Google Account Creation includes Gmail and Google+

If you try to create a Google account from Google's homepage, you'll notice that Google redesigned the page, but that's not all. You'll now have to create a Gmail account, a Google Profile and you'll automatically join Google+.

New Google Accounts Require Gmail and Google+ (via Google Operating System)

I don't have an issue with these changes at Google. I already use so many Google services — Gmail, Docs, Calendar, Analytics, Photos (formerly Picasa) Google+ etc — that it only makes sense that my Google+ and my other Google account are integrated. I'm more engaged on that platform than anywhere else.  I love that Gmail now includes circles; a natural extension of Gmail filters.  I want to give priority to responding to email from my family. One click on the Family circle and I can focus on doing just that.

Author is not a standalone piece of software. It’s part of a publishing strategy.

Look at the Author EULA in the light of a publisher’s agreement.

 

It’s pretty generous. This is a tool that Apple gives you for producing books to sell through Apple. Perhaps they’ll change that in the future but that’s the agreement for now.

 

In addition, if you want to give your book away you can use Apple’s tools to produce a book that you distribute any way you want. I don’t have those rights when I write for any other publisher.

It's great to read the opinion of a published author.
