Counteracting the Thermonuclear War!


Counteracting the Thermonuclear War!


 In the official Biography of Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson, Chapter 39, "New Battles And Echoes of Old Ones" the following quote is interesting while trying to understand the "battle" of Apple V/S Google.

Quote:

Our lawsuit is saying, “Google, you fucking ripped off the iPhone, wholesale ripped us off.” Grand theft. I will spend my last dying breath if I need to, and I will spend every penny of Apple’s $40 billion in the bank, to right this wrong. I’m going to destroy Android, because it’s a stolen product. I’m willing to go to thermonuclear war on this. They are scared to death, because they know they are guilty. Outside of Search, Google’s products—Android, Google Docs—are shit.

End of Quote

Apple is still fighting today even after Jobs, but there's still lots of money remaining in the $40 Billion pool. The "thermonuclear" war hasn't and will probably not take place be it because of SJ is not here or because of other strategic reasons. There'll be more small fights instead of a big war. It'a a Goliath V/S Goliath battle.

In the mean time, Google is conquering the iOS with lots of Apps. My latest count is 22 iOS apps developed by Google Inc. With the exception of Google Maps, there are plenty of other apps developed by the enemy, lurking around in the iTunes Apps Store. It's a clear strategy. Google wants to take control of your iPhone.

These are the iOS apps developed by Goooliath, i mean Google:























Android is shit, for sure, as it's a stolen product, but other products of Google are worth a try except Orkut which is shit as well!

Imagine having all these apps installed on your iPhone, they can take up more than one page considering that one page on the iphone 4/4S can gather up to 16 apps. It may happen that you forget that you are using an Apple product. It's rare to have Google addicts fan of Apple. If you know one send me his name/email address/phone number because it's kinda rare.

While waiting for Google Maps to enter the Apps Store, lets see how the war proceeds on.
