lol it's funny how upset you are about all these.

Maps != search

Google doesn't have a monopoly on quality data when it comes to search.

I wasn't just talking about Siri.

Apple can customize the UI and the search results on iOS devices if they want. Apple can take Google's search results (without Google's ads) or Bing/Yahoo, format it, add information from Yelp, Wikipedia, Facebook, Twitter, WolframAlpha, etc. Make this format the default "search results" and make it universally accessible from Siri, the browser, apps, and so on...

Siri, an app, a customized search box, etc. Apple changes the UI, Google's fucked. What is it you don't understand?

You are so missing the point it's hilarious.

I'll post a few articles and I'll let you figure things out.

"Google earns 80% of its mobile revenue from iOS, just 20% from Android"

"Despite Smaller Share iOS Devices Generate 67 Percent Of Mobile Internet Traffic"

"Two-Thirds of Google’s Mobile Search Traffic Comes From iOS Devices"

Perfect timing. saw this article 2 days ago:

"Android malware up 614%. Android Home to 92% of Mobile Market's Malware"

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/06/26/android_malware_bloo...

You're right. Google's going to be first to market by releasing crappy, half-baked beta products and Apple's going to "copy" them.
Google's going to manufacture smart watches and consoles?

Another wannabe-knee-jerk-lets-copy-Apple product from Google. Why am I not surprised.

the title is misleading then.

edit:

birth of reddit the idea started with pg, etc.

birth of reddit the company started with alexis, etc.

imo conception starts with the idea.

I thought pg gave you the idea to start reddit?

99% of what Google glass can do I can do on my smartphone WITHOUT THE HASSLE and WITHOUT making me look like a dork.

my phone also won't make me look like a dork. seriously, this is Google's number one hurdle to getting people to use this.

That's because the Canadian government employs 3.6 Million government employees out of 17 Million of your total labor force. WOW! talk about big government! That's almost 25% of your total labor force!

% of gov't employees in the US is only 15% of our labor force. Considering the size of our country, military, etc. that figure is small compared to Canada's labor force-gov't employee ratio.

NICE TRY ;)

I get it that you're proud of your universal healthcare system. I honestly wish we have one but the issue is COST. if you can think of a way to implement universal healthcare without bankrupting our country i want to hear it.

Elon Musk reminds me of Preston Tucker. Lots of similarities between Tesla Motors and Tucker Corp.

Yeah that's because we're not a bunch of socialists. :)

You HAVE to provide universal health care because there are NO jobs in your pathetic country.

Re:Walmart is hiring only temps at many stores on Thursday June 20, 2013 @10:33PM (#5916185)
>In other words, 62% of your revenue goes back to the taxpayers that provided that revenue.

Except that the middle class, rich and younger people are paying for majority of the taxes that are spent for entitlements. And you're asking them to pay for another unfunded mandate. Your socialist views have no place in America.

Australia have universal healthcare but your taxes are sky high, zero innovation, zero growth, no jobs, etc. horay for socialism. Give me one innovation that came out of australia? ZERO. (ok i love ac/dc but they dont count) :)

> The big problem is that Obamacare is nothing like a universal system or even the Canadian system, and it does not address the colossal spending costs.

Exactly

Re:Walmart is hiring only temps at many stores on Thursday June 20, 2013 @06:23PM (#5915325)
>It's simply a question of where you want your government to spend the tax dollars it collects. Currently, they spend it blowing things up while tens of millions of it's citizens are without basic healthcare.

62% of the US federal budget goes to entitlements (Medicare/Medicaid/Social Security). That's ONLY $2 Trillion. 18.7% goes to the defense spending. [1]

Implementing Obamacare will cost $4-$6 Trillion. WHERE DO YOU SUGGEST WE GET $4-6 TRILLION? Even if you cut 100% of the defense budget it won't be not enough to pay for Obamacare.

It DOES not "work in every other developed nation on the planet"

spain, greece, germany, france, cyprus and 99% of all socialist countries have declining economies, high unemployment rate, high taxes, ZERO innovation, etc. Hey but they have free health care! horay for socialism!
