Re: Facetime
...Google Hangouts? I'm pretty much your definition of an Apple Fanboi at this point, and I don't much care. But the rest of my family lives on the Google Phone ecosystem, so if I want to video call them, I use Google Hangouts. None of them are tech-savvy enough to even know how to spell Skype, I wot, so that's right out. -Mike @MikeVitale42 "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin, 1759 Historical Review of Pennsylvania |

Re: Facetime
Heh, no. Never getting chained to any Google product that isn't search, maps or mail. That goes double for messaging. They're all on Facebook anyway. |

Why that distinction? No Hangouts, but yes Mail

Google burns everything that everyone loves
...that isn't mail, maps or search. YouTube is probably safe. Probably. http://www.wordstream.com/blog/ws/2013/06/27/discontinued-google-products-services And that's four years old! Personally, I'm not forgiving them for killing Talk. Man, I loved that program. |

I liked Reader
Plenty of other people spun up replacements, and I'm happy with what I've got now, but that one seemed stupid. Why would they not want to know what people are reading? -- Drew |
