For example, a few years from now, we and other companies could be serving ads and other content on refrigerators, car dashboards, thermostats, glasses, and watches, to name just a few possibilities. Our expectation is that users will be using our services and viewing our ads on an increasingly wide diversity of devices in the future, and thus our advertising systems are becoming increasingly device-agnostic." all hail our glorious technological future

its pretty much exactly what msft got busted for in the late 90s (using their dominance in one market to exert oversized influence in another)

apples business model means they, serendipitously, never get close to 100% dominance in anything mp3 players? but there are lots of other mp3 players on the market phones? but there are lots and lots of phones including an entire anroid ecosystem you can embrace if you think ours is too restrictive computers? hey after a decade of steady growth were closing in on 10% market share tablets? still tons of tablets available from other manufacturers subscription media? streaming? settop boxes? still lots of other options, still lots of competition they generously leave the low price zero margin stuff for others to squeeze pennies out of

the exposed network and power cabling snaking down from the uncovered ceiling really give it the sort of fly-by-night boiler room vibe that you like to see in a technology company worth hundreds of billions dollars

all of sv is essentially a toxic time bomb. rocket fuels and military chemicals in the 40s and 50s, dumping from semiconductor manufacturing in the 60s and 70s, its a loving mess. plus its almost all landfill, and in a seismic activity zone too!
