Yeah, Google has better chances taking over the world than Apple.

The thing about macs is that every month or two they pull out the name of another big cat out of a hat and then make a 30 dollar upgrade named after that cat. The upgrade doesn't change anything at all, but it makes all of your programs obsolete unless you buy it. They are simply evil. But so are Google and Facebook. Don't even get me started on Wal Mart and McDonalds, though.
I'm not worried about SOPA creating censorship, that will not stand for long. I'm worried that they'll succeed in stopping piracy!

And yes, I think the'll take over the whole world. Probably by saying that we violate their precious copyright every day when we say: "I have an apple for lunch."
Lol. They won't do that, will they ? D:

I think Apple can be compared to TI in a lot of ways. Apple created the iphone (note that I don't put any caps) and it was copied. But the iphone is blocked in many ways.
TI "created" calcs and Casio copied, let's say, even if not very true. But TI blocks a lot of things, too. I don't even know why. Their purpose is not to sell, or to please ? because Apple doesn't please me and did not sell me anything.

Here is what one of my teacher said:
"Before, products were created to answer to a need.
Now, they (read: Apple) want to create the need so you buy".

Casio made the first graphing calc: the fx-7000

I feel Google has more chances so far. Apple will have to monopolize the computer OS market for that to happen I think.

And yeah TI didn't make the first graphing calc, it's Casio that did, as Flyingfisch said. Plus Casio made the first color calc 15 years before TI did.

Spoiler For IMPORTANT NEWS!:
Late last night, Quebec was invaded by a group calling themselves, "Omnimaga". Not much is known about these mysterious people except that they all carried calculators of some kind and they all seemed to converge on one house in particular. Experts estimate that the combined power of their fabled calculators is greater than all the worlds super computers put together. The group seems to be holding out in the home of a certain DJ_O, who the Omnimagians claim to be their founder. Such power has put the world at a standstill with everyone waiting to see what the Omnimagians will do...

Wait... This just in, the Omnimagians have sent the UN a list of demands that must be met or else the world will be "submitted to the wrath of Netham45's Lobster Army". Such demands include >9001 crates of peanuts, sacrificial blue lobsters, and a wide assortment of cherry flavored items. With such computing power stored in the hands of such people, we can only hope these demands are met.

In the wake of these events, we can only ask, Why? Why do these people make these demands, what caused them to gather, and what are their future plans...

Android OS is an OS. That is all Google distributes, phone companies just use their OS. Google makes no hardware.

Yeah, I know there is an error in my sentence but I had translation problems. I meant something like "TI owned the marketplace before". But I am not even sure about that. At least it is true in France.
