Macrumors comment section is awesome. Apple announces news, nothing but vitriol. Google makes some pretty boring announcements, everyone is getting in line to give Sergey Brin a reach-around. On a Mac forum. Good stuff.
You sound like that guy at Trump rallies that's only there to hate on him.
Instead of judging the people, judge the content.
The day that Google Now is interchangeable with Siri will be a great day for the end user.
What an absolutely underwhelming event.
exactly this is coming. just few days now. siri has taken a big leap, they are just putting all the api together so system-wide access will work.
Where did I mention Siri? Why not just incorporate Google assistant into Google Now or combine the two? And why create a video calling and messaging app when Hangouts already exists?
It's clear and sad Apple is the catcher now. Behind Google, behind Microsoft, and even kinda behind Amazon.
Apple should release something like Echo or Google Home and try to surpsise us by being better.
Google Allo is a bunch of simple ideas but with a brilliant implementation. iMessage can be improved and should become cross platform.

Maybe because Apple looks more and more boring as each year passes while Google is actually making big strides on their OS, VR, and AI? Just a thought.
Wishful thinking... Im still waiting for the day when i can grab my phone and use to touch ID to unlock my Mac... Like you said apple has all the pieces, they just need to put them together and with Tim Cook i doubt they ever will....
Yup, as expected, here come the Apple hating trolls!
Google, innovating even more ways to collect personal information from its users. Nice...
And here are the folks who believe that if you have a negative thing to say about Apple you are a troll. All hail mighty Apple, thou can do no harm.
Tell us some apple news that has been exciting! Don't tell us about how 9.3.2 is bricking iPad Pro devices. That's not a very exciting news!
Hangouts is crap? Perhaps they realise that and their users don't like it, so they listen to their customers and make changes. It looks like a very nice neat simple solution.
And I think you need to watch the video to see how it all works. They did a fair bit of explanation about it all. It is incredible integration.
What's is the harm in that as long as it's improving my life and improving my daily life experience when it comes to using google products? I give some to get some, no?
All of those things are true or seem to be coming true. I know you're trying to be funny with a thread preemption, but that won't change the reality of Apple as the company stands today and has been trending for years. I feel bad for Apple shareholders.
Google and Amazon aren't leaving Apple in the dust. Apple isn't even in the race! They decided they were a fashion company with social justice aspirations.
Well fashion trends change and what was fashionable yesterday is unfashionable today.
Beats lol...
Every company does this.
Wow, I was really expecting to come here and see people are unimpressed as I was but apparently, I stand corrected.
You made ANOTHER messaging app? Yes, because that's what we all need. And then you made FaceTime for Android. Round of applause. Oh but wait! You can "whisper shout" now. Instant Android Apps seem like a privacy problem. Sure, you're not installing the entire thing but you're still putting pieces of the code on local devices without any sort of user permissions given.
Google Home seems interesting.
Was really hoping for some Chrome/Chrome OS news but I think I heard one mention of Chrome in the full 2 hour presentation.

Maybe you need to learn how to use the phone? You don't need a third party alarm clock - the built in one works great... and you don't have to set it manually at night.
I switched too, and found Apple Maps was more accurate, which was completely unexpected.
So far I have to say this whole thread is filled with trolls.
