F*ck all basically.

Anything more complex is likely to have more potential problems.

we're starting to see the same problems

(sigh) I wonder how much of it google is to

Cnt+Alt+Del no longer works.

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

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.

Whenever anyone mentions public toilets, I always think of the jingle..

Here I sit broken hearted, Paid 10c and only farted!

LOL! I think it was a shilling at one time

You are all babies,it is paid a penny and only farted.

Are you sure? I have an android box with a wireless keyboard and control/alt /delete works does work.

It also has lock ups and freezes.

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.
