"Happy Sitting at the Kid's Table?
I'm not.
I'm not happy at all sitting at the kid's table. But that's where I am.
And if you are a Linux user, you are too. Bet you didn't know that didja?
Neither did I. Until two weeks ago.
That's how long it's taken me to decide whether I'm going to even talk
about this in public. I decided that it's probably something you knew
in your gut anyway.
Yeah many of you did.
I made a good friend at Google three years ago. We became friends
when I was offered an interview for a job there. Fact is...I would have
been this new friend's replacement. He would have trained me in, if I
was hired on.
In that I turned the offer down due to the commitment I now have
really wasn't a surprise to many. Friend was able to find work with
Google in another city where his wife was being transferred so it all
worked out in the end.
And I gained an extremely good friend. He'll be reading this as soon
as it's published. I am sure he suspected it would be a topic for
discussion.
Two weeks ago, Friend was in Texas and He drove down to see me. We
knocked back a few beers on some small patio bar in Round Rock. When
the subject turned to work, I knew Friend was in a position to answer a
question for me. It's probably something you knew in your gut anyway.
Yeah you did.
I asked him the question:
"Why does Google refuse to reference that Android or Chromebooks are
Linux-based?"
He took a pull on his Shiner Bock and did something I didn't really
expect.
He answered me. And I'm not going to use quotes because I didn't
write it down but this is awful close:
Because Linux Users can't be trusted to behave if they are taken out
into public.
He went on to explain that the powers that be (of which he is not one
but within that circle) simply don't want anything getting in the way of
Google's march to their phone, tablet and computer market supremacy.
Their Chromebook slayed the numbers this Christmas season and many
within the marketing effort at Google believe NOT associating their
brand with Linux may have helped tremendously.
Is Linux mentioned anywhere in the Android Marketing?
No.
Is Linux mentioned anywhere in Chromebook Marketing?
No.
From our public infighting, to our fragmentation in distro and desktop
wars, to our inability to even give decent application names to our
programs.....
We act like a bunch of children fighting over the drumstick at
Thanksgiving.
In other words.
Let the grownups take care of business, and be quiet....don't make us
stop this car.
And no, don't rage at me. I wrestled with this for a couple of weeks,
knowing it would piss some people off, but more importantly.....
It would validate what many of you already knew.
Many of the grownups just don't want to be seen in public with us.
Maybe not you, and I certainly hope not me, but still...
It is felt that Linux as a brand name is tainted, and for far more
reasons than I mentioned above, but those are pretty much the heavy hitters.
If it makes you feel better to yell at me in the comments, go ahead.
I've pretty much accepted that it would happen anyway.
And by doing so....you fairly well prove Google's point. See?
Sometimes, the grownups are right.

Too effin' funny!
Exactly what we've been telling you cola "advocates" for years: the
Linux "community" is a pack of petulant, ill-mannered children not
welcome in normal IT society.
Want some examples of their ridiculous childish behavior? Sure thing:
==============================================================================
The "community" of Linux freeloaders reacting when they find out they
won't be provided current versions of stuff they had been freeloading:
"Burn in hell
Fuckers
Idiots... you're clueless
i will never use your product again.
Fucking losers
Good riddance
traitors
songbird sucks"

Linux children reacting to problems with a Foxconn mobo:
"I spit on foxconn"
"I further believe that Microsoft is giving Foxconn incentives to
cripple their motherboards if you try to boot to a non-Windows OS."
"I am going to start harassing the phone operator at foxcomm "
"I say we boycott Foxconn!"
"If (MCTH (_OS, "l1nux"))
{
Then (8Uy v1574, 5creW joOr5elF)
}"
"New users, likely booting up Ubuntu will see how "unstable" it is, just
assume that Linux is crap, and run back to Windows over this problem
that Microsoft and Foxconn have in fact, concocted."
An adult at the Ubuntu forum had to step in and close the thread to keep
the Linux children in diapers from eating and slinging too much of their
own doo-doo. Then another adult had to step in and change the thread
title since the Linux children are liars.
