>> I also avoid targeted adverts by using a mail client to retrieve
Gmail mail instead of their web-site, and I only use Gmail for
'trivial' non-personal correspondence.<<
I might be missing something here, my phone has a Gmail app
which I never use, but which is always started courtesy of a
boot script. Likewise the browser and PlayStore are cached
processes that when stopped, restart within a minute.
I suspect I'll have to get a developer's SDK to wrap an
edited version of that script into an installer.
You, and I, may avoid the targeted ads, but the targeted ads
do not avoid us.

I see the slope that could be slippery, but I'm not concerned yet about how
many people have how much data about me. Assuming the reporting is
correct, while withholding voice turn-by-turn apis isn't even remotely close to
"evil," it is decidedly not "open." Apple was a paying customer as well. I get
Google's business logic: the more Apple customers, the more revenue, but the
more Android users the more data which increases Google's
advertising
revenues. It's business. Apple wants to have a first-class user map
application
and Google chafed at the way Apple precludes third-parties from
having direct
access to iOS users. Everyone is on to their Plans B and the B plan is
always
more painful. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
