Should I reply or should I not ?

I don't usually reply when someone is so far from the truth, but I notice a reference to Orwell. Don't think that you can avoid it if you don't understand what is going on. You'll walk right into your Orwellian future thinking it is a good thing, as you do here.

Android may be an open-source OS, but phones that have it are locked-in to it and require jailbreak for you to run anything else.

As for cloud, it is power grab, like so many others that have happened lately. All you will have in your hand is a small, weak, terminal which will interface with Big Brother's server. And if Big Brother deems you worthy, only then will you be able to do anything.

Probably a waste of words.
