In a way it's kind of a healthy thing. Google research isn't so locked down that they're prevented from releasing something cool that only works on the platforms of direct competitors.

I think we've already transitioned through that period.

As a Brit who finds this sort of thing completely scary/abhorrent, I often wonder what it is about our culture that makes this so. I think a big part of it is the class-system, which has its root…
