i posted it because its stupid but it also wouldnt surprise me too much if something appeared at some point

ping is a bit different because they could have apple search as the default in safari

ah yes, a default in a browser only existing on a minority of mobile devices, and a very tiny minority of regular computers. this will truly be a success.

at first i was going to say theres no way apple would partner with anyone for something like search but them i remembered apple maps are basically tomtom maps (and some other providers maybe?) so i guess its possible

i still dont see it happening though. they'll probably just replace google with bing or yahoo as the default provider

why would apple partner with anyone else for search? well, they've been partnering with google for a good decade by now.

yea but ios 7 was all about letting the content take front and center and the change fits with the overall design goal. google is trying to become the new aol and have everyone search for keywords on google.com. CPC is tanking, little tweaks like this will incrementally drive up aggregate clicks

ios7 was about ruining years of good ui by going for looks over legibility and usability, and proving that being a great hardware designer doesn't mean you can design UIs for poo poo.

i dont see how it proves it, they haven't had great hardware design since december 1992

aaaahahaha gently caress you google



wait, you mean we can make more money by utilizing our deep pockets to sign exclusive deals with carriers to gently caress our competitors? *quietly abandons net neutrality*

google signed direct transit agreements and placing in-network cdns starting in about 2003 dude


why do idiots keep thinking this has anything to do with net neutrality

lol, no.

some places may have limited how many skus were sold, but during the vista era and into 7 the official ms merchandising strategy was loving bonkers

there was literally an AIDS edition of vista

and 99% of the sold copies to consumers were home, business, or ultimate, coincidentally also 99% of what showed up on store shelves

That might be true for furnaces. I'm down in South Florida so we mainly deal with straight cool systems. And any of those that are two speed or variable speed won't work with NEST. That is direct from the manufacturers and our own experience working with them. And it doesn't make sense because you'd think Google would want to data mine from the higher end customers.

nest was developed by silicon valley dudes who barely use or even have air conditioning but do occasionally have to use simple heat setups; hence why its unsuitable for a ton of places.

google's certainly not going to spend more money on the product

as a purchase for google? nest guys had some patents and poo poo and an overpriced product that people were and maybe still are buying a good amount of. no lose deal really.
