I think this is imminent! Given the way these two companies are at loggerheads, this is bound to happen. Each of these companies immensely benefited from the ‘maps’ app when iPhone was launched way back in 2007. But differences flared up when Google started slowing the update of features of maps on iOS and started coming up with those features ahead of time on android devices. It is just like the way Microsoft tried to take advantage of making IE for so many default features in windows trumping firefox etc! But now Apple has enough clout to counter this so they are coming up with their own maps technology(or acquired one). It is again the case where the two giants are set to lose out on unnecessary competition! But the users will gain either way.
Back in 2009 Rick Santelli had a famous rant against the purported Obama Admin bailout of home owners with underwater mortgages. He claimed that the outburst was spontaneous – it was anything but. Several traders joined the chorus and proclaimed that they will have a ‘tea party’ to protest that socialist ‘outrage’ by the administration. He more or less called the fat cats – CME traders – a “silent majority.” However, that rant marked pretty much the birth of a ‘Tea party movement.’
While I agreed with “no bailouts for anybody” philosophy, the former trader Rick’s outrage was against people with underwater mortgages being bailed out. His outrage against the Wall Street pigs was rather muted.
Well – today he has another interesting rant. This will sure to make some headlines soon.
This is one of the funniest performances by Jon. In the words of one of the commenter:
This is probably my favorite clip from the Daily Show I’ve ever watched. I’m part Italian and was born in NJ, but now live in Minnesota; and I could not stop laughing when I first saw this when it aired. Anyone from that area know how to eat pizza all good and proper. Every part of this Rant by Jon is 100% true!
