Cloud Computing: Google vs. Apple
In summary:
Google’s concept of cloud computing is largely Web-based, as are most of the company’s initiatives. Chief among them is that any device with a Web browser and an Internet connection can access the vast majority of Google services: GMail and the related contact manager; Google Calendar; and Google Docs, where you can view, edit and collaborate on Office-style documents. Google’s system also allows you to purchase and read ebooks, for instance, or listen to your DRM-free music (once its been uploaded).
Apple’s approach with iCloud is different, because it’s clearly app-centric When it comes to syncing your core personal information, the apps involved can be iOS apps — Contacts, Calendar, Camera, iTunes, iBooks, App Store — Mac apps such as Address Book, iCal, iPhoto and iTunes, or Windows apps like Outlook, the Photos folder and, again iTunes.
Two approaches, one goal
The interesting thing is that both Apple’s app-based approach and Google’s Web-centric mindset point in the same direction: instant access to your data, whenever you want it, wherever you are.
This is Google’s mission statement:
Google’s mission is to organize the world‘s information and make it universally accessible and useful.
This is Apple’s mission statement:
Apple designs Macs, the best personal computers in the world, along with OS X, iLife, iWork, and professional software. Apple leads the digital music revolution with its iPods and iTunes online store. Apple reinvented the mobile phone with its revolutionary iPhone and App Store, and has recently introduced its magical iPad which is defining the future of mobile media and computing devices.

Through violence you may murder the hater, but you do not murder hate. In fact, violence merely increases hate. Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.-- Martin Luther King, Jr

What information consumes is rather obvious: it consumes the attention of its recipients. Hence a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention, and a need to allocate that attention efficiently among the overabundance of information sources that might consume it.-- Herbert Simon

If our concept of God is wrong, the more religious we get, the more dangerous we are to ourselves and others.-- William Temple

El Carácter (Character)
{español}
El mero hecho de buscar algo malo en otros desarrolla el mal en los que lo buscan. Al espaciarnos en los defectos de los demás nos transformamos a la imagen de ellos. Por el contrario, mirando a Jesús, hablando de su amor y de la perfección de su carácter, nos transformamos a su imagen.{english}
The very act of looking for evil in others develops evil in those who look. By dwelling upon the faults of others, we are changed into the same image. But by beholding Jesus, talking of His love and perfection of character, we become changed into His image.— Ellen G. White
