Don't be Evil to Acer Google

Good old Google, with their open lovely software.

Quote:

TAIPEI -(Dow Jones)- Taiwanese PC maker Acer Inc., (2353.TW) which had planned to unveil a smartphone Thursday using software from Chinese Internet firm Alibaba Group, said it is cancelling a press conference to launch the device after its existing partner, Google Inc. (GOOG), expressed concerns about the smartphone.

"Acer will continue to communicate with Google and the company still wants to launch the new smartphone based on Alibaba software," an official at Acer, who declined to be named, said.

Acer had planned to hold a press conference with Alibaba, China's biggest Internet company by transactions, on Thursday in Shanghai to unveil the new smartphone called CloudMobile A800. The smartphone runs on software from Alibaba called Aliyun. Acer had said that the new device would be going on sale Friday in China.Alibaba said that Acer "was notified by Google that if the product runs Aliyun OS, Google will terminate its Android- related cooperation and other technology licensing with our partner....We regret Google's action."

A Google spokesman declined to comment.

This behavior reminds me of some other company, Microsoft in the 1990's.

I was wondering if he posted without drinking, and lacked the clarity to post anything meaningful.

Yes, that is the only possible point that could be made there.

It is no longer worth having a discussion with you when Apple is involved.

Or one with you when you've had a drink, which is all the time.

And by the way, when did it become a rule that you cannot talk about something with someone who has an opinion on it? This is one of the most asinine developments on these forums recently (and there is a lot to choose from). What next, you can't discuss religion with the religious? Wait... that's a bad example...
