Google Overhauls 'Currents' for iOS

the awkward moment when all the google apps look better than the native iOS apps ^^

Remember, when you use google services you are the product.

One day soon, I'm gonna invent a time machine. When that day comes, the first thing I'll do is head back in time, find the guy who first coined "...you are the product", and smack him upside the head as hard as I can.

Maybe it'll shame him enough so he'll never say it. Then, when I come back to the present, I'll never have to hear anyone ever say it again. It is the STUPIDEST damn thing people on Apple boards say.

I mean hell. You've always "been the product" for Google. No one had a problem with this until they released Android. Now apparently it's this horrible thing, being able to use a product for free in exchange for demographic data.

God, I tell ya. I wish some people would think about the things they say rather than hop onto the latest catchphrase bandwagon.

There is so much wrong in what you have written in this thread I wouldn't know where to begin.

But let's play for a second. You hate Google and Samsung, right? Ok - so are you boycotting Apple for using Samsung parts in your iDevice? Are you using Search on your iPhone - what search engine is that set to?

P.S. - Google hasn't flooded the market with devices (yet). They haven't manufactured any phones (yet).

P.P.S. Apple, Google, Samsung, and every company only cares about you in relation to how much money you're going to help them make.

I just tossed him on my ignore list. There is no debating with people who are so closed minded and just plan wrong on so many levels.

can't speak for anyone else, but I'm boycotting google. I'll Duckduckgo from now on.

After this horrendous excuse for a company ( the worlds largest data mine) caused Apples stock to drop, I will no longer use anything Google. Likewise I will never buy anything made by Samsung again. Remember, when you use google services you are the product. Boycott Monopolies, Say no to Google.

It's really cool that this forum has people so "in the know" on what's going on in the tech sphere. It makes me feel more important.

So your reasoning is Boycot Monopolies.

This has to be sarcastic surely? You seriously dont think Apple hold a monopoly on anything?

Also you do realise that once you opt out of ads (no idea why you would bother tho) Google doesnt track anything (again thats not really an issue unless you like wearing a tin foil hat).

That awkward moment when the top first page apps are mostly google apps...

Why switch to Android when Google looks great and performs great on iOS?
