In Forbes appeared surprisingly provocative article. One reviewer edition Brian Caulfield (Brian Caulfield) complains that Google is all over the copy Apple products. And to blame, according to Caulfield - Google CEO Eric Schmidt, CEO (Eric Shmidt), who sits on the Apple board of directors. Although Schmidt is hardly a "spy", it should be noted. that after almost every news released by Apple's, Google has displayed such a device or program.
The new operating system from Google - Chrome OS - OS X is similar to that compatible with both x86 and ARM processors, and developed on the basis of Unix operating systems with open source (at the time as Mac OS X runs on Darwin - another version of Unix Open Source code) writes Caulfield. Further, it is worth comparing iPhone, released in January 2007, and the subsequent Android him in November of 2007. Another example - a web browser Apple Safari, which existed for a long time only in the version for Mac OS, and then released for Windows, and Chrome browser for Windows from Google. List can be long, do not forget about the office suite from Apple - iWork - and Google Docs, and an e-mail Apple and Google.
Caulfield concludes that Google has no choice but to start working on something more than free Search services, because profits from advertising alone in the search results is not enough such companies as Google.
But another author - Jason Kincaid (Jason Kincaid) from TechCrunch - immediately wants challenge all statements Caulfield. He refers to the similarity of the two corporations created products are not copied, but parallel evolution - the inevitable result of discoveries and developments. Kincaid points to significant differences between Chrome OS (running on the cloud-based technologies) and Mac OS X, Google Docs (again, working in the cloud), and of iWork, a free GMail email service and pay Apple. In the same vein, you can compare any products Apple and Google, and believe with certainty that their imaginary similarity - just the result of technological development, the need to compete in the market and get profits from their work.
