As an example the facebook iphone app is widely regarded amongst my friends as better that the web version, it's stripped down, refined, comes attached to a camera, and most importantly is in my pocket.
I have the facebook app, I carry it in my pocket. So where the hell is my camera that it comes attached to?
What are you talking about? Chrome is already outranking Safari despite being, what, a decade younger?
Comparatively, Google as a company has a far better track record overall than Apple. Apple nearly went under. Google has control over the best of the world's marketing. It could remove apple.com from search rankings and lose them millions if it felt like it (ie made up a feasible excuse). Google has incredible power. Apple has a tiny share of an unstable market.
The post you quoted was somewhat ridiculous, but then again so is yours. Chrome is based on Webkit just as Safari is. In fact Webkit was originally created by Apple for Safari before it was open sourced. Without Safari, Chrome as we know it today wouldn't exist. Chrome is an excellent browser and so is Safari, both have adoption rates that are far too low.
In case you weren't aware, Google makes its money on selling advertising. Removing apple.com would be detrimental to their bottom line too. Apple could remove google search from the safari web browser and replace it with yahoo or bing and google would lose a ton of money too (remember the iphone uses a version of safari), but why would they? I don't know why you talk about Apples track record then bring up an event that occurred before google even existed, how is that all relevant now? The overall value of both companies is very similar right now, with google having a slight edge. Additionally, what unstable market are you referring to? The one that produced record quarter after record quarter in the midst of a recession?
I will admit that in terms of world reach, Googles is far greater. They have their fingers in everything. If I represented a small country, I would attempt to hire them for intelligence services (they even have spy satellites).

I thought Webkit was originally based on the KHTML software library?
Sketch-up is pretty good. Have you tried hot mail for a point of comparison?
I've tried it but I've got to get used to it. Hotmail ..shudder. I'm never going to back to that crap

I want to use my Google Voice more. Ever since I read about RingCentral (a paid product that does the same thing) I've wanted to incorporate a single number into my life. I'll get there soon enough.
Yeah, because Safari was so successful in the web browser business. The last thing the world needs is another unused ask.com
Your whole post is ridiculous in so many ways...possibly a new world record.

Actually, this sounds like Google is tearing a page out of Baidu's playbook. Baidu hosts deep links to "free" and cheap MP3 downloads and gets paid for them. They rotate their links regularly to avoid getting caught, but this is what they've been doing to achieve their dominance in the Chinese market. I did a little research on Baidu as a precursor to buying their stock, then came away shaking my head at the house of cards they've built. I think if Google does something similar, but legally, they will probably be able to crack the code and get better play in China.
Anyway consumers get something with Apple beside function, reliability we really get class! iMac looks so artistic and beautiful. Owning one really like owning a piece of art. Something we really can't get out of an ugly Dell or HP. I think the majority has spoken we really want the good s***!
Yippie, another Apple fanboy arguing form over function. Personally, I'd rather have a really ugly upgradeable computer (PC or Mac) than a computer-turned-appliance iMac (and I'm an iMac owner - never again).
The majority has spoken? 10% market share is the majority? I hope your job doesn't involve knowing basic math.
Funny how everyone here loved Google when they were in bed with Apple. Now that the love affair is over, everyone argues that Google is complete sh&t. Please get your stories straight.

Personally I'm a fan of innovation full stop. It's also what I do, I invent stuff, and I have had my concepts ripped off in the past, and it's not nice.
So if I see company A ripping off company B it gets on my nerves. And thats all there is to it.
That was walmart, a cruddy food store, they never had a hope in competing, this is google, slightly more qualified.
If they release something like Spotify, itunes could be in trouble, I think it's a better model, all my friends have dumped iTunes in favor of Spotify, including myself, and it's growing at a ridiculous rate.
So how does one get a beta invite to Spotify if one doesn't know a geek who has an account?

Decade? 7 years.

It was a fork and later all that original fork was purged.
KDE is rolling in WebKit but keeping it separate from KParts--Konqueror gives one the option to opt in to use WebKit over KHTML/KJS.

you said the app had a camera attached
Eric was on the board a bit too long in my opinion.
I think Apple should enter the search engine business.
Apple doesn't need to get into search business. Actually, get into search could kill Apple.

Yeah, again, I was in a jovial mood yesterday, was not really a serious suggestion, but I'm interested in why you feel it would kill apple?
Broken up by government you mean?
