Google Dropping Apple?
My how the apple has fallen! If you are anything like me, you use Google’s search engine a lot. I rely on it heavily and it is the first site I turn to when searching because I trust the results and I can somehow find what I want almost every time. Being that I use the site every day, it is set as my default home page so I get to see the new graphic as they come out.
Today they were celebrating Sir Isaac Newton’s birthday. That’s great. And for the first time that I can recall, the logo is a bit animated in that a small apple falls from the logo.
When I saw this I had to laugh. I can’t help but think that this is some kind of inside joke about Google dropping Apple due to the recent turmoil each of them have been in. There must be a bit of bad blood between the two what with the Google Voice app denied from the iPhone AppStore, plus Google competing in the smart phone OS space.
You could also read this not only as Google dropping Apple, but maybe pointing out how far Apple has fallen from the proverbial tree. Perhaps saying something about recent animosity regarding the AppStore approval process.
Something to think about, either way it’s very very clever, even if it wasn’t meant to be!
