I can see the flight attendants installing "FlightRadar24" on these iPhones to inform impatient passengers exactly where they are, at what height, and how much further they have to go!

Company without a known product will be the biggest competitor to a company that is not dominant and already has plenty of capable competitors.  When was the last time Munster said anything that even reflected recognisable reality, let alone be right?

Agree... when Munster and the like start with a "could", as in Apple could be the... I start to lose interest in their proffering. When pundits say "can" and "will" rather than "could" or "would" my attention span perks up for the information they may have to offer.

Last Tuesday an "Apple Maps Imagery Collection" car  - registered in Spain - with that mapping thing on its roof came down the unmade dead-end road to my hamlet in the middle of nowhere in central France, which could be a positive sign for visitors here if I will soon have the advantage of "Apple's international expansion"... I normally have to give friends and couriers a "What3words" clue to my location.

Back in the early '70s when working as a production designer for a major TV company in the UK a team of 'management trainee consultants' questioned various senior staff members on a variety of subjects. I remember a colleague being abruptly stopped in mid-flow having only spoken to about the same length as Pichai's quote above - and with the same number of "you know" nonsense words inserted - with a brusque... "No, we don't fucking know, that's why we're asking you!" I don't think any of us overhearing the exchange have unthinkingly used the words "you know" ever again in explanatory conversation!

As soon as I read "UK tabloid" in the opening line I knew this was going to refer to the "DailyMail"... or "Daily Fail" as many in the UK like to call it. It isn't the worst of the 'gutter press' titles in the UK which probably accounts for it being Britain's second biggest newspaper by readership.

However, as is no doubt correctly implied in it's Wikipedia entry, "The Daily Mail has been widely criticised for its unreliability, as well as printing of sensationalist and inaccurate scare stories of science and medical research, and for copyright violations."

Enough said!
