Anything in particular I'm missing?
I don't think of it as an "office app" at all, and it would frankly kind of bizarre to have to use QuickOffice to get at the various tar files, html files, image files, etc, that I've put into G.D....
If anything they should really just share components, with Google Drive invoking Q.O. document editors as appropriate, and maybe a Q.O. app remaining as a thin "office-oriented" frontend (whatever that means).
Obviously Google would remove that feature as they now own Quickoffice, I would have been FAR more surprised if they kept it in.
Edit: it's me or Quickoffice is complete crap? I tried opening a document in Google Docs and it opens as PDF! then I created a new document and it doesn't have headings, just like the Google Drive application.
It's working fine for me, .doc/.docx extensions open in QuickWord as expected.
Even if they don't support a format, they could at least display a proper message. "Format not supported". That's purely an overlook.
in the eighties the allmighty IBM get crushed by the rookie microsoft because it didnt see the new software wave comming.. and from this new market its arch-enemy was born
now microsoft is falling into pieces, because microsoft in the nineties, didnt see the internet revolution comming (or was afraid to ask), and its killer born from it.
google its not only taking what once was a market dominated by microsoft, but are dominating also in the internet arena.. and if you guys see well .. they have created a "internet as a platform", buying and acquiring all over the ones who create little niches in this BIG massive platform..
my question is.. it will have internet life outside of the google internet platform? and worst yet..
it will have life outside of the corporate internet the took all over? (the people who knew the internet in the beggining of times know what im talking about)
before us all were considered products and advert targets?
The internet remains the internet; Google is not creating "the internet as a platform".
Fractured English is usually quite tolerable as long as it's somewhat coherent, but when it comes in the form of a nonsensical rant I find it exponentially less so.
Also, there are the inner mechanics of capitalism, with its acquisitions and fusions.. and quickoffice its a example of that..
on the other side, the small companies wont stand against delicious buying offers of billions of dollars..
Capitalism its all about monopoly, isnt? so.. 2 + 2 = ..
Eric schimidt maybe is a small guy, but what a appetite.. :)
Sorry, my OCD wouldn't allow me to absorb your otherwise well thought out post.
Also, the stock browser on Android (the non Chrome one) and also the one built into Android Webviews in apps has no websocket support.
