Google is the dominate search because it is just a lot better. That was true over Altavista and true today. Saying anything otherwise is ridiculous. Heck MS owns PC and down to tiny share with Bing. Look at browsers in 2016 we had 300

Not true in Mobile. Bing is not very good in comparison to Google. Then with MS down to 6.5% share in the US for all devices it will just get worse. http://gs.statcounter.com/search-engine-market-share/all/uni.

I suspect Google wants to keep it away from MS more than anything. With Bing down to 2.5% market share they do not have the revs to invest. That is why Bing is so bad compared to Google on mobile. http://gs.statcounter.com&#x

This is not true and easy to see with Internet usage. See how iOS is flat and Android keeps growing. https://tctechcrunch2011.files.wordpress.com/2017/04/statcou...

Look at what happened when Firefox switched default search. The default search on Firefox is now worth far less than it was before as they lost huge amounts of browser market share. Bing is down to 2.5% market share , global and all platf

A guy that is part of a group that drove a car into innocent people and hates anyone that is not a white, hetro male wants to break up Google and FB and it is something actually discussed on HN? Really?

Agree. Everyone I interact with it is all TF. Even my son at University they are using TensorFlow. Hype or simply better at this point does not really matter as it is simply self fulfilling at this point. Think of it like k8s and Dock

Google alerts every morning works well for me. Then Reddit and then HN.

Actually Chromebooks have already passed the Mac in the US and growing at 38% YoY versus the Mac is flat. https://www.theverge.com/2016/5/19/11711714/chromebooks-outs... Chromebooks outsold Macs for the

Great contrast to Google deciding to leave China.

Interesting contrast to Google deciding to leave China. Apple has also chosen to use a China gov controlled cloud provider.

Yes it is using Crouton.

by johnsmith21006 9y ago
You can get a Acer 14 refurb for under $200 which is a good dev machine using Crouton with ChromeOS. Nothing else is going to be able to touch this. Sounds like you are just not up to date what is now possible with Chromebooks.

Personally would use the Google cloud instead. Faster, cheaper and love working in containers.

You really do no understand what Google is doing or how it works. The article does a poor job explaining. It is more like a virtual circuit switch network. It enables far less cost in equipment as no need to over provision. But

I would argue the Bitcoin author being secret has created more intrigue and possibly more noterriery. It is believed to be Nick Szabo, btw. There is also a security issue as thought that he has a lot of bitcoins hidden away.

YouTube doubled in hours of video watched last year going from 500m to 1 billion hours daily. FB total video is 100m hours. So Google added 5x FB total. Netflix was about 128 million hours daily. So Google should get to 1 out of 3 pre

But Google is also 22 years younger? Google passed $100b market cap at age 7 and Apple at 29. Google other as in non ad revenues in 2016 at age 18 is greater than all of Apple revenues when they were the same age. Plus Google grew in

Google broke $100B market cap at seven years old. Apple mail did it at 29 years old. Google never has declined for a single quarter YoY since day 1. Not a single time. Apple had $2.33 EPS for Q2 2015 and for Q2 2017 reported $1.90 EPS

Google Home with YouTube is amazing. I say play Gwen Bottle and get Gwen Stefanni sing Message in a bottle. Or say play One Love Peas and get Blach Eye Peas ad One Love concert. What are you talking about?

What I have heard about Facebook infrastructure it would better with Google cloud than Amazon.

Chrome won not because of pure marketing. Chrome is a very good browser is why.

Also have a R11 Chromebook and love it. I do use Crouton but been also using GNUroot as does not require developer. What I love is being able to do cloud development (Linux) on a commercial laptop. I wish Google would push this harder as

Microsoft is really getting desperate. Saw similar propaganda recently with Chromebooks. Guess going back to their old MO.

Seems like a steal for $9B. Would have thought more. This is pretty big. But what does it say Whole Foods and then Slack? Crazy world and incredible compression in business. The Internet did exact opposite of what thought would happ
