    Reminds me how much I hate Apple.

    Thanks Google for making Android.

    Now please turn the evil knob down a notch and go back being the awesome company you once where.

            He’s talking about RCS in general. Apple won’t implement it as it’s a huge threat to iMessage which is a service that keeps a lot of the US users buying their phones.

      I feel like Google has everything to gain and apple has more to lose by implementing this. It’s not good guy Google, bad guy Apple. It’s a business decision. I say this as an Apple hater.

      If the shoe was on the other foot Google would be doing the same thing.

      Google tracks you everywhere you go all over the internet. Like 90% of websites have a script that calls home to Google to let them know you visited. That’s their business model.
