The word Google has become synonymous with online search as it refers to the world’s best search engine, and it has developed a platform for huge free web-based applications that now we use every day to perform tasks, or simply for entertainment. The company now is a multinational corporation with a huge budget and a pre-determined strategy to grow bigger. But how does Google does it?
Google does it simply with its interest in providing what everyone needs and the way they want it to be. Unlike the other corporates that sells good or sometimes excellent products for a high price, Google’s answer to this is simply, a high quality “product as a service” and the best part it’s for free. However, the company also does sell online advertisement spaces. The ads are served also in their propriety services like Gmail and Docs etc.
Presenting an operating system for the small gadgets and making it free is a wise way to approach the market, and to get the approval of the experts the company made it based on Linux, the developers’ favorite. The project was first at the hands of a small company, but Google acquired it and financed the project so it can become a reality in order to expand in the telecommunication industry. The smart thing was including all of its services alongside new ones into the software, this making it getting closer to its users and getting the feedback with not much of an effort.
Google has developed some of its key services out from university labs. At first they would be tested for a long time internally, and then when it’s near perfection it’s released to the world like Gmail. The service was in beta phase for five years before it became stable. It’s is a pressure-free developing style, a style that divers it from others. While other companies have deadlines and a releasing schedule, Google doesn’t, simply because there is no one to report to. Its external contracts are different; Google doesn’t create a product for another corporate. Having so will enforce the company to work in a narrow area and with predetermined way. On the contrary it simply creates and presents the product for the other companies to work with.
Its employees are encouraged to work on project that interests them directly. This corporate culture cannot be simply copied. If it was, we would see someone doing it. It’s also what divers it from other companies and it’s what defines it now. Making the workspace fun and interesting is to maintain the current staff and attract new “brains”, the ones who might have an idea of a project that can turn out to be the next big thing.
Google maintains its services up and running with its dependency on ads; this was at first and might still be at a certain degree. But its market share and its focus on many fields might define the future of the corporate. Sole dependency on ads online is definitely not a good strategy and Google has figured that out already, with its expanding plans to other areas, first, ten years ago when it acquired Blogger the famous blogging platform. After that YouTube, with its 4 Billion videos streamed daily, alongside it’s cloud music service that has shown great threat to competitors with its simplicity. And lately it’s 12.5 Billion bid on Motorola Mobility.
It’s clear that Google continues to grow with its unique way of managing its business. It’s is what will define the corporate future, alongside our lifestyle that has been influenced and still does. We used to read printed books; we now read them on small devices to save the huge space the books occupy. There are many examples of how Google has enhanced the way we perform our tasks and activities and made them easy for us, and this is the reason why Google is so succeful.

NOTHING is free. I am as guilty as most of the people for taking their 'free' candy, but it will someday bite us on the ass.
Not sure when, but it will happen. And it won't be pretty!
And believe me they are not doing it to be good corporate citizens.

It will cost me more than 25 cents in electricity just deleting all of the spam generated from signing up to worthless sites. And 5 cents for showing a referral 1000 times? Lol. I think bums on skid row wouldn't waste their time on that!
BTW, Nice segue into a plug for your site.
Please read the following bad news.
https://www.facebook.com/CyanogenMod/posts/10152367978770425
We at CM are very trusting of our members, showed by both respect and permissions granted to those people we consider part of the team. Last month, this trust was violated in a substantial way. In the spirit of openness, here is what happened.
CM’s history is well established, with Cyanogen releasing his original ROM for the G1 on XDA forums. Back then, there was no “CyanogenMod” in terms of the organization and structure that we have today. The builds were hosted on Steve’s personal machine, the original server was a donation of spare kit from Phaseburn. And due to the small size (and lack of funds), the CyanogenMod.com domain was bought by a third-party back in 2009 and donated to CM, when CM was a much smaller project and had no online presence besides XDA.
Fast-forward 3 years, we have 3 extremely powerful build boxes donated by the community and an army of developers, contributors, and supported devices. But, a little over a week ago, things took a bad turn. The person owning the CyanogenMod.com domain was caught impersonating Steve to make referral deals with community sites. When confronted and asked to hand over control of the domain amicably, he decided he wanted 10K USD for it, which we won't (and can't) pay.
We contacted those he had established deals with, only to discover that the person tasked with maintaining our web presence was setting up deals under the CM name, and impersonating Cyanogen himself. Plenty of satisfying evidence was provided by those sites / entities to make us certain that this wasn't a misunderstanding or one-time thing.
This leaves us at a critical impasse. Being trusted with CM’s web presence means this member had control over the CM social network accounts (Twitter/FB) as well as domains (cyanogenmod.com). We have changed ownership of the social media accounts. When asked again to make the transition nicely, he responded with the following
“Hi, so you think by removing all my access across the infrastructure was going to be a great idea? We had a chat yesterday, you've decided to end this bitter. How about I just change the DNS entries right now. CM will practically go down.”
Refusing to be extorted for funds, and then being threatened is “ending it bitter”? Today, it happened: all of our records were deleted, and cyanogenmod.com is slowly expiring out of the Internet and being replaced by blank pages and non-existing sites. @cyanogenmod.com e-mail is now being directed to a mailserver completely out of our control, too.
We have begun the dispute process with ICANN to reclaim our domain. In the meantime, please utilize CyanogenMod.org and all applicable subdomains.
As mentioned, this member also managed our Google Apps for Business account, and therefore our @cyanogenmod.com email addresses. These addresses should be considered discontinued until further notice. We will be contacting the Google team to reclaim rights to the apps account. In the meantime, please contact [email protected] for any devrel questions or other issues. A mailserver is being established to transition devrel and other support email addresses. We will provide those when they are finalized, and they will utilize the .org domain.
We don’t like how this played out, and we are deeply hurt. Likewise, we are deeply saddened at the confusion this may have caused the community. We will continue to be open about the what, when, how, but unfortunately, we may never know the ‘why’ - though greed comes to mind. The team itself has not made a profit off of CM and that is not our goal. But to have one of our own betray the community like this is beyond our comprehension. We will update you all as things progress.
Know that we are pursuing every available legal means to regain control over our domain.
Please note, all donations that were given directly to Cyanogen (aka [email protected]) did indeed reach their destination and are not affected.
If you are a company out there that believes they have also entered into agreements with “CM” by this person impersonating Steve, please contact [email protected]. We’d like to get a handle on how widespread this was before we file charges.

things move quick...
(ciwrl wrote this, I’m just posting on his behalf so this is resolved)
So earlier today we put up a post on what prompted us to transition to our new CyanogenMod.org domain. We refrained from identifying the ex-member out of respect for his privacy and career outside of CM. Suffice it to say you guys aren’t slouches, and figured it out on your own.
With that said, the ex-member in question contacted us and has agreed to hand over control of the CyanogenMod.com domain. This was done as amicably as these things can be, and CM did not pay the fee he requested.
We will still be using CyanogenMod.org as our primary domain, and the .com address will simply redirect to this new domain. Ironically enough, ‘.org’ is better than ‘.com’ as we are not a commercial entity, and is far more in line with how CyanogenMod is structured.
We received a common question, that we’d like to take a moment to answer. Some of you contacted us mentioning that you had previously donated to a different address. When the forum began, up until about 3 months ago, the forum utilized this other address as the mechanism for forum donations and establishment of the ‘Donator’ badge. Donations made to this address prior to three months ago were used for the CyanogenMod forum IPB licence and forum related costs and were not misappropriated.
On a side note, we have also gone through internal restructuring to make sure that this sort of thing doesn’t happen again. Nobody has control over everything, and there is no longer such a large single-point of failure. Our lessons have been learned.
We ask that you please not perform any vigilante actions, we do not condone any such thing; just let this fade.
We want to move on, get you the builds you expect from us, and not mess around with distractions.

glad things worked out so quickly
hopefully this won't happen again, at least not so easily.
Maybe it is a good idea to make a petition of some kind, to send to google and maybe they will clear things up. With clearing things up I mean the problems with the already ordered Nexus 4's and the zero info about restocking. Share your thoughts here :victory:
In the UK thread "sirwilliams" already sums up a good list! Credits to him for that!
"* an acknowledgement that this has been wrong in so many ways
* an explanation as to why orders had not been shipped in the correct order
* an apology for the above
* details of how they plan to make it up to the customers whose trust in them has been left in tatters
* a commitment that orders will in future be processed and shipped to customers on a first-come, first-served basis
* clear accountability for the above - so that if it is clear this commitment has not been kept, we know exactly who to contact to provide a further explanation
* a significant change in their customer support "service" - CSRs in the country where the order was placed, a transparent "chain-of-command" so that problems can be escalated to people who will have the relevant information at their disposal
* an overhaul of the Play store, so that it does not tell misleading information, does not show duplicated orders, but instead shows more details information of the status of their order.
* acknowledgement that their CSRs have been telling untruths - an explanation as to why this is the case, and an apology.
* acknowledgement, apologies and an explanation for the customers who have waited months for their order only for Google to cancel it and then blame them
* accuracy in their documentation, ie. the correct amount which will be placed as an authorisation in advance of charges being applied rather than $1, using the word "estimate" on pages before an order is placed if that is what the quoted time is.
* a clear complaints procedure, allowing us to get in touch with people whose job is to provide an actual explanation and resolution for problems"

Seconded!
I just want to know when they will restock

That's not bad but I think two things should be highlighted out of all those points:
1. Future orders will be delivered on schedule .
2. Future orders will be handled more professionally, keeping customers in the loop at all times and serving fifo order system.
Otherwise I'll be more reserved when ordering from them again. It was a painful 7-8 weeks for us! :banghead:

Many are still waiting for restock
Hi guys, looks like it might just about be ready!
Just in case you didn't know, after the first batch of Nexus 4s went missing I created the "Where's my Nexus 4 - Register your Complaint" site to get Google's attention, it appeared to work and opened up a dialogue with us.
We promised we would track their progress and now mkII of the site is up and running. It has nothing to do with Google, but should allow us to track the new orders, and provide a unified voice if there are problems.
If you manage to place an order for a new Nexus 4 device, please think about signing up - www.axiopo.com
If you have any questions, get in touch through the site.
Thanks

Taiwan
I take any opportunity like this where there may be direct Google consumer feedback to request they resume paid apps in the Play store in Taiwan. The government, doing it's job to protect consumers, requires a 7 day return policy for all goods purchased in Taiwan. This means software too. When this policy was enforced well over a year ago, Apple changed it's policy quickly to allow the mandated 7 day refunds. Google has not restored paid apps here. If Apple was able to do it I see no reason why Google can't. Whenever I need to install a paid app I contact the dev and highlight this to them, they are usually unaware of this,a dn of course unhappy, and say they send feedback to Google about this. Some have mentioned the 7 day policy may allow users of some games to play the game to completion, delete/"return" it, and get a refund. For those inclined to cheat this is of course safer and easier than installing cracked .apk's, but it may not be higher or lower here than anywhere else. I don't know how the payment system works, so I don't know if there is penalty to devs for "returns", but I'm betting that the impact on a dev for returns would be somewhere between barely noticeable and non-existent. However, what is unquestionably a measurable cost to devs is the loss of revenue from not allowing 24,000,000 users in an affluent, and extremely wired country (home notably to Asus, Acer, and HTC) to not buy apps at all! Of course this also means we can't buy Nexus devices as well. If possible, could this serious grievance please also be addressed in your petition?
I agree with everything here. Mine came alot sooner than planned but I consider myself lucky I was even able to get in line for one. The whole thing was just a big mess and its ridiculous that they've been sold out for 2 months.
Also they need to be more readily available in general. Sell them unlocked in retail stores. Sell them on contract for every carrier. Everyone should have the opportunity to own a real google phone imo

It was a mess, and a response and apology from Google is needed.
POS Software - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kroid.restaurant.pos_cloud
Hi! I am Brenan, web marketing personnel of a certain IT company. We have this POS software that runs on Android. A POS or Point of Sale system is basically used in stores or shops to automate ordering and payments. It also useful for business owners to take full control of their business and follow profit reports. We are little bit proud of the final product that we have though we are still planning to make changes from time to time. The app is now ready to download on Google Play for free, look for Kroid Cloud POS. You can check it out for us, please. In connection to this, we would like to solicit suggestions on what would be the best way to integrate Analytics for the app. One of our developer tried using Google Analytics but I believed she encountered some errors. Should we really use Google Analytics? What would be the benefit to use Google Analytics in our app? Sorry for these questions but we want to gather as much information that we need, especially thought from great minds in this forum. We would be very happy to listen from you. You can also suggest any positive or negative feedback with regards to our app's functionality and interface if you have time to test it. Thank you so much.
I want also to make this thread as a comment/suggestion/feedback thread for us to improve this POS Software to the needs of our target clients.

Hey Guys (& Gals!),
We have an exciting new project that we're getting set to release within the next couple of months, and we're looking for feedback (good and bad of course!).
This is the first mobile game product our company has worked on - it's a cross platform (Android & iOS) Bartending Simulator. Here's a short description:
Get ready for the most realistic Bartending Simulator ever created. In fact, this may be the most interactive simulation ever created for any game genre! Three years in the making, we've tirelessly worked to ensure that every step in the drink making process has been represented. In fact, we're certain that once you've mastered BarSim, you can easily take the same skills to the real world. It doesn't matter if you've never poured a drink in your life, or you're already a veteran bartender, this game will challenge your skills and be a whole lot of fun.
We'd really like to get some solid feedback from users like you guys before we launch. You can access the open Beta on the Play Store directly at https://play.google.com/apps/testing/air.com.killermobile.barsim.bartender.game
We'd also like to offer the first 50 of you that offer any useful feedback a free license of our Total Recall Call Recorder app as a thank you. I'll post on this thread once we're up to the 50 free license limit. Here's how the free license offer will work:
1) Install the Beta version of BarSim from the link above.
2) Post here your experience, suggestions, ideas, issues, frustrations, etc - we want to hear it all!
3) Private message me the IMEI of the device you'd like to license Total Recall on
4) Keep enjoying BarSim & Total Recall and keep the feedback coming
I'm confident you'll enjoy our new game. It certainly has a learning curve as I refused to dumb down the process for the sake of simplicity. My goal was to release a true Bartending Simulation, one that mirrors real world bartending & drink making as closely as possible, and I believe we've done just that (I should know, as I spent 5 years bartending & a few more years training bartenders!)/
Look forward to hearing from you all.
Cheers!
