Google Enemy List, Primer


















Apple is one of the oldest meme in the world - the best of friends can sometimes make the worst enemies. In the beginning, Google and Apple worked closely together, so much so that Google CEO Eric Schmidt then sat on board of Apple. These links are broken, however, that Google began to develop its mobile operating system Android phone. Schmidt resigned from the board of Apple, and soon after, Jobs was put Google in an internal meeting of the company, saying: "We do not enter the research activity. Went to the telephone company. Make no mistake, they want to kill iPhone. "Companies are competing in the market for browsers, email, voice chat and a host of other services. And with Apple icloud new offering, companies are certain to headers for storing data as well.



Microsoft: No company that competes more aggressively with Google on a wide range of Microsoft products and services. It starts with the search and search advertising, where Google continues to crush Microsoft, despite the billions spent by the software giant to move it. Google is gaining ground against Microsoft in the productivity of enterprise applications, offering online versions of e-mails, spreadsheets and word processors, which compete with Microsoft Office. Your browser Chrome has taken a market share of Internet Explorer. Your mobile phone operating system Android is becoming the most viable alternative for the iPhone in the smartphone market, not Windows Phone. Microsoft's recent bid to acquire Internet video chat provider Skype is considered by many across the spectrum of competition with Google, which has its own voice of Google.

And Microsoft, who knows better than most the difficulties of a long struggle trustbusters was the most active competitor Google operation of regulators to raise concerns.


Oracle: Oracle Database software leader is not the most obvious enemy Google. The two companies, which have a common enemy in Microsoft do not compete significantly.

Last week, Oracle added another deposit to the case, saying the damage that run "in the billions of dollars."

PayPal: Google Checkout is certainly a competitor to PayPal method of payment for goods and services online. But Google has a lot of competitors. The battle becomes interesting when the PayPal Google accused of poaching a key person.

Of the same suit also accused the Google VP of e-commerce Stephanie Tilenius, another former executive PayPal, violated his contract by taking his former colleague, Bedier. In response to the suit, Google said it will respect the trade secrets, and intends to defend against claims.



Facebook: Google's battle with Facebook is really the future of the Internet. If you think Facebook, where computer users more and more people are using their time on the Web is becoming something of an Internet alternative, that Google has every right to be worried. While computer users to hang out on Facebook, they are not search the Internet using Google. In fact, Facebook has developed relationships with Microsoft that provides access to rival Redmond users to add social networking features to its search engine, Bing. Google has tried to match some features of Facebook, a latest offers, a service that allows users to show love to websites in much the same was Facebook users can "Like" a site.
