Apple vs Google, which will rule the world?
| Google. Apple's too premium for that. It'll just rule the upper class.
| No one. Internet will stay neutral.
| Never underestimate the power of hardware manufacturers!
Apple "just" holds patents and licences and does some restrictive design and marketing to bind customers. Google, or better "Alphabet" actually is biased here, as they spent much in open source (but seldom free) software. On the other hand they provide closed plattforms with proprietary software and standards, "derived" from open ones. (+ the military research issue)
Btw. u forgot to mention Facebook, Amazon and Microsoft.
| >>291672 yep i was thinking about MS too.. over that i don't like it now, they have potential to make biggest platform. They can make hard-builded social network in windows or somealike xd
| Google of course i can say it has already won.I dont know if Apple gonna do spmthing in the future but google rules most of the platforms.
| Google has hands on payments (android pay, among other), corporate information, handling information, communication... there aren't much things these days that Google does not have in their offer or cannot directly influence (healthcare and military, but what else?).
| OP here, any more devil's advocacy for Apple?
>>291672
Yes, woulda included those but "Apple vs Google vs Microsoft vs Amazon vs Facebook" is a bit cumbersome
| >>292138
It acutally is:
Apple vs Google vs Microsoft vs Amazon vs Facebook vs ebay/paypal vs Netflix
But the true horror begins when they start joining their businesses. I doubt anti-cartel bureaus stand a chance against it, as any kind of regulation is blamed as an evil act of socialism/communism.
| Linux, just look at /tech/ jerking to it everyday
| Google already has the world population by the balls in many ways.
As of >>292229 it is probably a dumb trying to appear ironic.
| >>292385 yeah, the mainstream is jerking apple, so we need this small corner to jerk linux balance it out. What? No, we are still better than them, because we are not jerking the mainstream.
| Google I'd say. Its parent company Alphabet has invested a lot in beyond what we think Google is, a search engine. Theyre invested in many other areas of tech compared to Apple which is mostly a hardware company.
| Protegent will.
Your security is his motto.
| Wait this was predicted by the Simpsons
| >>292868
Well, I would be glad if linux was more mainstream. It would ease my life much more. Now I have to deal with Apple and Windows users that don't know anything about systems I am not interested in.
Me: "And now please download the file from the link with your browser and open the folder where you downloaded it with your filemanager!"
Them: "??? What do you want? Blabla, explorer,Blabla WinZip, Blabla no permissions, Blabla safari"
Me: *repeating what I said*
Them: "???"
| I hate apple but probably them. They make more money
