YouTube finally forces creation of google+ A/C to comment

I've never given google my real name. And because of that, I'm not affected by that part. But yes, I can see how it would be annoying. I remember when they had their 'real name' kick being concerned about that (and YT still asks me to link them... but I don't).

If you own an Android you don't have to have given your name in the sense that you do when signing up for gmail or other service ... they have it and will use it

I don't have an Android device... but haven't you actually given it during setup? I mean- it has to get it from somewhere. So either your cellular provider is giving it to them (bad) or you did it during setup.

Yes I have. I meant you can't escape giving your real name if you own Android.

Ah... I guess any thoughts I had of switching have now gone out the window. Makes me feel better.
