What kind of "proof" do you expect? Do you want him to make a polygraph test about his true motivations behind the donations to his foundation? You know that the results of these so-called lie detectors aren't trustworthy either. So we will never know for sure, if you really don't understand the limits of provability of personal intentions or if you are just trolling me?
Are you for real? What I expect for proof is where YOU gor that info.
Article, interview whatever to show you didnt make that up yourself.
Its quite clear you dont have that and that whole bit was made up.
And you don't get, what it needs for their model to work. Despite them no one else want's them to get all the info. Not the users, not the carriers and not the phone makers, who decide which services are preinstalled on all phones. Only if you are also successful as a hardware maker, you really have control about what software the customer gets to see.
Thats simply nut true, microsoft never made a PC . Google just advanced that bussines model further.
Again google just made a deal with samsung more google less nexus hardware.
You dont need to control the hardware to control the software . If you make it profitable for others to flock to your model, they will coma and its that what google did.
Do you think all those websites give them billions of dollars deliberately? No they need to pay Google, because (outside of China) with less then a tenth of market share, Yahoo really isn't an alternative.
Absolute BS? plenty of other advertisers companies can go to.
Google does not have a monopoly, google cannot enforce anything because they are dozens of others ready to take their place.
Google just sold their complete manufacturing capabilities. And also before that the Nexus line never was an obstacle to Samsungs market success. Samsung simply doesn't need Google nearly as much as Google needs Samsung or Apple for that matter.
They didn sell anything, you dont seem to know a lot. Google simply told samsung they are discontinuing the line. Nexus hardware was actually samsung, lg and asus hardware google bought and rebranded.
If any nexus increased android market share (first couple of nexus') and created a good base of companies (propping up asus and LG as competitors to samsung) in that sense it gave google everything it needed: high marketshare AND competition within android to keep prices low.
Google Could Pay Apple $1 Billion Next Year To Remain Default Search Engine On iOS
According to a report from Morgan Stanley, Google could pay more than $1 billion in 2014 to remain the default search engine on iOS. In 2009, Google paid only $82 million for the privilege.
That's a 12-times increase! Don't you see, who is the weak part in this relationship? Google needs to beg and bribe hardware makers to let their services on the phone. And still Microsoft could just write an even bigger cheque and make Bing! the default search on all Apple devices. From one contract to another Google could lose almost half of mobile search. That's a very vulnerable business position.
ANd google well get even more profits from that, if anything it just shows how badly apple underestimated google in 2009 .
Every point android grows ios get less and less important for google.

"Android continues to be the most popular mobile platform, with its share of smartphone sales climbing in every major market in Q4 2013, now accounting for 69.5% of all sales across 12 key markets versus 23.7% for number-two Apple, "
"Elsewhere, although Apple has seen overall declines losing a proportion of sales in each of the 12 big markets tracked by Kantar, in fact (the trend for some time now) "
If you declare victory only because Samsung hasn't turned against them (yet), than conceding defeat in the hardware market, is a big win for Google.
Which just shows you still dont understandd google's model.
They never intented to compete on hardware level with samsung lg or asus nexus was to push android acceptance by offering from low end to high end affordable devices. Once android is installed with people google reaps the benefits.
I wonder why Microsoft bought Nokia, if the true success model in the mobile market evolves around not making any mobile devices? Stupid me, who thought Microsofts problem was that their phones did not sell. Now I see they should just give away their software for free and open to change. And just bribe everybody to keep their services as default. And the reason Microsoft couldn't simply do what Google does, clearly isn't evidence that Google has a monopoly on search-based advertising.
MS doesnt license its OS. You do understand the difference between android and windows mobile? Sorry but perhaps you should read some more before making comments?
MS TRIED to emulate the android/google model and failed. Market share remained couple of % so they switched and bought nokia and will now copy apple model.
