It all started when Microsoft managed to destroy all the competition of computer manufacturers and created a world wide monopoly for their OS Windows. It is obvious that Microsoft conspired with Apple, because according to the obvious travesty, which is the demented US anti-monopoly law, if there is at least one competitor left, it's not classified as monopoly. Thanks to Apple, Microsoft was cleared from any legal troubles.
Now it is happening again. Google has become a monopolist in communication technologies with OS Android and Google search engine. Again, thanks to Apple, Google is not considered a world wide OS monopolist, as long as Apple is on the market with iOS. Also Apple has millions of fans around the world, It is very easy for them to provide an alternative with Apple search engine and Apple mail to stop Google from controlling internet, but Apple is doing absolutely nothing, even if it is a very profitable move for them.
I am detecting a 100% conspiracy here, exactly like it happened between Apple and Microsoft.

Didn't Microsloth prop up Apple financially ages ago? I remember them investing or buying shares in the early Jobbs days. Just too lazy to look it up. I agree with you wholeheartedly, especially when it is proven they rigged the employment market to drive down wages in the tech field. Why would they not conspire on many other projects.
I have been waiting for a Linux platform for mobile for ages and would be happy to give it a go. But Ubuntu has hardly progressed and I know of no other projects in the works. Was kind of excited for Firefox OS as it was based on hybrid web based apps but that went nowhere. It perplexes me that there is no open source or at least GNU OS on the market. Not a mobile dev but I would imagine it has to do with complexity of mobile components and the lack of support from the manufacturers.

Right on! Thanks for the link. I remember even back then thinking that it was an odd decision.

Nvidia did something similar for AMD.

Good to know. Controlled opposition is the best opposition.
