Companies dont charge what they need to to make a profit anymore
Hey gramps welcome to Econ 101 people charge whatever they can to make the most money. I do it too. So shove it, commie.
All of the above and/or their middlemen(the service providers) have motives to aggregate and quantify data collected from their users, and they can and will sell it
No dice, mon frere. Apple has a good reason to aggregate data - more powerful software and a better experience! Think location services, traffic they have no need or motivation to sell it, and I don't see why they ever would. Google o nthe other hand states loudly and proudly that it will record you so it can sell you. You can't argue that's an extreme violation of privacy that apple / iPhones do not commit. However, I usually don't do this, but since it's the holidays I'll throw you a bone. You're right, it's not just google. Nw that Microsoft is in the search engine business I suspect they would do the same thing. But not rim, becUe their whole business is built around user Curtis. All I'm saying is you have to be a little savvy and follow the money to understand what Peres true motivations Ae.
Google is an information vendor their goal is to give you a phone / phone OS so you use it, then spy on you to find out what you like and where you go, and sell that information to others to make a profit.
So if you're concerned about who is intrusive, then don't use Android.

That's so sad... I hope that eventually she finds a friend.
