(<a href="http://www.dailyfinance.com/quotes/apple-inc/aapl/nas">AAPL</a>) continuing to set the consumer electronics world on fire, it's a problem every company would love to have. Apple, at the top of its game from just about every angle, is timing its product launches in almost every category to capture the hearts and minds of consumers all over the globe. Its stock price and quarterly revenue prospects reach new heights on a monthly basis it seems. Thus, it is hard to believe that, in half a decade, one of Apple's core businesses <a href="http://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog-static/2010/04/why-steve-jobs-hates-flash.html">may no longer exist</a> as it does today.<p><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2010/05/04/is-apple-trying-to-be-more-like-google/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Is Apple Trying to Be More Like Google?</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2010/05/04/is-apple-trying-to-be-more-like-google/">Is Apple Trying to Be More Like Google?</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com">BloggingStocks</a> on Tue, 04 May 2010 16:40:00 EST.

The company that probably has more grand ambitions than any I can think of may want to tackle providing computing horsepower to needy customers in the future, though -- and in turn, become a service provider of sorts. This is on top of its ambition to become the largest advertising network the planet has ever seen.<br /><br />The scale of Google's global network and <a href="http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/07_52/b4064048925836.htm?link_position=link1">how it works technically would boggle the mind</a> of many a Ph.D. It's those brainiacs who designed the sprawling network of Google's cheaper-by-the-dozen normal computer servers who are now trying to find more ways to utilize all that computing power outside of providing search results in a fraction of a second to billions of queries every month. As Google continues to build massive data centers, what is it going to do with all that power? Become Skynet, the infamous, world-dominating <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skynet_%28fictional%29">global computer network</a> from the <em>Terminator </em>movies? Nah -- there are bigger business fish to fry.<p><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2007/12/19/googles-global-computing-cloud-set-for-amazing-things/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Google's global computing 'cloud' set for amazing things?</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2007/12/19/googles-global-computing-cloud-set-for-amazing-things/">Google's global computing 'cloud' set for amazing things?</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com">BloggingStocks</a> on Wed, 19 Dec 2007 16:25:00 EST.
