Nobody says "Let me Bing/Yahoo that". So yeah, Google is how you search
the interwebs. But I agree on the other point. I do not trust any
company that has (or can have) such huge control over information. Be it
Google, Microsoft, Apple, etc... or the government.

Blackberries and Android wouldn't even exist if Apple hadn't created
the first iPhone. Same with tablets... look how many people tried
tablets before Apple, and they all failed.
I purchased a Macbook for my daughter headed to college 5 years ago.
She used that laptop literally every day, for over 5 years. She
graduated with two Bachelor's degrees... using that same laptop. Every
paper, thousands of emails, etc... and she has never had a single
issue... no viruses, no hardware issues, no software issues. Never a
single issue. No OS reload, no malware scanners, nothing. It just
works. Just like all the rest of Apple's products... they just work.

Apple is gone. People buy Blackberries and Android. Tablets
probably won't exist. Mp3 players would probably have come to
fruition without them. What else do they have?

At least Apple makes products... products that literally changed
the computing world, the phone world, the retail world, created
apps, and the music world. Google created a search engine
(actually copying Yahoo, Webcrawler, Altavista and several others
at the time). They aren't a "product". They don't "sell"
anything. They are a webpage, just like Facebook.
Imagine your life without Google or Facebook. NOTHING CHANGES.
Yes, they built a better mousetrap using their intelligence and
hard work... but they aren't "inventors". They didn't create
anything new or groundbreaking.

Google is making themselves the curator of access to the world's
information and communications. When you consider the value of
those, it's not just the most valuable company in matters of
money. The founders had incredible foresight in addition to
their intelligence and hard work.

Literally, a one page website for a company that is less
than 19 years old is now the most valuable company in the
world. :(
