Re: Google power over Android

[Dexter Caldwell <Dexter.Caldwell () FURMAN EDU>]

Hmm.... And so the (false) choice is between almost no control and
draconian control...  And the IT community has spent so much time over the
years complaining that Microsoft was the enemy.  At least with MRT.exe we
have a choice to allow it run run... or a least a box to check that says
we have a choice.  

Resistance is futile...

"And FWIW, Apple has much more draconian control over their apps, so if
control over your device is something you value, then the Android is still
a much better choice than an iPhone.  I would say the iPhone is a better
choice for people who specifically want others to control their experience
and environment (including which apps you're allowed to run on your
phone)."
