Android is the only platform that has a chance of catching the iPhone. Only time will tell. At the least, they will push Apple to do better (interestingly, AAPL ended up in the green today).

Google is also investing BIG in alternative energies and are at the forefront of the coming cloud-computing revolution. They have plenty of opportunities to make money.

Yeah, I worked with the android platform. All 3 SDK versions which weren’t compatible with each other, for a Android Developer Challenge, and came in top 20% overall despite all the quirkyness of the SDK and getting a last minute SDK that pretty much broke the entire app. I can tell you, this isn’t gonna be google’s lifesaver. It’s not a gamechanger. Apple owns the consumer smartphone market, and blackberry the biz one.

Google’s late to the cloud computing game. And if they did their internal architectures like i think they did like yahoo, I can tell you google’s going to be in the same infrastructure mess that Yahoo is in which everything is undocumented, incompatible, homegrown, and lacks ability to integrate to the rest of the world. That my friend is Yahoo 2.0 and soon to be google 2.0. Google loves reinventing the wheel, even if it ends up creating an oval…Case in point, Android is a “java” based platform, but it’s not really java is it?

iPhone is gonna beat Android for the same reason OsX beat Linux.

Customers prefer paying for a few slick, polished apps over thousands of crappy free ones.

[quote=fat_lazy_union_worker]Why is oil at 92 bucks?

Simple… If we have a global recession, people consume less on unnecessary crap, and hence all that dinosaur oil doesn’t need to be poured into energy to power all those factories that produce all that crap we buy from china.

Also, OPEC members probably figured out that if they jack up oil prices to a point, Americans will get pissed off enough that they seriously start to consider alternative energies, and there are just enough talented people in the U.S. of A to actually pull that off if it really came to that.

The biggest factor is the moves they made to quell speculation. They raised the margin requirements and they limited how many contracts a “non industry participate” could have.

That oil was just another bubble. There is no reason why oil should be more then 45 bucks a barrel.
