  1. Why does America hate successful companies? Many of use Google and its connected services as a convenience and security measures. Microsoft must be pushing as Internet Explorer could never keep up.

    1. It’s a very fine line between the value of an integrated environment, like Apple pulls off best IMO and what others try to do … and using that to have a monopoly.

      I mean, Apple gets drilled for requiring apps to be sold through their App Store. One of the companies behind that lawsuit also sells games on PlayStation and Xbox … which have essentially the same moats as Apple. I’ve never seen it well articulated as to how that’s different.

      To a large degree, Apple and Google have brought their issues on themselves. But by doing so, they’ve invited the government to design their software, which won’t end well either.
