When Microsoft is the least evil of the three, I think the game is pretty much lost, or at least it feels that way.

Remember Google+? "This is the future", they said. Now it's deleted. Over and over for so many new products. What a huge waste of time.
As a consumer, Google has become an obviously poor investment of my time.
Not sure what I'll do if/when they shutter GVoice, probably try to cobble something similar for myself with Twilio, or at least that's my near term plan, only hoping one can create a dialer app for Android that does the same kinds of things.
I'd love to have more hope, but I'm observing the same mistakes playing out over and over. If this were a human relationship, I'd respectfully choose to go out separate ways. Unfortunately not a realistic option at this point, the Tech Titans have sunk their teeth into nearly everything on the net and acquired or suffocated the smalls.
I guess once your company culture allows you to U-turn so hard on something you’ve been pushing so much, as Google was Google+, U-turning on anything else becomes super easy.
I’ve used iPhones and Android Phones for so long I can confidently say I have only three complaints:
Lack of windows support OR gaming support on mac
Apple Maps using yelp is fucking stupid
Not letting all apps use safari extensions
If they could fix those three things, I would literally instantly go out and spend 3000+ dollars on a new top spec MacBook Pro and IPad Pro.
