“Is it any wonder that Google hates Apple? Apple brought apps to the smartphone, even when co-founder Steve Jobs said web apps (JavaScript, HTML, CSS– like Dashboard Widgets) would work just fine,” Jeffrey Mincey writes for Bohemian Boomer. “Apps on mobile devices marginalize Google’s main source of revenue.”
“The iPhone’s iconic design surprised the Android engineers at Google. Google would still have ruled search on the web with Chrome for iPhone had Apple stuck to the script and allowed native apps only from Apple,” Mincey writes. “Instead, Steve Jobs caved in to pressure from his executive team, and a year later apps and the iTunes App Store appeared, and Google was very unhappy. Why? Apps negate the need for Google’s bread and butter search business.”
“Giving Android OS away to cell phone manufacturers was Google’s way of leveling the playing field. Years later, Google still struggles to make money on mobile devices while Apple takes home 75-percent of the industry’s profits,” Mincey writes. “Can you imagine how powerful Apple would be in mobile had Google not given away Android?”

There’s something distinctly chilling about the existence of privacy being debated, in extreme privacy, by people such as the executive chairman of Google, Eric Schmidt, and the board member of Facebook Peter Thiel: exactly the people who know how radically transparent the general public has become.
And to have them discussing it with the head of MI6 and with people such as the head of AXA, the insurance and investment conglomerate – Henri de Castries.
precisely, vampires abhor the light.

Awesome, just freakin’ awesome. Actually got me starting to tear up just hearing him speak those words.
Peter Pumpkinhead came to town
Spreading wisdom and cash around
Fed the starving and housed the poor
Showed the vatican what gold’s for
But he made too many enemies
Of the people who would keep us on our knees
Hooray for Peter Pumpkin
Who’ll pray for Peter Pumpkinhead?
Oh my!
Peter Pumpkinhead pulled them all
Emptied churches and shopping malls
Where he spoke, it would raise the roof
Peter Pumpkinhead told the truth
But he made too many enemies…
Peter Pumpkinhead put to shame
Governments who would slur his name
Plots and sex scandals failed outright
Peter merely said
Any kind of love is alright
But he made too many enemies…
Peter Pumpkinhead was too good.
Also in attendance is the CEO of LinkedIn. It appears regular Bilderberger Jeff Bezos isn’t attending this year, but he could be an unofficial attendee. Charlie Rose is also missing from the official list, and he’s been a regular for years.
But Bilderberg is not important, just a social gathering, so focus on who’s owning the LA Clippies. That’s what matters.
Think of it this way: Google wants to be a “friendlier, nicer M$”. From the colorful logos, and that robot mascot, it looks like they are nice and friendly. Until you look at how evil and despicable Google and their goons are. Look at Sony, an Android manufacturer. That evil, racist company sabotaged Michael Jackson’s 2001 album “Invincible”, because they didn’t have any faith in MJ’s new music. 5 years after His death, they release a “new” album called “Xscape”….to advertise their Android dumbphone Xperia. Yeah…totally NOT for the money. I hope Apple destroys Google, Sony, and any other dishonorable company that tries to hurt people instead of make their lives better.
Redmond won’t be getting their copiers ready on Monday morning but Mountain View will be firing up their Glassholes.
Outside of the case of Apple (Steve Jobs) being furious about the Android copy and subsequent in depth reproductions from the likes of Samsung, I don’t think companies like Apple and Google really “hate each other.”
Apple literally SHOVELS cash into Google’s coffers. The vast majority of computers at Google are Macs. Macs are the corporate standard.
Apple is an outstanding organization, and though it is not popular to say so here, so is Google. I personally would rather not live in a world that didn’t have both.
All waves move on.
Search was viewed as the magic stone by Google in the beginning, yet with all their Asian Phds, they didn’t see the possibility or likelihood of the rise of Apps and specifically localized Apps like Yelp.
So much for hiring geniuses.
I blame the “web everything” fanatics that run Google.
If you only know how to use an hammer, every problem looks like a nail.
Not so great when your problem is made of glass.
They hired perfect androids.
All Apple has to do to help finish the job are larger iPhones and an Apple Search service that breaks new territory. That’ll go a long way towards adding quicksand under Google’s foundation.
Regarding the Headline – and vice versa.
Ok, a little bit of trivia…Who said, “Apple, we hates it! Forever!”.
Golum from LOTR? No.
Goglum? No, but Close
Right answer is Eric Schmeg Head from Google-em.
“Let’s give everything away so that copycat manufacturers can take more out of American profit-making”
ah, you understand the bottom line of GATT, NAFTA and the WTO. Another round of thanks to Bill Clinton.
Here are some funny sci-fi stories where Google and Apple are in all out war to the death:
http://eveshungry.blogspot.com
Download the Duck-Duck-Go widget and install it on your Mac. Duck-Duck-Go will automatically become your default search application. It doesn’t track you and it returns the most relevant results for your searches, not results based on who paid the most to be included.
Bravo! I endorse this product. 😀
I finally got around to doing this instead of relying on Yahoo a few weeks ago. I couldn’t believe how good it feels to actually get the results I was searching for, rather than somebody trying to sell me something. I’m reminded of the days of the early intent and Lynx searches. I’m actually in control of my results!
A filler article. I’m not pleased with the conclusion that Apple doing things HELLA better than Google equates to the conclusion that Google ‘deeply hates’ Apple. That’s silly journalism. It’s equivalent to the now dead and rotting Apple Bear Bullshit of the last year and a half.
I’m not comfortable with Google’s business plan. Simple as that.
All of the mimicking — and outright theft — merely adds gasoline to the flames for me.
And it’s not that I’m against advertising. Hell, I own a weekly newspaper. I understand that nothing is free (nor should it be). But in the same way I have a distrust for the content of “free” non-subscription publications, I don’t think any company that offers “free” software but nets billions of dollars is probably doing right by their customers.
I make a living off of ads, but my newspaper doesn’t come equipped with a camera. It doesn’t know when or which articles you read, which photos interested you most and it does not pay attention to your personal conversations. Buy my paper or don’t buy it, critique it all you like, but either way it’s not creepy and it is the product, not you.
I leverage social media and blog sites for what they are — and “old school” as it may come to some I really think that as in everything else in life, when it comes to media you get what you pay for.
I certainly won’t be buying any products from Eric Thieving Shit.
I found this article via Zite the other day; it’s very enlightening:
http://appleinsider.com/articles/14/05/25/googles-current-stance-on-patents-with-android-would-have-prevented-google-from-ever-having-existed
I use Google earth from time to time. Use their search as a last resort. They excel at search. I did drill in to neutralize their default “personalized” search results. Cancelled my Gmail acct years ago.
I have google analytics blocked on all of my browsers.
So, those things and any correspondence with a gmailing friends are as far as google gets with me.
It will be interesting to see what Google will do when Apple does search. Will Google allow the Apple search app on their “open source” Android? Will Google provide an Apple sucks link at the top of every search? Will Google convince the Justice Department/Congress that Apple should be fined for xyz? Will Google pay tech writers and hire blog posters to trash Apple? Will the public finally wake up?
