Wired has obtained a copy of a cease and desist letter Google issued to Microsoft today, demanding Microsoft immediately remove the YouTube app from its Windows Phone Store and disable existing copies on consumers’ devices by May 22.

Google is turning into the old Microsoft will all kinds of dirty tricks up its sleeve, i dont want to support their products anymore if possible, and i have boycotted Youtube for years already. I still hold a grudge towards their action of deleting Miku songs and fanmade stuff under "copyright" claim,    and they screwed with many of my home made videos which had a little music inside (not even a full track). Unless my friend show my something, i havent voluntarily opened Youtube for as long as i can remember. I also abandoned my gmail and 2 android phones, using Yahoo and Outlook/hotmail. As for my android tab which is a gift from someone, i will get rid of it once windows 8 8 inch tabs become widely available.

Probably the only Google stuff im using now is their search engine, Blogger and the Chrome browser, nothing else. I will export my blog out to a different host once i have my own credit card; will host it on my own and purchase premium subscription.

Im a Maxis prepaid user; only on occasions i but 100MB data for RM2 (per day) when i need to use it. Somehow the constant search for signal is really eating into the battery...

Does that mean your data is off most of the time (2G only)? I'm trying to find a bag of tricks to prolong my battery life later I hate the fact that my old nokia can last a week if I don't use it for music and yet smartphones die every day.

aww crap...

Wow thanks kuroneko0509... weird that it is not in the specific thread.

daemmmm.....after reading your post i'm become more mad to maxis...
charge postpaid user 100mb for rm28/month         
   

Eh... how can you actually compare an old nokia that can last a week with smartphones of today? 

Want to get your L920 to last long? Easy, disable data, force 2G, off everything u do not use like bluetooth, wifi, NFC until u need to use it. Will easilly last you 2 to 3 days like that, but not a week. 
That is expected. MS responded already, so the ball is back in Google's side but I think they are not going to play nice.

Aya how wish Google supported Microsoft and Windows Phone ...now they are announcing stuff that we will never get

My NFC and Bluetooth is 24/7 on, makes not much difference to battery life. Even i switch it off maybe my battery life increase by 1 hour only. It's the data that is the problem.

Dammnit, I just start to fall in love with YouTube apps.

What is the alternative that provide stable as well as Download features?

For paid - Metrotube
Free - Tube Pro

Does Metrotube worth it?

Both Metrotube and Tube Pro have the Download function bro?

Yes both have Download funtion. Metrotube is worth it to me. You can always download & try, I think Metrotube have trial version. The last time I used Tube Pro it worked OK but since I bought Metrotube, I used that only. Until MS released the new Youtube app, have been using that instead now. 

Ahh yes I forgot, we can download the Trial first before purchase. Yes will personally try both before deciding to purchase or not MetroTube. Thanks bro for the info!

Another question, how will Microsoft remove the YouTube app? By deactivating the function automatically, or when user somehow updating the apps? Still can't grasp these whole concept of smartphone since I still stuck in Nokia N-series

No prob bro.

Microsoft was asked to do 2 things actually. 1st is remove the app from store which means no more users can download it, update it or reinstall it if you accidentally deleted it from your phone. 2nd thing asked was to deactivate the app that have been downloaded & installed on user phones. This is know as the 'kill switch', which means MS actually has the ability to disable an app you already downloaded & installed on your phone to keep you from using it. You can read more about this here --> Google to Microsoft: Remove your YouTube App from the Windows Phone Store

I'm very lazy to charge lah. Sometimes I forget and my phone dies in class. I need something that can last at least 1 day+
