I am coming to terms with the reality that I am no longer allowed to be a Google user, and it's depressing to say the very least. I got an email last week letting me know that my Google Wallet card had been suspended due to fraud prevention and that I needed to verify personal information. I sent them a scan of my driver's license and my associated debit card, and received a response that my information could not be verified. I tried to verify again, this time with a bank account statement and my credit card. Again, my account could not be verified. I called Google Wallet support and sat on hold with a representative for 30 minutes while he tried to verify my account, but it could not be verified. He recommended that I contact developer support as it may be part of my Developer account. I contacted developer support and, while they didn't mention a specific reason, they suggested that I file an appeal as my account may have been terminated due to "violations by associated developer accounts." I filed an appeal and was denied -immediately- due to "multiple policy violations by this or associated accounts". I was also instructed to not start another account as it would be suspended as well and all funds forfeit. I was told to refer to the emails I received with the subject REASON FOR REMOVAL, however I never received any emails. I was able to eventually isolated the issue as to why my account was terminated: a developer I had worked with in the past, who was still associated with my account, HAD had their account terminated, but not for apps associated with my account, nor had that developer released any apps on my account at all. They were simply associated with my account as a developer. (Not an owner or administrator). I imagine this was Google removing any means of this developer releasing an app, but I would've hoped terminating their account would've accomplished there. How bad is the termination? The termination comes along with suspending my Google Wallet account, which can also not be re-opened. Not by my real name, bank account, email address, or credit card. This means that Google will literally no longer accept money from me for any reason. My Google Drive subscription lapsed today and can not be renewed. My Google Music subscription will lapse at the end of the month and can not be renewed. I got into the Google Domains beta and I'm lucky I didn't transfer any domains to them because I likely wouldn't have been able to pay for those as well. I can no longer purchase ANYTHING from the Play store; Not music, not movies, not apps, and not even devices like Glass. I can no longer purchase micro-transactions in the apps I already own. I can never make an NFC payment again. At this point, literally, my only option to be able to continue as a mobile user and developer is to commit completely to iOS. I have to buy an iPhone*. I have to find a new music subscription service. I have to purchase music and videos either through iTunes or Amazon. Worst of all, my story is not the only one. The internet is full of stories of users who have been terminated for reason they can not entirely understand. A termination from being an Android Developer is a termination from being a Google user and you are automatically guilty by association even if you have violated no policies yourself. I am not happy to say the very least. tl;dr: Termination of your developer account also permanently suspends your Google Wallet. *Addendum: After further research I could probably use the Amazon app store, something like rdio or Spotify for music, and Dropbox or Skydrive for a Drive replacement, but I'd just really rather not have to do any of that. I could also buy an Amazon or Windows Phone but.....

Glassholes represent the embarrassing side of the Google Intelligence Corporation. Instead of using laptops, they wear their computers on their bodies, broken up into separate modules that hang on the waist, on the back, on the headset. They serve as human surveillance devices, recording everything that happens around them. Nothing looks stupider; these getups are the modern-day equivalent of the slide-rule scabbard or the calculator pouch on the belt, marking the user as belonging to a class that is at once above and far below human society. They are a boon to Hiro because they embody the worst stereotype of the GIC stringer. They draw all the attention. The payoff for this self-imposed ostracism is that you can be in the Metaverse all the time, and gather intelligence all the time.

steve jobs gave larry advice about focus that would make google a competitive threat, and what larry took away from it was to do "spring cleanings". he only understood it at a superficial level and so google will never be a threat cause the mismanagement is deep and institutional. then theres books like "how google works" that eric is shilling everywhere which circlejerks google's management strategy (and will become dogma) thereby ensuring it will never be changed by anyone inside the company lmao.

google has corporate sales teams in my building and they are the usual collection of aggressive advertising sales dudes (deliberate pronoun choice). all use iPhones and would be surprised to hear Google has products other than Adwords

i wonder if there's anyone at apple who doesn't use an iphone the only way i could see it happening is if they were like this professor i know who had an iphone and hated the concept of a touch screen phone so much that she sold it and got a flip phone again.

as is true everywhere, not everyone here gives a gently caress about smartphones. i know a guy who kept his flip phone for years and a woman who's probably still using the free droid her husband got from his job at google

sometimes google's business plan feels like jacking off in an uncomfortable place like in a public bathroom and you've gotta figure out on the fly how to make it to the sink without getting market failure all over you becaue you've still got a head full of orgasm and so you take your sperm and stick in in your mouth to be spat out for later
