Google says "here's a ton of cool shit for YOUR phone. Do whatever you want with it, but here are some of the cool things you can do."
Of course Steve Jobs has a suggestion:
"People who want to see stuff like that [porn] should get an Android phone." - Steve Jobs
Google, HTC, and the other companies that work with Android haven't commented about what content you view because they think it's YOUR phone to use however you see fit.
Some people really like Apple's box. I prefer not to be stuck in a box. For example, hardware. With Apple, there's one hardware choice, take it or leave it. With Android, there are hundreds of options for hardware. You can choose one with a faster processor, more memory, lower price, brighter screen, whatever you want. Apple - you get the processor they say, the screen they say, etc. Some people like Apple's choices or still feel that's the "in" thing. Others like the freedom to choose.
And to your mind Google and HTC don't qualify as companies.
You're someone who prefers proprietary rather than own source. That's cool.
So presumably rather than a server system such as Linux or FreeBSD your site runs from a Windows desktop. Cool. I suppose you'd never use Wordpress because it's open source so rather than one company behind it there are thousands of Wordpress programmers ready to serve your needs. That's cool. SOMEBODY has to keep buying FrontPage. I think Windows are good places to through Front Page out of. Different strokes for different folks.

Yeah, they're fucking brainwashed. Almost everyone in my immediate family and circle of friends has an iPhone. When I showed any of them my Droid Bionic, which is arguably the most intense cell phone to be released so far, they couldn't be bothered to even look at it -- even if they have an iPhone 3. It's like nothing else even exists.
That's what pisses me off about them. I've spent some time with iPhones, I know what they can do, etc but I choose Android (because of the diversity).
iPhone people are just like "iPhone...duh...durka durka. iPhone does this...look." -- not realizing that every Android phone does the same shit, and probably better in most cases.
When I went into the Verizon store to get my Bionic, the sales guy tried to get me to wait for the iPhone 5, because he's one of those people. He showed me this video...
---not realizing the technology is years away, and that the video is just a concept by some Mac fanboy dreamer. So it's fake. Facepalm.
I got my sister in law Klipsch $350 earbuds as a Christmas present. She still uses the stupid white crap iPod headphones(BTW, those things are the skateboard of earbuds). She gave the Klipsch earbuds to her boyfriend, who uses them as his "backup" headphones(he also uses the white iPod earbuds). This is the mentality of those zombies. They would rather listen to shit earbuds, but make sure everyone knows they're one of the cool people. It would be the worst thing for someone to see them with black earbuds.
If you're an Apple freak and don't think like this, excuse me -- but most of you are fucking sheep.
To the original poster, don't be one of those sheep.
