They come out with an OS, with no prior consumer product or OS ever That claim thoroughly destroyed on the other thread.
Google buy their server hardware from other hardware makers like Dell, HP etc.
Nope. Google designs and builds their own servers. You really are having a problem with facts lately.
Each server has its own 12v battery instead of a rack sharing an UPS. The PSU is 12v-only (no 5v) for higher efficiency, so naturally the motherboard is a custom design that accepts only 12v input. The PSU (which sits at the front of the rack), battery and hard drives are attached with Velcro for quick replacement. Google gets pluck-and-chuck PSU replacement without fancy and expensive levers, latches, connectors and housings. As you see, they route a standard power cable to the front and plug it into the PSU.
Does that look like a standard HP or Dell design to you? Google's design is less expensive and FAR more energy efficient than their products.
According to Canalys, Android is ahead by 3.6% worldwide
That's edging ahead. Clobber may happen this quarter. We'll have to wait.
Development of the Newton platform started in 1987
And the first Newton as we know it wasn't made until 1993. What was first conceived in 1987 had almost no relation to what finally got produced.
Who has a problem with facts here?
With this comment, plus the comment about Google buying its servers from Dell and HP, plus the comment about Google having no OS experience, I'd have to say you.
That claim thoroughly destroyed on the other thread.
That fact as strong as ever, after I had thoroughly taken apart your claims to the contrary in this and other threads.
Apple = in the consumer electronics business for over 30 years, long before Google was even founded, and when the founders of Google were in Kindergarten. Yet Google gets into the smartphone OS business, and proceeds to clobber Apple in just 2 short years, ..and they Androids is still growing at a staggering 886% annually. OUCH!
That's edging ahead. Clobber may happen this quarter. We'll have to wait”,/i> Naaaah.
That a clobbering alright.
3.6% ahead, when Apple only has a market share of just 13.5%, means Google’s market share is ahead of Apple's by a massive 26%. That's not “edging ahead”. That's a clobbering!
“And the first Newton as we know it wasn't made until 1993. What was first conceived in 1987 had almost no relation to what finally got produced”,/i>
Again, from Wiki:
“The Newton platform was an early personal digital assistant (PDA) hardware/software and the first tablet platform developed by Apple Computer (now Apple Inc.), the second platform being iOS (previously named iPhone OS), used in the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. Development of the Newton platform started in 1987 and officially ended on February 27, 1998”
