People actually do use their pocket computers (often with phones chips inside…) for more than just playing games or listening to music. Plus, Google did this with no advance notice to their users. I just went to find a particular app and was immediately confronted with the notice, “By accepting Google Play you agree to these new terms of service, including the YouTube Rental Agreement”. Huh???

I don’t want to ”play ” anything , I don’t have any free time to spend on video games, and I certainly don’t want to rent anything from YouTube!

What happened to the Market?? Who is the seriously incompetent fool at Google that approved this change? And then thought it was even better to spring this idiocy on us with no notice or consultation or provision to opt out?

Google is becoming the new computing Evil Empire. Too much success and perceived power and you totally lose touch with your users. Forcing people to accept what they don’t want and don’t need is the sign of a dictator! Whatever happened to the motto “Do no evil”??

I understand the open-source Linux for the ARM processors is about ready. Not a bloody minute too soon!

CM7 has yet to get it.

Blue seems to be the standard now, but primaries are also there. I think the Books, Movies, and Music logos fit more with their primaries theme, but the actual Play logo seem out of place with how they wanted colors.

I think it’s a good move. For a large ecosystem like Android, using a single color for branding has become too much of a constraint. The new lighter colors of the Play logo doesn’t even scream Google at all.

I don’t know why it wasn’t working before.
