    An example of something similar to iMessage is Google Voice, which, let's be very clear, does NOT require us to do what Apple's iMessage requires of us.

    Why is that?

    If you ask any adult question of an iKook, expect a child-like response.

    WTF? I have had an Apple phone for about 5 years now and have NEVER been asked to logon for iMessage send or receive.
