Vorbind cu cei de la Fortune, CEO-ul Google, Larry Page, a afirmat ca strategia de business a companiei Apple este gresita si ea afecteaza in principal utilizatorii. El spune ca ecosistemul inchis al celor de la Apple si initiativele de a renunta la serviciile Google lasa utilizatorii intr-o lume inchisa unde nu beneficiaza de cea mai buna experienta. El se refera desigur la scoaterea aplicatiei YouTube si a serviciului Google Maps din iOS 6, ambele miscari afectand serios posesorii de iDevice-uri.
I think it would be nice if everybody would get along better and the users didn’t suffer as a result of other people’s activities. All the big technology companies are big because they did something great. I’d like to see more cooperation on the user side. The Internet was made in universities and it was designed to interoperate. And as we’ve commercialized it, we’ve added more of an island-like approach to it, which I think is a somewhat a shame for users.
Adevarul este ca unele decizii ale celor de la Apple au afectat foarte mult utilizatorii, insa si compania, iOS 6 Maps fiind cea mai mare greseala a Apple din ultimii ani. Larry Page are dreptate si adevarul este ca Apple trebuie sa isi schimbe o parte din strategia de viitor, insa nu o va face si cei care cumpara produse Apple fie vor intelege ca intra intr-un ecosistem inchis, controlat de Apple, fie vor decide sa plece si sa opteze pentru cu totul altceva.
I think it would be nice if everybody would get along better and the users didn’t suffer as a result of other people’s activities. I try to model that. We try pretty hard to make our products be available as widely as we can. That’s our philosophy. I think sometimes we’re allowed to do that. Sometimes we’re not” Larry Page, CEO, Google.
