Microsoft even celebrated the funeral, don't remember? a bunch of microsofties carrying a dead body all over the campus, it was in fact, the Zune.... Now Zune meets the Kin family....

Apple knows how to make this videos.... this is an excellent piece of short-documentary about the iPad. The boy with autism broke my heart, wow....

Sony was a smart company soooo long ago, now they are just a bunch of executives milking its brand, nothing more...

Of course, and while the antenna or proximity sensors may be giving a lot of bad press, the iPhone 4 still drive more traffic to any news and blog, because any good or bad press is still good press when it comes to Apple.

Apple has its own agenda and Google is not part of it, so whatever Google does it won't disturb Apple at all, Microsoft was even bigger than Google and Apple knocked it down, so it is about time, Google's Android can take 99% of the mobile market, Apple will find its way with innovation.. or do you think Smith is smarter than Jobs? I don't think so, Apple is just deploying its strategy, Google is shouting and screaming to create buzz, because all its earning comes from search, others projects are just a new way to burn some millions, like Microsoft.

I would like to see Apple dropping any major Google-powered app to see how Vic Gundotra's face and it will happen sooner or later, Apple has an arsennal of good applications ready to be deployed, Siri, Placebase and Lala and a few location based patents. Somebody at Google thought Apple was sleeping, this is not the Apple of yesteryears, Apple is out looking for blood and it will take whatever route to hurt its rivals, Engadget's news about the $99 AppleTV is a clear demonstration that Google is far from knowing Apple's strategy.

Vic = poor saleman, maybe he doesn't remember the last one that trashed Apple in public (Michael Dell), now Dell is a 1/10 of Apple. Fri, 28 May 2010 20:40:27 +0000 http://techcrunch.com/2010/05/28/google-latitude-iphone/#IDComment77546693 http://techcrunch.com/2010/05/28/new-apple-tv/#IDComment77533166 1) Well, the title of this post is totally wrong, AppleTV is a real product while the Google TV will be a product, until The GoogleTV reaches the customers it's vaporware and I don't see how can a company (Apple) will fight a product that hasn't been on the market, come on, there is a good chance that this product becomes a excellent one, but at the same time Google can provide the same Buzz experienc; 2) AppleTV has been a hobby project not because Apple doesn't know how to make money from it, the main reason for the AppleTV state is that it could cannibalize the iTunes store, if Apple adds DVR features there won't be any reason for itunes users to continue buying any new TV or Movie from the store; 3) While everyboyd points to Apple fighting Google, it's the other way around in most areas because Apple isn't launching a search business anytime soon; 4) adding the iPhone OS automagically turns the AppleTV into a gaming console and Nintendo and Sony will be hurt more than Google if you can download one and play everywhere and by everywhere I mean the iPad, the iPhone and the AppleTV. Want more?

I love Google as much as I love Apple, but Google is a lot more evil than the Draconian Dark Apple.

Free my grandmother! Apple is another type of Business and until know its ads are not following me in every website I visit. I applaud your Android, Droid and everything ended in oid, excellent, but don't come here trying to convince me that Android is the next Linux, it won't save us all.

I love Google, but it isn't far away from being the new Microsoft, but a lot bigger. That's the price you pay for using free stuff, if you don't understand it, just ask Facebook about how they will use your personal info...

Google has gadzillion of projects and Google TV is just another one, they need to leapfrog themselves, Buzz, Wave, Location all those projects overshadow the previous one, I don't see any real strategy here. But what is worse is how google will use the info collected from your tv viewing experience and then provide you live ads about your porno or Soapera favorite programs and if you mix that Google has your online info, your Wi-Fi, Mobile usage, Location with Android and now your tv habits. Sorry Google not place in my TV set.

It's a matter of time, Google TV is not new, just ask Microsoft about its WebTV... Thu, 20 May 2010 19:49:58 +0000 http://techcrunch.com/2010/05/20/apple-tv-google-tv/#IDComment76415040
