[edit] Android
Surely android deserves more of a mention here? It's the largest smartphone platform by far. Only a couple of short mentions on the article.

[edit] China hacks google
I couldn't find anything mentioning the Google hacks earlier this year in China. Is it in another page?
"In January, Google said it had been subjected to a "sophisticated cyber attack originating from China" - it said the e-mail accounts of human rights activists were among those hacked." China leadership 'orchestrated Google hacking' http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-11920616
The release of secret US embassy cables on Chinese hacking this weekend by WikiLeaks shines fresh light on the issue, first publicised in January with Google’s disclosure that its security had been pierced by hackers seeking company programs and information on dissidents." US fears Beijing still backs hacking http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/9a0eabc2-0016-11e0-ad1d-00144feab49a.html

[edit] Yahoo/Google patents
"Yahoo patents could throw a monkey wrench into Facebook’s IPO hopes" http://venturebeat.com/2011/11/08/yahoo-facebook-patent-dispute/ Interesting tidbit - but where does it fit ? Ottawahitech (talk) 15:12, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
[edit] Google.com page has mistake.

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
in the first section it says Blogger.com is Alexa:6, but it is actually Alexa:49. Blogspot.com is Alexa:6.

- Google owns Blogger, and the blogs are mainly hosted by Google at a subdomain of blogspot.com. Strictly speaking, Blogger's Alexa rank is 43 and Blogspot's is 7.--♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 08:50, 18 December 2011 (UTC)
[edit] Google privacy violation in Kenya
Mocality, a Kenyan firm that creates online business directories, has accused Google of misusing its database and misrepresenting its relationship with it in order to drum up business in the country. On January 13th Nelson Mattos, a Google executive, said that his firm was "mortified" by the episode, had "unreservedly apologised" to Mocality for its behaviour and was in the process of investigating how the situation arose.

- Google is just about to (March 2012) implement a new Privacy Policy, FWIW: [2]
- People with Gmail accounts should also know that when you are signed-in to your Gmail account and access another Google site like YouTube it also creates an account on the other site and logs you-in whether the user wants one or not. I only noticed this when with my e-mail open, I also opened another browser window open at YouTube - I never opened an account with YouTube, nor do I want one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.4.57.101 (talk) 09:54, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
