Samsung has released a new video in support of Google’s #GetTheMessage campaign which calls for Apple to adopt RCS or “Rich Communication Services,” the cross-platform protocol pitched as a successor to SMS that adopts many of the features found in modern messaging apps… like Apple’s own iMessage.

      No, they’re not. They didn’t make the kids rally around bubble colors. They didn’t create the hierarchy. Nor did they create any enticements or reward those that used it. It just happened. Not doing anything to stop it isn’t exploiting it.

      And expecting any company to cater to the stupidity of its or it’s competitor’s user base is fucking ignorant.

      As I said- you k ow damn well you’d do the exact same thing about it- which is nothing. And collect tons of cash.

        No I would make it available to everyone in a fuckin’ heartbeat because I’m not a scumbag but maybe that’s why I’m not a CEO.
