google is starting to upset me. they are turning out to be like Apple and Steve Jobs. "what you see is what you get...and you must use our services and no...you cannot opt out"

I dont want to use latitude or picasa...yet it syncs to my android anyways even though id like it not to. it doesnt even give me the options of deleting the picasa or latitude useage. i enjoy the usefullness of smart phones but forcing options down peoples throat like apple or google does, is rubbing alot of peoples backs the wrong way, mine very included.

Hold on there for a second. Please do a a little searching before bashing google.
I for one, hate Microsoft and Apple anything...yes, Google will become big brother slowly which i ALSO hate.

But...google gives you vast options unlike the competitors.
Google pretty much ALLOWS you to root your phone and DELETE latitude or picasa...or any other bloat software that comes with the Android OS.
Btw...i have gmail removed from my phone~ Freedom found only on an Android OS.

I probably wont use the google +1 since i opted to not even use gmail in the first place haha.
