The Google bashing at the end makes no sense. On the one hand he mentions that Google have copied things from Apple. On the other he claims Google seem to think they don't need to change anything. Which is it?
It's pretty clear to me that each new version of Android takes inspiration from iOS (and vice-versa, not to mention things they've both seen in WebOS). I think it's great -- the competition is definitely driving both platforms forward. Methinks there is some prejudice at play if you can't acknowledge this.
- cageface 15y agoUp until the last paragraph I thought he was leading up to the conclusion that Apple loyalists would do well do be less dismissive of Android and admit that there might be some ideas worth borrowing there. I don't personally take sides in the iOS vs Android wars but people like Marco and MG Siegler and John Gruber seem to be much less objective in this regard than most Android fans.
- patrickaljord 15y agoSame here, the complete redesign of all Google main web products and the latest ICS show that Google is ready to make some big change such as making design one of the most important features of all of their products. There's also the changes that Larry Page brought to management etc. Marco is really anti-Google and it shows. I don't care if he's pro-Apple or pro-Whatever, I just don't understand the constant need to bash Google like that.
