Yep. Word just got around today that FB's feeling alienated and there aren't any other balls in the court. Evan's too arrogant to accept a lower offer.

Worst part is that everyone's feeling awkwardly trapped. I even feel bad complaining - damn golden handcuffs.

Sorry. I hope things work out somehow for you later.

Yeah, delete your account @ now... just some friendly advice.

Apple creates an integrated snapchat. Removes snapchat from the apple store. It's not like they havent done that to other popular apps that they have the ability to replicate (google maps)

Except Google Maps is still on the App Store.

For example, Apple has banned comics from being sold through Comixology that they themselves sell in their store.

My point still stands that Apple initially removed it when they released Apple Maps. Since messaging is part of Apple's core experience, it's very likely that they'll eventually update their iMessage app.

Snapchat is not unique. In fact, there are far bigger and more popular messaging apps around the world. They just dont get the attention that SnapChat does because it happens to be in California and in the US. http://thenextweb.com/apps/2013/10/18/best-mobile-messaging-...

Your point is totally false. Apple never removed Google Maps from the App Store.

Apple changed an Apple app to use Apple data instead of Google Data, there was no removal of a Google app because there was no Google app to remove.

orleton what up
