No sooner has Microsoft managed to get a full-featured YouTube app
running on Windows Phone 8 – something it long maintained was
impossible – than an irate Google has asked it to immediately remove
the app from the Windows Phone Store.
The Verge, which editor-in-chief Joel Topolsky has described as "a
news site which covers the culture of now," has published the text of
a cease and desist letter from Francisco Varela, YouTube's director of
global platform partnerships, in which he demands Redmond nix its
week-old YouTube app posthaste.
According to the letter, Google's biggest beef with the Microsoft-
authored app is that it blocks the display of ads, in violation of the
YouTube Terms of Service.

I installed adblock on Sarari and Firefox - is this another law I'm
breaking?
