Has Google gone crazy? Jobs will ruin everything Google has built. He'll lower the performance of their services like Google Search and then charge a subscription fee to use it, so he can buy another turtle-neck sweater, buy a new beard trimmer, and wear glasses that are so tiny you can barely see them. I also just read a rumor that Apple was thinking of buying Sony. God what a nightmare that would be. Say goodbye to blu-ray then, and PS3 and sony TV's will get jacked up in price, with lower performance. Companies like Google, that already have a good thing going for them should stay away from this guy. Sure he'll probably make them more money by selling their products to his Apple Zombies; upgrading every year for the same old product , but their quality and reputation will go down the drain.
