Moving...

Considering the most recent Google developments I think it is for the best to move out of the Google-powered platform. It is truthfully disappointing to see the corporation with proclaimed motto "Do not be evil" turning more "Resistance is futile" side.
Weird it may sound but out of big three - Apple, Google and Microsoft, the latter seems to be most adequate in terms of user-respect conduct and a friendly way to do business (maybe had been beaten enough throughout all these years). It was a disappointment to encounter Google customer service (which is kind of half-expected) and even business account management (totally surprising). It fits perfectly the "screw-you-if-your-revenue-is-less-that-10-digits"-type of snooty service provider but not the "Don't be Evil" VP-of-Ethics-powered.
Concerning the quality of the products I have my own opinion, all the same - far not to the Google advantage...

Why I like being in this trade

It's worth it just for the joy of appreciating the humour and craft of the content of the following page (including the URL):

NB: I just stumbled upon it - I have never heard about it before, I don't understand (yet) what is it about - but it made me very curious. Your experience may vary.
