"Google’s keynote presentation at its I/O developer’s conference today offered a revealing picture of the company itself: meandering, unfocused, copycat and just a little bit evil."

Please do.
Knowledge = power. He who controls the knowledge has the power.
It's just inevitable. Resistance is futile.

Google will control the world. Totally inevitable. Apple is content making hardware.
Currently:
Controls search, or, more specifically, controls intimate data on everyone, everywhere
Ambitious - unlike others, Google isn't afraid to aim big, really big. Look at the acquisitions over the last year...Google is going to control robots, home automation, vehicular transport, fiber optics, space. Apple only bought things immediately relevant to their hardware, extremely conservative (Google paid more for Nest than apple has paid for all of its acquisitions, combined).
Money - they will just slowing consume the options the world has, from military to home to connectivity and information
Funny, I remember a video from years ago that predicted Google's takeover (can't find it now). Amazing how much has come true.

This would never happen, but if Apple somehow lost its billions then I wouldn't be against it. Why?
Good things about Google:
1. Their shit works. (as does Apples so both even there)
2. They make affordable hardware.
3. They allow a good amount of freedom on Android
4. Their education programs and facilities are amazingBad things about Apple
1. They live by the 'lightbulb conspiracy' rule
2. They charge ridiculous prices for hardware
3. IOS hates home-brew and requires jailbreak
4. Their store staff can be so fucking annoying

Then the word of the Lord came to Jonah the second time, saying, “Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and call out against it the message that I tell you.” So Jonah arose and went to Nineveh, according to the word of the Lord. Now Nineveh was an exceedingly great city, three days' journey in breadth. Jonah began to go into the city, going a day's journey. And he called out, “Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown!” And the people of Nineveh believed God. They called for a fast and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them to the least of them.
