    If you look at how many things Google is dominating, it makes sense. You probably don’t even think about how dominating they are, but they have global search, global email, global Android, global maps, global tracking of cars, global video service (YouTube), global language translate, global chrome os… It’s really hard to even see anything Google is not dominating.

    Apple… What, makes the best hardware and makes it’s own operating system? That’s about it.

    The amount of data Google has on us is much worse than that science function has imagined. They are the big brother, knowing every intimate detail about billions of people.

    And they have ties to the US intelligence service, and probably have given them direct access to all that data through some patriot act or whatever. It’s fine but make no mistake here, apple is nothing compared to that.
