You're misusing the analogy. Google is the friend, and Google product X is the friend's promise, and since the friend has broken promises Y, Z, A, B, C, D, E... in the past, eventually one stops believing the friend's promises.

So now, when the friend says, "Hey, meet me at $PLACE tonight at $TIME and we'll do $ACTIVITY," you say, "Yeah, right," and don't bother to go, because there's a good chance he won't show up, or he'll leave after 5 minutes, and you'll have to pay his tab.



Ok. We just have different outlooks.


You probably think "I'll love you forever" to means someone is promising to be around for you until the heat death of the universe.


Would you please stop posting unsubstantive comments to HN?
