A Land of Contradictions




Ok, this might not be the best week for me to express my opinions because I am actually 100% impartial to the Apple vs Google war. My phone is an old 3315 Nokia (I like to say ‘vintage,’ it makes me seem cooler), and I have owned both a PC and a Mac laptop in my time, with no undying preference for one over the other (apart from the Mac’s battery power!).

I can see the pros and cons of each, and in order to create some kind of argument, I have decided to evaluate my technological usage of the two companies.

My chosen Internet server is Apple Safari, but my preferred search engine is Google. I am currently blogging via Google's Blogger, however I am accessing it on my Mac. I use Picasa to upload and edit pictures, but I usually take the pictures off my friend’s iPhone.

In this land of contradictions, the only conclusion I can come to is that they are both relatively evil corporations who make their technology become obsolete too quickly. I guess in the end each individual will chose what’s right for them!

Here’s an interesting graphic produced by GigaOM that shows Apple and Google squaring off in different areas.
