Yikes! Interesting solution and I half wondered if something like this existed.
Yes yes yes! Regarding magsafe.
Tell me more about an Apple Search Engine. I am fully satisfied with DuckDuckGo. Honest inquiry.
I would add to your realistic wishlist:
Fully bake iPadOS so that I can drag widgets out on to the main floor.
See here:
I am really disappointed by DDGâs efficiency compared to Google. I end up using !g two times out of three. As soon as you start making a somewhat complex query, it completely falls apart, while Google always gives me results on the first page.
And yes to your widget wish on iPad â absolutely!
I understand how you feel. Iâve been using internet search since the mid 90âs but Iâve found nothing that can match Google.
Jim Cramer, CNBC, when discussing the lawsuit against Google said (as I recall) if the DOJ wants to break up Alphabet you would get healthcare, Waymo, Youtube, etc. but how do you break up Search? Give A to M to Bing?
I donât think you break up search. I think you separate search from the display advertising business.
My wish: I wish it was 2022.
Wouldnât that be like Apple giving away iPhones so they could sell you Music & News? Or maybe Google should start charging for their services. Perhaps looking at maps would be free, but turn by turn directions would require a subscription.
Yes, Iâm being a bit facetious. But having a bunch of politicians try to come up with a solution to a problem they know nothing about never ends well.
Iâm making a distinction between display ads (ads that Google sells on other websites, essentially the business that grew from the acquired DoubleClick acquisition way back in the day) from search ads (ads shown on the Google site alongside their searches). Google could still run the search engine using search ads, but they couldnât creepily use search info to have their display ads follow you everywhere on the web. Most of Googleâs other services would probably go with the display ads business, so Google search wouldnât have the incentive to privilege them above competitorsâ offerings.
Of course you are correct that there are numerous ways Google could try to monetize their services. However, there is always the possibility they could also eliminate some very popular ones in the process.
