Spec sheets

I find it amazing that apparently we (for example Wired, today) haven’t learnt from years of having microsoft as our overlord.

Tech spec sheets a product appraisal do not make… yet Wired seem to not have noticed in this tech spec sheet comparison between iPhoneOS and Froyo. If anything, years of using Microsoft products should have taught us that the words on the box don’t necessarily translate into a nice user experience or being able to do anything actually good with the product. If that was the case, the Nokia N93 I had years ago would have trumped the iPhone 3G I bought years after it…

Besides, they forgot Android’s crazy Facebook integration… but is that really a feature? I think it’s just google’s way of getting around Facebook’s denial of the search-giant’s request to index all their photos years ago.

Overlords?

I don’t use or own google or android products (aside from where it’s inevitable, like services or products I use relying on them: maps, gmail, reader), yet somehow google have all my photos from facebook on thier platform, and my address and phone data. How? My friend has an android phone and has turned on facebook integration.

Google most likely does have your personal information without you even knowing about it.
