- PeterWhittaker 12y agotl;dr: Apple makes brilliant lifestyle tech, Google is out to change the world (driverless cars, etc.). "I will laud Google but will use Apple tech to do it."
- mcphage 12y agoTwo criticisms: (1) Google is out to change the world, true, but none of these technologies have actually come out as products, and it's not clear they will. (2) Given how much of our future will be dependent on technology, technology that is focused on making using it a pleasant experience is important and significant. If the future is humanity intertwined with technology that neither knows nor cares how to help people use it, that sounds pretty dystopian to me.
