Google had two significant problems with Microsoft's app: it allowed
videos to be downloaded so that they could be watched offline, and
it didn't display any ads.

Microsoft updated the app a few days ago to remove the contentious
download ability, but the shortage of ads remained. That's
apparently not enough to keep Google happy, so even that updated
application has now been pulled.
-----

What ever happened to Android being so open? Ah, it is open - as long as
Google gets their cut.

Google's business model is to monetize personal data. The more data they get
and the more ads they toss at you the better they do. At least MS and Apple,
primarily, use business models where they make stuff and *sell* it. They
collect much less personal info.

That article is about Microsoft's Windows Phone youtube app and has
*nothing* to do with Android or its app market.

Snit, isn't english your native language? Do you really have such a bad
reading comprehension? Or is it just your usual dishonesty?

Too bad you weren't around when Spam Boy Roy Schestowitz was posting
many articles per day where the subject had nothing to do with the
content of the article.

You would have been very busy.

Then again, maybe you *were* around back then.

Hey, while he stated his comments in an offensive and trollish way, I did
make a mistake. I commend him for finally catching me in one after months of
trying and failing and making a complete fool of himself.

He finally was at least largely right about something. Excellent to see!

Ah, the best parenting advice the herd can give: instead of wasting time
letting your sick kid get and being readily available for her, keep her
awake and do not let her sleep or rest or do anything to get better.

I remember your twisting and game playing to try to sound knowledgeable...
and your failing. It was fun. My favorite of the ones you list is when you
said I was "lying" about the ownership rights Apple has on WebKit but could
not find a single one I listed where I was wrong. You still never did. It
was great fun.

But that is not the focus here. Really, in this case you actually caught me
making a mistake... I commend you for that. It has been a huge goal of yours
and you finally succeeded. Excellent work!

Still, the idea that they are a Linux "Free" company is silly, but that is

Please don't lie you fool!
Apple *OWNS* WebKit.
They bought out the KHTML project years ago when they started developing
Safari and open sourced it as WebKit.

And I listed their ownership rights. You never found a single one I was
incorrect about, no less "lying" about as you accused.

As I said, you have been *desperate* to catch me making a mistake. In this
thread you did. You made a big deal out of it and it has, clearly, brought
you great pleasure to have finally, after so many failed attempts, found me
making a mistake.

It is now proved: Snit is not perfect. I make mistakes. Wow. Good for you
for showing this.

Of course, you have also given me a chance (again) to show that, unlike you,
when I am shown to be wrong I admit to it.

Come on - why can't you just admit I am right about every one of the
ownership rights I speak of Apple having in terms of WebKit:

Apple does own the name "WebKit".
Apple does own the WebKit logo.
Apple does not the webkit.org website.
Apple does get to decide what is added to WebKit.
Apple does not get to decide what is left out of WekKit.

Now the third one is kinda tangential... but the others are key. Still, if
you can show I am wrong even about the third one that would be a "win" for
you... and, keep in mind, it has now been shown I commend you when you
actually show me to be wrong. I do not mind being shown to be wrong - unlike
you it is not about ego but about knowledge.

So show me which of those I am wrong about. But you need to do two things to
back your claim:

1) State which one (or ones) you think I am wrong about
2) Back your position

Still this would not show I "lied", as you accused, but it would show I was
in error. That would be a great day for you (twice you would have shown Snit
to be wrong... *WOW*) and it would educate me (I would learn I was wrong
about one of those).

Win - Win. So why not do it?

Oh, because for you it is not about knowledge - it is about ego. And now
that you have declared me a "liar" for noting Apple has those ownership
rights in terms of WebKit, it is psychologically very painful for you to
admit I am right.

That is OK. I understand. You are not mature enough to admit to your errors.
Maybe someday you will be there. When you do I shall congratulate you and
speak highly of you. I might toss in a good natured "dig" and say "finally"
or something like that, but I sincerely will be happy to see you mature to
that level.

Here is what I educated Brad cc Wiggins, you, and others in COLA about:
<http://youtu.be/MoW3hMq-eIc>.

You are embarrassed you did not know. A shame. But it is the norm of the
COLA "advocates" of COLA... only information they will accept in COLA is
from their own herd... does not matter how accurate or well supported the
information is. And here you are backing my claims. So, I suppose, I owe you
a thank you for, again, showing me to be right about your herd (though, I
admit, you have made some statements that go against the list of
herd-accepted BS).

Apple does own the name "WebKit".
Apple does own the WebKit logo.
Apple does not the webkit.org website.
Apple does get to decide what is added to WebKit.
Apple does not get to decide what is left out of WekKit.

You never did say which you thought I was wrong about.

You just say the overall concept they show is wrong. How does that work?
Every *example* in the set is correct but the claim the set exists is
wrong... bizarre and shows you do not really get what is being said.

I have given Lusotec many, many chance to say which of the specific
ownership rights he thinks I am wrong about:

Apple does own the name "WebKit".
Apple does own the WebKit logo.
Apple does not the webkit.org website.
Apple does get to decide what is added to WebKit.
Apple does not get to decide what is left out of WekKit.

So far his response has just been to run away crying I am wrong and lying
and blah blah blah.

This is even *after* Google proved me right by creating Blink. If they could
just control what was added and removed from WebKit they could have just
done that. But they *cannot* do that. Apple has those ownership rights.
Period.

Lusotec has no leg to stand on. None at all.

You educated me? LOL!

That video is *proof* you didn't (still don't?) know what a bell curve is.

To educate others you have to educate yourself first. To educate yourself,
you have to be willing and able to do so. Your insistence on so many dumb
claims even after being shown clear proof they are wrong leads me to believe
you are either unwilling or unable to do so.

More importantly, the fact that you still have not corrected or removed that
video after you were informed by me of its problems is very regrettable,
especially for someone that claims to be a teacher.

Google critically depends on Linux. All Google's services run on GNU/Linux
servers. Google's ChromeOS and Android OSs are Linux based. Google is very
much a Linux company.

The ownership rights I speak of are the *only* rights I attributed to Apple.
You claim that I am not just wrong to attribute those right to Apple but
that it is dishonest to do so. You are simply wrong. But for you this is not
about information or knowledge but about ego.

You can claim otherwise, but certainly neither you nor Brad cc Wiggins or
anyone else in the conversation showed any understanding of what I show in
that video until after I produced it and showed it to you. But if it makes
you feel better to say you knew the first standard deviations were at the
inflection points even before I told you then that is fine by me. Again, I
am much more concerned about information and knowledge than ego. You feel
better claiming you already knew. OK. Whatever. Does not really matter to
me. It is good you know *now*. Fair enough?

> That video is *proof* you didn't (still don't?) know what a bell curve is.

Oh, I get your nit-picking distinction between a normal distribution and a
bell curve, but I *also* get that a normal distribution is commonly referred
to as a bell curve, something you have *again* shown ignorance of. Doing
just moments of Googling, though, I find this:

<http://bit.ly/16kFhwN>
-----
Bell Curve, Normal Distribution Defined

The term bell curve is used to describe the mathematical concept
called normal distribution, sometimes referred to as Gaussian
distribution. �Bell curve� refers to the shape that is created when
a line is plotted using the data points for an item that meets the
criteria of �normal distribution�.
-----

<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_distribution>

Normal distribution: The Gaussian distribution is sometimes
informally called the bell curve.

The "Bell Curve" is a Normal Distribution.
-----

<http://www.shodor.org/interactivate/discussions/TheNormalDistribution>
------
Student: What is the Bell Curve?

Mentor: The bell curve is another name for the normal distribution.
The normal distribution is a common type of graph that has more or
less the shape of a bell.
------

<http://www.netmba.com/statistics/distribution/normal/>

The shape of the normal distribution resembles that of a bell, so it
sometimes is referred to as the "bell curve"
------

<http://www.investopedia.com/terms/b/bell-curve.asp>
------
The bell curve is also known as a normal distribution. The bell
curve is less commonly referred to as a Gaussian distribution
------

And more. So there we go - another piece of knowledge for you. If you wish
to claim you already knew this, even though you have repeatedly demonstrated
you did not, I am OK with that. Just show *now* and in the future you
understand. You can save your clearly delicate ego *and* learn. And more
than that, perhaps you will stop trolling me with your claims about this.

Again, a win-win for everyone... if only you are able to learn from the
evidence provided. Are you?

And below you lash out with insults and accusations but never actually get
around to showing anywhere I am actually wrong.

This very thread is proof against your claims (another chance for you to
learn!) In this thread you *finally* caught me in an error - and my
response was to not just acknowledge it but to openly congratulate you on
doing so. In response such behavior you claim you believe I am "unwilling or
unable" to acknowledge when I have been shown to be wrong.

What a bizarre claim of yours! Do you see, now, how irrational it is?

No, they are not a "Linux company" - they are a company that uses Linux in
many ways (though they also use other OSs and software).

This is the belief repeatedly shown by the herd as Google is defended. They
are the "good" company to balance the non-Linux companies of Apple and
Microsoft. It is a herd delusion.

You think it is an "insult" to use the term herd, but I have repeatedly ask
you and others to offer an alternative but *honest* term for the group that
dishonestly calls itself the "advocates" (even though they are false
"advocates"). You have not done so.

But I am open to another term... just has to be honest and concise. And keep
in mind I have been quite clear about the baseless, inaccurate, and even
contradictory claims pushed by the herd (or, at best, rarely if ever
questioned).

Why don't you chime in on that thread and state which of those beliefs you
back? You have been willing to stand up against the herd BS and state you
disagree with Stallman's in terms of his decency and hygiene. I commend you
for that.

See the response to the exact same thing you posted 12 minutes prior to the
