Good morning! No trillion-dollar corporation is your friend. Here’s wishing you a lovely day :)

@aral So ordering stuff on Amazon using your iPhone over AT&T, delivered by UPS is out of the question?

@chris If you only order stuff from your friends using your friends' technology, delivered by your friends, then yes, out of question.

Although that's a pretty big “if”.

@chris @aral
Transactional relationships are how companies should work. You give them money, they give you stuff. Fin.
But don’t think they’re doing something because they care about you. If there was a way to make more money by feeding you into a wood chipper, you’d already be mulch.

@aral bb-but they really say all the nice words I needed to hear! Now I can sleep better at night while "my" (the i in iPhone refers to Tim Cook) phone is being scanned.

@aral Some people say: ‘#Google is your friend.’ But I always felt our relation was more like family. Google is like a #BigBrother to me.
