Best use of a Harry Potter reference in Android reporting.

Perhaps more people will relate to this: I hate Android for the same reason that Severus Snape hates Harry Potter — the very sight reminds me of something so beautiful, that was taken. Except it’s worse. It’s as if Harry Potter has grown up to become Voldemort. 

Paris Lemon’s post on why he hates Android is a bit whiny, but he’s right about Google. Their strategy to enter the phone market failed miserably and, in turn, they screwed everyone over with their Verizon deal. 

Closing quote from Lemon:

It’s so wonderful that the platform which helped cripple Net Neutrality and is keeping the evil carriers in control is taking off. Make no mistake: Android is now the carriers’ best friend.
