Google’s Android fine and consequences

Now this is an interesting read: https://bgr.com/2018/07/18/google-eu-fine-analysis-android-doesnt-need-to-be-free/

Google fixed the search options in Android, which is a “free” OS.

Like Facebook, Google needs user data and their search results to serve its own “real” customers.

Its interesting to see that it’s response is to consider charging for the OS.

Remember, who is the true customer and who is the real product…

Donnie Darko

As a birthday treat I decided to watch the Director’s cut version of Donnie Darko.

Its a brilliant film and this version is better for some of the small changes.

One thing though, Kitty, the “fear/love” woman is clearly presaging the blind following of folk like Jim Cunningham. Cunningham in the film has a “kiddie porn dungeon” and Kitty strikes up to find a way to address this conspiracy against because obviously it can’t be true.

This is so reminiscent of people blindly following Trump or Farage regardless of the obvious contradictions or clear evidence highlighting what these people really are.

Idiocracy is clearly coming to be reality.
