Developed an app for Android and placed it on Android market. It had 5000 users after a week and then it got removed without notice, no email, no reason why, no nothing. First and last time I do anything with Google, malicious company not only for that reason but for many other.
Yes, you saw through me. I created this account 11 hours ago to make a fake response to a news article submitted 4 hours ago. I do not see how my credability increases if its 1 or 1000 days, you are still need to have the trust of an anonymous user which you pick to have or not. Usually you pick not to have to if it disagrees with your already established oppinion.
I usually lurk, I probably make an average of 5 comments per month. When I do make a comment, not only on HN I usually make a new account.
Google always sound to me as the "least" evil. No evil (their slogan) is rubbish, definatly considering the business stakes that are in Android / Google TV / Chrome OS / Youtube ( ebooks, music, movies, series, ...).
The entertainment business will always try to get some influence in the search engine as a "good-will" of Google before negotiating any contracts. To bad that's reality though.
