They built an unauthorized app and now they are complaining that the app is unauthorized.




HTTP baby!

Trying to enforce a client side rule of 'no downloading' when every web browser in the world can download should be disregarded and mocked heartily.


I am happy that the customers are getting access to the most widely used video site. I will let the companies dunk it out as to what is unauthorized or what is not. MS responded to it already, and said they are will be happy to work towards betterment of mutual customers on a day where Larry page loathed negativity among companies. Or something to that effect.


They're abusing the patent system to extort money from Android device manufacturers and they have to gall to completely ignore requirements in a ToS.

I'm looking forward to the day when Microsoft is completely irrelevant. They should just shut down everything except for the research and Xbox departments now.


Ok love, they will listen to you and shut everything down. What else will make you happy? Motorola actually proving useful to Google?


Of course they will shut it all down. Eventually they'll be forced to when nobody cares about them anymore.
