they even does not have brains to find a better name other than simply mirroring it: http://goo.gl/MXi9x

P.S. Just for a record, to stop various idiot fugtards call me as "an Apple fanboy", I am an Android user and developing for it a lot.
