You don't get to just say "I'm not going to implement this because I don't agree with it," which is what Google is doing in the case of Android.Actually, you DO get to just say that.

Sometimes the 800 pound gorillas DO have the ability to fsck things over for everyone. --lyndon P.S. But it is the mindless-sheep-like behaviour that lets them. So instead I should be complaining to the masses who are incapable of thinking for themselves? We know how well *that* works ...
