It really hasn't been Google's week. First the entire internet exploded because of some uninteresting nonsense regarding social networking (really internet?), but today something happened that's actually a bad thing and worth talking about: in Kenya, Google has been caught accessing the databases of a competing business, and offering Google's own product to the people in the database. Google has already apologised, and is currently investigating the matter.

Yes, I was rather crude there, excuse my behaviour.
Regarding DT, I don't know and couldn't care less. I'm not signed up there and just click on DT articles linked on AnandTech every once in a while. OSnews is the only site I come to troll on. The comment system at DT is probably as flawed as the voting system on OSnews, but no tech-site does this right anyways.
Blame Apple for the advent of the tasteless hipster (hipsters in the past had taste, at least) and I'll get flamed by you, insult WP7/MS or the general uptightness of .NET devs and I'll get flamed by that maximus fellow, insult Android and call it a bloated Java-VM that took the freedom it promised the people and gave it to OEMs and Carriers instead (becoming the Windows of the smartphone world in the process), and everyone else here will flame me.
Doesn't change anything.
