| Nov 4, 2014 at 7:13 | comment | added | tubedogg | [continued] On privacy, iOS is quickly becoming the anti-Android, with the assumption being that Google is tracking everything you do while Apple introduces features that prevent tracking, or even your device being able to be opened by law enforcement. | |
| Nov 4, 2014 at 7:12 | comment | added | tubedogg | @Buscar웃 I am not sure which lines I am supposed to be reading between to discover that Apple's motive in this change was financial, considering that the article does not speculate on Apple's reasons for choosing Bing. I have also already said that your statement is likely correct. There are two other possible reasons for Apple's choice - one is to preserve user privacy (Google likely would not be desperate enough to agree without receiving a lot of the information Apple states is now discarded). The other is simply to continue to distance themselves from Google. [continued] | |

| Nov 4, 2014 at 5:31 | comment | added | tubedogg | We all make statements here without citing sources that are indeed facts - clicking the Apple menu then clicking App Store launches the Mac App Store. It's a fact, and it doesn't become my opinion just because I didn't cite a source. I don't need to read anything about Apple or Google or Bing to know that your statement is likely correct. I wasn't arguing the probability of it being accurate, simply stating that it seemed like you were presenting it as absolute fact. | |
| Nov 4, 2014 at 5:30 | comment | added | tubedogg | @Buscar웃 To me, a statement like "Apple has decided to go with Microsoft Bing for purely financial reasons" sounds like you are presenting fact, even though you did not cite a source. Saying "It seems like Apple has decided..." or "Apple appears to have decided..." or "In my opinion, Apple has decided..." makes it clear that it is opinion, whether informed or otherwise. I did not state that you said you represent Apple, but to a user reading the site, it could appear that you (someone with high reputation here) have knowledge of the situation that you state you do not actually have. | |
| Nov 4, 2014 at 3:39 | comment | added | Ruskes | @tubedogg As far I know anything I say here is in "my opinion" unless i quote the source. I do not officially represent Apple and have not claimed to do so. Please read the press to get your self up to speed on the Internet Browsers business and competition. As for why would Apple drop the world biggest search engine, feel free to take a guess? a hint..it is not technical. | |

tubedogg, It might me good to add in my opinion, however, it is also OK to let the people figure out that it is opinion, not fact. It's not that hard to do, and adding "In my opinion" just adds a "politically correct" side to it.

| Oct 20, 2014 at 4:35 | comment | added | tubedogg | Buscar, Apple's reasons for using Bing over Google may be financial, but I would suggest you add "in my opinion" before making accusations. Neither of us work at Apple and therefore neither of us know for sure what Apple's motivations for the switch were. | |

| Oct 19, 2014 at 0:16 | comment | added | Ruskes | Web Search engines is a very big business. The Google is all about that, and how they made the big buck. Apple has decided to go with Microsoft Bing for purely financial reasons, and they did not make it easy for users to change it. | |
