M$ isn't rebounding anytime soon, especially with RT.
Feels like M$ is gonna rebound with Blue/the new Xbox running RT apps (thus boosting the adoption of RT and the creation of apps), they could maybe even rebound with phones if they put a real RT on them instead of WP8.
Meanwhile Chrome OS is going nowhere.
Meanwhile Samsung is getting ready to jump ship to Tizen and rightfully so since Google bought Motorolla and that's worse/more dangerous than what M$ did to Nokia from Samsung's point of view (giving them money to make Windows Phones exclusively), Google will soon be in a position to all the manufacturers over once their own Motorolla phones finally come out so it's pretty obvious that they're all going to run from Android. It's a bit of a do or die and Samsung can go head to head with them quite easily.
They create so many apps only to give up on them, some of them even seem to serve the same purpose, Keep, Tasks? Feels kinda dysfunctional/amateurish for such a big company.
Glass is a gonna be an epic fail and a waste of money.
Not sure how it will turn out but I'm thinking it could turn badly for them and they may need to rethink their way of doing things...

Well RT will get boosted by the Xbox and I wouldn't bet against the Xbox, especially when Sony has been doing so badly in recent years.
RT cannot run legacy apps, PCs with Intel Atom chips can. It's going nowhere.
Samsung is not jumping ship to Tizen. Jesus. Where do you get this ?
Can't comment too much, but I wouldn't bet against it. I know for a fact they've really good incentives to move apps to RT
Google could honestly only be just getting started. Can you imagine if they find a way to make self-driving cars affordable? Insurance rates would drop like a rock because of the instant drastic reduction of crashes/fatalities.
Not to mention that they're (albeit slowly) installing Google Fibre in the central US, and it's every bit as amazing as has been promised from reports I've been reading.
Samsung is probably a bigger threat to Google at this point than Apple is, but as big as Sammy is, you gotta wonder if they won't get bogged down like Sony and Microsoft did after being a world leader for a while.
Chrome OS is going nowhere, despite the fact that the samsung chrome laptop has been the top selling laptop at amazon. Is the top "wished for" laptop, and the number 1 gift idea.
Samsung may jump ship to Tizen ( TeyshaBlue they are releasing a tizen flagship phone this year), but how many android fans will do the same?
Glass seems cool and it may or may not be successful in its current form, but the tech that goes into it will definitely be used in other projects.
Driverless cars.
Google's work on/stake in renewable energy projects
etc.
Google Fiber. I need that in my house.
I honestly don't see the point. My TWC internet is about 20 Mbps and it is plenty fast. Am I missing something? I honestly would probably sign up for their 5.x Mbps free service and not look back.
You made the point.
With that being said, I would probably end up getting a little pissed off if I was trying to use the internet while my wife was watching a movie and my daughter was using her tablet, but that is 660 a year I could save. I might put up with the annoyances.You made the point.
No way I trust that . Not yet.
I agree with you. Completely. But that is only because I haven't seen anything yet (and really neither has anyone else other than a random sighting). However, it is one of those inevitable things.
As soon as one "bug" kills some people, that will be the end of that.
No it won't. There will be an initial scare and backlash, maybe some legislation to prove that it is even safer than it was before (which will spur it to be even safer than it was before) and it will continue on. There will be a lot of data that will show that it will have far fewer accidents/fatalities per mile driven than a human driver which people will initially and irrationally reject, but then it will eeck forward.
So you're saying you would rather trust the moron next to you who's eating a hamburger in one hand, cell phone in the other, driving with his knee while trying to stare down the blonde in the convertible next to him over a computer that has no agenda and no other purpose except to get you from point A to point B? Okay man, whatever you say.
Yeah, thank god no one ever s up behind the wheel and takes out a whole family.
I trust the human visual cortex over the computer. Even the moron driving next to me is smarter than a computer.
I'd easily trust the moron next to me since I don't have to worry about him going completely braindead like I would the driverless car if someone's code copies a 64-bit value into a 16-bit variable.
So far the Google computer has driven 250,000 miles with 0 accidents. Sounds like it's pretty smart to me.
You've clearly never driven a car before. lol. People are 100% braindead all the time behind the wheel.
Yeah....I know bout the Tizen phone. They also build a Windows phone. They also make more money than God selling Android phones. They ain't leaving that cash on the table.
No, I mean the guy ing dies and is literally braindead.
Come on. Do you really think they are going to put all their eggs in one basket and if the car gets some bad code it suddenly speeds up to 150 mph and veers into a tree or off a cliff? They have fail-safes and protocols for a reason. It's not like they're just throwing this out to the public with no testing. That's what they're doing now. Testing. Retesting. Slowly figuring out how to make a car that can drive, and not crash if something WERE to go wrong.
