Someday You'll Hate Apple (And Google Too)

Posted by Zonk on from the if-that-day-hasn't-arrived-already dept.

jfruhlinger writes "Think today's world, where Apple is the innovative underdog, Google is the company that does no evil, and Microsoft sits atop its throne as ruler of an evil empire. Will this state of affairs last forever? You must not remember the days when everybody loved that scrappy upstart Bill Gates. Don Reisinger muses on the fickleness of consumer loves and hates. 'It's that same [level of] success and its own questionable privacy practices that will lead to Google's PR downfall and propel it into a position of disdain going forward. Trust me, the future of Apple and Google may look bright from an economic standpoint, but these companies will be hated one day too. Sad, but true.'"

    I predict that someday people will like the FISH as well as the troll. Sure they are hated now, but one day they will save a child from a fire and we will hold them up on our shoulders.
