I like android, but Google has been loving a lot of things up recently. Youtube is stupid you have to have a Google+ account just to upload vids. Gmail is different and I still like it but WHY DID THEY REMOVE IT FROM THE DAMN BAR.  Gmail used to be right beside the little "IMAGES" link when you searched for something, making it easy to go to gmail; but now I gotta click the damn "Apps" button, then click gmail. Always found that annoying. Don't even get me started on Ad-sense they have got that totally forgeted up now.

Maybe android will swap to duck-duck-go :3

This is great, google is a pain developer wise and the support for android software development is extremely vague, mostly due to the fact that alot of people making apps already know how to do it or are working for companies with the resources to educate them. I am all for a company trying to take the oligarchy out of phones. Its like the next linux almost (as long as they dont try to milk it for money like google,blackberry,apple, etc)

Dead serious. I wanted to upload a video the other day, wasn't logged into my gmail and didnt really want the video on my personal channel anyways. So, when I created a new "fake" Youtube account, it automatically gave me a stupid Google+ account.
I was thrilled

You need a Google account to upload content to a Google service. What is wrong with that?

Google+ is a Google service. With a Google account you automatically have access to all the public Google services through it. What is surprising about that you got access to Google+ as well?
