Decades ago when discussing why IBM divisions couldnt get behind their own OS (OS/2 Warp) it was said that at a giant corp like Big Blue "the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing". That applies to all big corps, and in the case of Google, I suspect there must be a total disconnect between the development team and the outsourced keyboard punchers answering questions on "web forums". What someone should do is look up what's the name of the Google Earth product manager, find him on Linkedin, and publiucly shame him. I mean surely he's getting paid really well for managing a product he's clearly not managing or cariung about very well. I mean, if I had "Google Earth product manager @ Google" the least I'd do is ask for one machine with every OS suported, install "my product" on all of 'em and use them on a daily basis to make sure users are getting a consistent experience, then regularly roam the web support forums and see what the feedback about the product is, then discuss problems reported there with the devs. That's clearly NOT happening. I think by now Google is hopelessly in the "too big to fail" category. I mean, I just got a tiny ARM netbook that comes preloaded with Android Kitkat. Google Maps was part of the apps bundle. On the first update I let Google Play install, the Maps app became unusable. Something surely having to do with a screen size adjustement setting... because as soon as the app is launched the screen enters a resizing frenzy o a loop,and you can't exit it. You have to turn off the system and reboot. Great work, Google, it shows your app testing is reaching new world records... ;) FC -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
