Seriously?
Whether it’s true or not matters less than the perception, right? So this looks like big, strong, my-best-interests-not-the-carriers-at-heart Google is caving to pressure from the Enemy.
If I’m learning anything by dipping my toes in these Apple-laden waters, it’s that the truth definitely doesn’t matter when it comes to spinning a story to best suit your interests.
Feel free to substitute “Apple” with any brand. Like Google. Or Carrier IQ.
Also, Stu: you’re not John Gruber. Your Tumblr URL suggests you are. Try changing it to be more accurate, like “iampersonallyoffendedbydaringfireball.tumblr.com”.
