Now that smart phones are now mini-computers, and connected to the internet, we're starting to see the same problems associated with PC's.- freezing, crashing, bugs, and all the rest of it. (sigh) I wonder how much of it google is to blame for their constant sticky nosing into what we do?

Cheaper data, cheaper phones, more apps, you won't be able to get into a public toilet soon, unless you swipe your way in.

The spectacular growth of Google is something to be worried about.
They have their tentacles in every part of the web, every web page you go to.
I'm glad their Facebook copy (google +) hasn't taken off, plus some other failures.
But they still have:-
Google books
Google maps
Google blogs
Google mail
Google car
Google chrome
Google glasses
formatting link
Google...etc
A while ago there was outrage that there was tracking data kept by Google, when everyone became aware they went into their accounts and switched it off .
With Android phones you can't opt out, they have your phone number and other bits of data identifying you plus GPS tracking of the places you've been to.
They have become a bigger monster than Microsoft was in its heyday.
The web should be kept free of corporate monsters that claim "do no evil" but are undermining our freedoms everyday with their underhanded surveillance online.
Support OPEN SOURCE, support Firefox mobiles, I'll be definitely buying one if they make it to OZ.
Yep, and not to mention all the fancy features they come up with has a lot to do with sticking up their nose into what we do with their operating systems.
