I'm not quite sure if this is submitted because there is news about new Motorola devices or if it's just another innocent submission, but if you haven't noticed, that post is obviously about devices and management pre Google

COPPA makes compliance tricky, that is why Google (and others) try to avoid it altogether. There's still no wide agreement on how to properly implement the ‘paternal permission’ provision, and what sort of data would be allowed to be c

I have. Google Apps support, you get to speak to a real person and everything (unless it was an advanced internal build of Google Now).

I don't see the connection there. Anyway it would appear that the universe has survived that ordeal.

Only reason huh? nothing to do with prettifying the web and making developers happy, because that doesn't benefit Google in any way...

Since when did HN become a YouTube support area?! I personally haven't seen any uptake in ads nor will your anecdotal observations attract any sort of factual comments. Also I don't think that a supposed 75% of videos showing ads

How is it “hypocritical”? they tend to boot malware as well from the play store, which also violates the TOS. This app has bricked the devices of less technical users and left them without a warranty, Google's obligations is to prevent

I'm not sure what "Microsoft from the 1990's" or the "Cold War" have to do with anything here. There have been reports of users bricking their devices using the app (check the various support forums) they then

You're missing the point, the app is in violation of the TOS, the fact that Google is in contact with the CyanogenMod team about the issues means that it's just an adjustment that is required for it to comply. There have been repo

Did you actually read beyond the headline?! Google didn't remove the app they contacted CyanogenMod about the app being in violation of TOS because it ‘encourages users to void their warranty’ (a totally valid reason) so they voluntar

This has very little to do with logging in with Chromium. Picasa was the first service to integrate with G+, they then allowed high resolution picture hosting and the like. This also has nothing to do with "maximizing profits" (at

It's an evidence free nonsense article, but to answer that quoted tweet: YouTube for Schools doesn't contain ads http://www.youtube.com/schools

I think it's the hypocrisy that irks me the most about this. I remember a short while back a Microsoft employee was asking on HN 'why the hate?' Well, THIS (Oh, and the patents thing).

Being "Linus's father" doesn't mean they are telepathically linked. He was referencing the comments in that video, not privileged insider knowledge.

Isn't there a guideline about editorializing submission titles?
