More woman are more likely to buy apple, and men more likely to buy google? Apple is more emotional? the writers are clearly insisting that apple is gay and that men should buy google. No thanks, apple is the standard for video editing and sound editing. We in Hollywood bought Apple, not only because it's sexy, but it is reliable. It has nothing to do with us being next to West Hollywood. We aren't just artist either, we are engineers. This is one bias article!

It all comes down to the benjamins-

Apples going to have a $25 Billion dollar quarter.

Google will be lucky to make $7.5 Billion.

Writers often choose a simplistic dichotomy to give their work punch and structure. While this is strategy is great for artistic effect, it distorts reality. (See: bed, procrustean)

This pretty much sums up comparision of Google vs Apple "Google is GM which produces mass of cars, while apple is like Porsche or Lamborghini" . And one can easily replace Google with Microsoft throughout this debate.

I'm sick and tired of stupid articles. Apple is a hardware firm, who happen to write their own OS. Google is a software firm, who happen to create a few hardware products.

Google's data driven development is inherently backwards looking. They are great at refining existing products or concepts, they are blind when it comes to esthetics, or long term developmental projects.
They copy and refine / iterate.

:)))))) what a crapy article. Apple's hardware are not good?? MacBook, MBPs, iPhone, iPod, can you just tell what's wrong with their hardwares?? Google hardware is good??? (Except for just one phone at the launch time of Android, has google ever had any other hardware???) I don't know what is your major, but just for your information: Nowadays User interface design and human computer interaction is not an artistic work it is an engineering work and easy to use, high quality user interfaces are created by engineers (exactly what is happening in Apple). I'm a computer engineer and I've studied HCI in university as an engineer not an artist. I also love google products but not all of them. You have talked about features of google products…. Can you talk a little bit about google wave's failure??? (Google TV 's failure is also on the road) Engineering: Android SDK is the worst SDK that an App developer can work with. Android is better than MW7 but developing apps for windows mobile is by far more convenient than for android. Apple products are produced by engineers who also understand Arts and are marketed by people who know marketing, while google products are from top to bottom are produced, designed and marketed by Geeks, that's why in some cases they are really successful while in most cases they lose. A simple comparison : Google is GM which produces mass of cars, while apple is like Porsche or Lamborghini. They are the junction of Arts and engineering. Btw. your article is really unprofessional.

Are you an artist or an engineer?

The question should be, do you have a date on Saturday night or not? Women prefer Apple by a wide margin.

Definitely the most unprofessional article I've read in a long time. Making so obviously irreal claims is lame...
If you want to compare things, get real, objective and try not to fall in the extreme this much.

Btw I'm using both apple and google products, and I'm satisfied with both of them. The claims above are couldn't be more far from truth and reality...

iPhoneIMovie is an app used to create movies from videos and photos shot on the iPhone, it works great! Also you can get a app called cloud, it's an alternative internet browser that has FLASH. As for TV I have the dishnetwork app that let's me watch TV as well as my recorded shows, and I have the Netflix app so I can stream movies right to my phone. Then I can use airplay to wirelessly stream them to my apple TV. :) Lastly I'm not a fan boy I don't like the iPad or MacBook airs and I have a windows laptop.

You just proved him right. Sorry.

oh man what a load – Evo is bigger and more attractive than iphone. it takes perfect HD movies, and has an 8 megapixel camera that works really well. mine has never crashed. ios is way to simplistic to compete. yet another apple fanboy

Rob "Never Right" Enderle, head of the "Enderle Group" (i.e., Rob and his wife), shows once again how totally clueless he is. Here, he compares Apple hardware with Google software. This has nothing to do with Jobs being a designer and Schmidt being an engineer. His bizarre and ridiculous claims are like comparing the people who make the software that runs you car with the people who designed the Space Shuttle and the software that runs it. Only fools and suckers still listen to ol' "Never Right." Why is DT lowering themselves to publish his spew?

Its very unfortunate for your aunt but I used G1 for about over a year and I was able to crop nearly perfect even with that early version of android phone. Android phones have came a long way from G1 and you can't compare G1 to iPhone 4. And android phones got REAL multi tasking from DAY ONE, cut-copy-paste functions and notifications which steve jobs thought way too geeky for iPhone users (of course only until android came along with all those even in its early versions). iMovies is the only way you can watch movies. May be your aunt doesnt know how to use a flash (heard of it ???) supporting browser or the various tv apps on android.

My iPhone is super slim and works great! I've never had a problem with it and I works a lot better than any goggle phone. My phones never been frozen, I've never had problems with the screen, and I does what I want it to when I want it. Google phones are not more technologically advanced than the iPhone, my
Cousin has the new G1 and he was telling me how great it was, then he tried to unlock it and it was stuck, wouldn't do anything. My aunt has the evo 4G and it's really ugly, she's always jelouse because I'm making iMovies on my iPhone while she can't even figure out how to crop a picture. I just don't know how you can say that the iPhone can't do anything.
