Title: Do you think that Apple will take over the world?
Post by: parserp on September 23, 2011, 08:44:26 pm
Just wondering If anyone thought if Apple is going to take over the world soon. I certainly do.

What if Apple and Google combined and created a company that took over the economy and the web together?
We would have to rely on the Chinese to save us.

No. Why would Google and Apple ally with each other? The "Android vs. iPhone" thing is kinda intense :P lol

Look. If anybody is going to take over the world, it's Google.
Google has too much power. They can track your history without you even logging in or even using Google at all! They could use this information to blackmail you if they wanted. Google can see your house from space. Having sex on the beach? Google can let that stay on Google maps until you sue them, and the pictures will stay on the internet forever. Google is almost literally taking over the internet! Just think of poor facebook vs. big bad Google+. Google could probably censor this damn post if they saw it fit and I couldn't do jack shit about it. Whoever controls the internet and Billions of dollars in the markets, and the ads on the internet, and countless websites, and all that google controls, controls the world. If Google wants World Domination, there is not much stopping them.

Google might actually make good masters for us. *NOT* Everything would be nice and cluttered, and everything we did would be monitored and noted in their massive Google Slaves database. All of the past stock holders would become rich and powerful as kings and we would be stuck being peasants with a short leash.

And Google would erase all of the news stories and shut down papers that didn't comply in taking down the stories, and then kill all the employees.

I hate apple for 5 reasons:

1. their prices

2. their prices

3. their hardware

4. their prices

5. their hardware

And yes, I think the'll take over the whole world. Probably by saying that we violate their precious copyright every day when we say: "I have an apple for lunch."

Lol. They won't do that, will they ? D:

I think Apple can be compared to TI in a lot of ways. Apple created the iphone (note that I don't put any caps) and it was copied. But the iphone is blocked in many ways.
TI "created" calcs and Casio copied, let's say, even if not very true. But TI blocks a lot of things, too. I don't even know why. Their purpose is not to sell, or to please ? because Apple doesn't please me and did not sell me anything.

Here is what one of my teacher said:
"Before, products were created to answer to a need.
Now, they (read: Apple) want to create the need so you buy".

The thing about macs is that every month or two they pull out the name of another big cat out of a hat and then make a 30 dollar upgrade named after that cat. The upgrade doesn't change anything at all, but it makes all of your programs obsolete unless you buy it. They are simply evil. But so are Google and Facebook. Don't even get me started on Wal Mart and McDonalds, though.

I feel Google has more chances so far. Apple will have to monopolize the computer OS market for that to happen I think.

And yeah TI didn't make the first graphing calc, it's Casio that did, as Flyingfisch said. Plus Casio made the first color calc 15 years before TI did.

Yeah, I know there is an error in my sentence but I had translation problems. I meant something like "TI owned the marketplace before". But I am not even sure about that. At least it is true in France.

No, their hardware isn't that good at all. For me, and for most people, shiny aluminum does not equal high quality - what is in the inside matters. Take the iPhone: Apple is one company and can't afford to release a new phone every month. But, there are many companies making Android phones, so they can adopt new technologies much faster. Take the HTC Sensation - unibody aluminum construction, two cameras, and a dual core processor. It blows the iPhone 4 out of the water. As for computers, Macs really SUCK. Try this mac  (http://store.apple.com/us_smb_78313/configure/MC560LL/A?select=select&product=MC560LL%2FA&mco=MTg2OTUwMjQ) versus  this custom pc (http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/overclock-cpu-sli-ssd,3031.html). One graphics card versus two superior ones? Nehalem versus Sandy Bridge? Apple gets destroyed in the computer segment. As for the iPad 2, I have nothing against that, because it has roughly the same specs as an Android tablet (although quad core Androids are to come out soon) and there are many more apps for the iPad.
