One way to capture my attention: talk about new technologies and their markets.
I have seen various posts on either Apple (https://blogs.ubc.ca/joeylee/) or Apple vs Google (https://blogs.ubc.ca/juliezhu/), and I can’t help but make a comment on it.
Apple, Google, Microsoft, Intuit, SAP, etc etc is so much more than just smartphones and labtops. After interning at Microsoft this summer, I have learned the realistic range of what projects a company takes on.
(Cheesy warning) A company is almost like an iceberg: 10% the public sees, 90% is covered.
Apple has some things that people like more than other (example smartphones and laptops), Google has somethings that the same or other people also like (Google maps, Google docs).
When comparing the two, the most important aspect is to be specific. I do like the way that Joey Lee talked about the smartphone industry specifically, but I believe the header “Google vs Apple” have many different aspects to it.
The marketing of both Droid and Apple have very different markets as well (technology saavy vs family friendly though both strive to be sexy).
Honestly? I think both are a good investment.
Also, on a different note, I think Google’s changing logo on their main google.com sight is wicked awesome. Check out some of the art that they’ve had here:
Until next time,
