So, you’ve always been able to sideload apps on Android, Google is just using unfair practices to stop other people’s app stores from being popular.
When does this ruling affect Apple, who actually has a monopoly on their store?
So if something is shitty, the solution would be to shut up about it and pray that the 40%+ of the world who buys the shitty thing suddenly has an epiphany that they've been buying shitty things? Excellent logic.
That's dillusional American-centric thinking. Apple only has a 28% market share globally while Android still dominates over 70%.
Ok... the off-the-cuff number was not the point in the least. The point is that MILLIONS of people happily use those shitty products and they're not going to just suddenly stop doing so.
But sure, all that matters here is that you despise americans.
Umm... I am an American, and never said anything about hating the place. I dislike the American attitude I encounter daily that everything happening here has more importance and everywhere else is irrelevant.
If I was really as "America centric" as you think I would've said 60%. I'm sorry if you think my meaningless stab in the dark to make a completely different point means that you think I don't care about the rest of the world. It doesn't.
Either way, you missed the point if all you're focused on is a random guess that wasn't even meant to be accurate. The fact that it was a round even number without a source is a clue that it was a guess.
