When I hear Google saying they want to "keep Android open" ([[Android Developer Verification]]) while blatantly doing the opposite, I am instantly reminded of that scene where Bryant Moreland (EDP445) claimed he was just looking for a cupcake. Similar levels of shamelessness, and similar in taking advantage of people with little recourse, even though within different contexts. I am not going to explain the story with Moreland here; you can go look it up if you don't already know.

When I hear Google saying they want to "keep Android open" ([[Android Developer Verification]]) while blatantly doing the opposite, I am instantly reminded of that scene where Bryant Moreland (EDP445) claimed he was just looking for a cupcake. Similar levels of shamelessness, absurdity, and similar in taking advantage of people with little recourse, even though within different contexts. I am not going to explain the story with Moreland here; you can go look it up if you don't already know.

While what Moreland was trying to do was more serious on a small scale and was easily thwarted, what Google is doing with their developer verification program happens on a much larger scale. It impacts potentially over a hundred million people worldwide.
