   I wouldn't use an operating system that has ads unless it was more free   
   than the operating systems that I currently use (which are all free).   
      
   Hell, even my phone was free (although I did have to pay the tax on it).

   If I'm your resident Google hater, you misunderstand me - but you didn't   
   say which Google hater you were referring to.   
      
   I don't hate any company - I don't even care about them - what bothers me   
   is when people are stupid and they _believe_ the bullshit a company spouts.   
      
   Hell... I have a GMail account, for example, even as I wouldn't stoop so   
   low as to use 2FV/2SV (which you seem to think are two different things).   
      
   I helped the developers of the free MUAs set up the authorization that TB   
   used on Windows for years to avoid having to set up 2SV/2FV for accounts.   
      
   And, get this... I use Google Voice on the iPad.   
   Yup. You know why I do NOT use Google Voice on Android?   
      
   a. On Android, Google Voice _creates_ an account!   
   b. On iOS, Google Voice can't.   
      
   Like you, I use the operating system that serves the functionality I want.
