Well glad I asked -- HN always has good takes from people who are actually in the room. > But you're underestimating the beast that Google is. When I think of how Google exerts it's power on the consumer I can think of these things: - Search - GMail (the on-ramp to GSuite) - Chrome - Android These are all powerhouses, but they're not unassailable. In fact I think Apple's moat is more defensible than Google's -- lots of companies have tried and failed. I'd love to hear why I'm wrong though, I've never worked at big G or worked in ads or some other sector they Google is dominant. Google is making some great inroads with Chromebooks (and essentially trying to get the next generation), but... Just about everything Google does I'd rather trust Apple with, and all that we're waiting for is them to give me the chance.
