Making Lemonade Out of Lemons, In This Case… Applesauce
Apparently, big search engine, Google, and computer technology giant, Apple, have forgotten how to play nice in the sandbox. It seems that Apple touts that this allowance of the Google Voice application on their spectacularly popular iPhone will be nothing short of interface takeover.
In a purported effort to extract the truth of the “he said/she said”, the FCC sent a letter to Apple questioning this ostensible rejection wherein Apple flatly denied any such elimination of the Google Voice app, with a “we’re still looking into it” reply. Now the FCC has to play principal and decide who to believe. Not to be made a fool by anyone, Google posed a “bet me/call our bluff” invitation to Apple stating that it has hard core never before published evidence of the Apple dissing and was contemplating sending it to the FCC.
Knowing that the truth will soon be known, Apple will probably concede it loss, raise the proverbial white flag in surrender, albeit all but admitting it lied to a government entity and allow the app to be used on the iPhone — with small changes. Should this fail to come to fruition, Google apparently has another ace up its sleeve – it says it has a screen shot picture of authenticity proving as concrete evidence of Apple’s refusal of the Google Voice app. How this will or will not affect Google’s or Apple’s reputation is yet to be seen. If two lesser known giants in the world of search engines and computer technologies when mano a mano, it probably wouldn’t even may the evening news. Bottom line, however, greedy a company may be to monopolize technology, lying to the government has never been a good thing, so kudos to Apple for playing nice, at least in theory.
