		<description>Would have been great to get Google&#039;s side of the story. Seems a bit far fetched to me. Illegal ads...should be illegal. Tom Tom and others also put radars on their GPS so I fail to see the point for this business model.</description>

		<description>Google was supposed to have a policy of &quot;do no evil&quot; As they get bigger and the only way to achieve growth is to &quot;do evil&quot;, they seem to be tempted. Comments elsewhere that suggest they (monopolies) don&#039;t need regulators are I believe quite wrong, because in this case Google potentially putting a competitor out of business doesn&#039;t affect the majority of it&#039;s customers and so is unlikely to lose then much revenue, yet the behaviour must be stopped lest there be no competition.</description>

		<description>&quot;Using of a French-based iTunes account prevents a customer from buying books in English on the US eBooks store, this without offering any legal reason for the prohibition.&quot; &lt;-- not Apple&#039;s fault.  Publishers have geographic rights for books based on contracts.  I was DRMed years ago with a print book before the Net existed.  The American arm of the British publisher would not sell me a book because they did not have the print rights for North America.  All this being said about arrogance, I will remind you that one of the hugely popular programs in France comes from America: HOUSE, M.D.  And the title character is the most arrogant SOB around.  Your larger point stands, however, and the blithe assumptions of the American tech industry will come to haunt them in the years ahead.</description>

		<description>I found the write up in line with my experience and research. I was taken aback by the slap at Exalead, a company with interesting technology. The references to Apple and other US firms were germane. American methods have come under criticism because for some problems, the &quot;solution&quot; makes matters worse. An inability to look for better methods may be worse than arrogance in today&#039;s business and cultural climates.</description>

		<description>well, apple have in the past been bothersome enough to sell computer that either came with a 110v PSU or a 240v psu, but not a switchable one like one would fine on just about every other computer on the planet.

and there is the issue of apple going with exclusive contracts on iphone until they got forced into opening up by various national governments. And the same is seen with how google handles the android market. Its only available in a select number of nations, iirc. Heck, the nexus one was a failure not so much from it being sold online, but from it being unavailable globally from day one. These exclusive contracts and such are how the US mobile market operates, not the world market. Yet US companies keep bringing the way of doing things that they are used to everywhere.

Even tech news have this issue, where a US based writer will write as if the US situation is the world situation. As such, nokia is a failed brand in their view, while apple and google is the big names now (heck, i would claim nokia was selling blackberry style phones for years before US tech press started going gaga over those keyboard phones). Yet when one look at mobile browser share worldwide, opera is on top, with nokia right behind. This thanks to large african an asian market shares (opera is probably helped along by their opera mini proxy browser that enables any j2me phone to browse). This makes it very ironic that we now see big sites have special urls going to their mobile sites start with i for iphone rather then m for mobile (or something similar. Sadly there is no real agreement, and some pages rely on browser detection rather then a special url). This because the site have HQ in USA and apple iphone happens to be big there (and to a lesser degree in europe).</description>

		<description>This was a very interesting article about Google until you started painting with too broad a brush and included Apple, who are the very antithesis of Google and Microsoft. iBooks is segregated by country because the publishing industry is segregated by country. Many books have different publishers in each country. Apple can&#039;t fix these things overnight. Wherever possible, Apple makes only one product for the whole world. There is only one iPhone, only one Mac OS X disc.</description>

		<description>I think it&#039;s more of a licensing issue in regards to Apple. It is the same reason I can&#039;t buy French movies or TV with my US based account. Is the media chain FNAC arrogant because they don&#039;t allow me to buy video on demand movies from outside of France?

This argument doesn&#039;t have legs.</description>

		<description>The lack of logic in this post is quite astonishing. If American companies like Google suffer from vision impairment, and this leads to behavior that turns off customers and partners, why do you need regulators to play the role of daddy? As you note, such behavior will ultimately damage revenues anyway, and that will provide local competition with a greater opening to take business away.

You can&#039;t have it both ways. If you think that American companies view French consumers as an aggregation of second-class people, then it follows that Google won&#039;t be able to hold on to its 90% market share. Of course, you could be wrong (gasp) and Google&#039;s 90% market share might just be signalling that Google does search better than anyone else in France.

Finally, if you really want to talk about the &quot;poison of arrogance&quot;, perhaps you should write about French 20-somethings protesting the fact that they won&#039;t get their government pensions until they&#039;re 62. Or the Greeks who are upset that investors are no longer willing to subsidize a country that spends more than it produces and in which the government employs over 30% of the population. Or a continent filled with &quot;social democracies&quot; watching in shock as their welfare states crumble.</description>

		<description>Isn&#039;t it the case that Apple doesn&#039;t sell US books (ie books in English) in France because of publishing rights and not because of Apple per se? I&#039;m guessing that there isn&#039;t enough demonstrated demand in France for e-books in English to warrant US publishers to make the relevant arrangements. Out of curiousity does Amazon Fr. sell e-books in English?</description>
