I guess Google don't really mind whether you use iOS or Android, as long as you use Google services on the device.
Question:
How do u feel about google blatantly knocking

I was actually talking about Microsoft's Windows OEM's. People were comparing MS to Android and I'm sure it wasn't because of their MS' windows phones...
Nokia wasn't losing more money than 57 other Android OEM's; just about the same... And it is not just selling just Windows phones that led them to ruin either; they were in trouble for many different reasons. So, how does that even compare?
Agreed. It definitely looks nicer in your example. But overall, I still think Bing is a better overall user experience on both desktop and mobile. The fact that the search bar moves in Google as soon as I start typing... it's such a jarring experience and a fundamental UI faux pas, it's hard to respect Google's UI.
I don't know how it is in USA, but here in Spain, Italy or Germany, Bing is way worse than Google
Ive been on Google Adwords for more than ten years and have always been impressed with their process and advantages for small business. Sure they were difficult to communicate with by emails etc... but the product worked and I had reasonable control. Suddenly Google has gone in house soliciting to change my stuff. Ive always been extremely careful to keep my site uninhibited but they called convinced me by showing me they were in control and wanted me to do things differently. Guess what...Im really not sure why and their people are really nice...but the reality is they want me to change everything give up control and basically take less results. Im thinking Google is selling out to big corporate and government interests. Now for the first time Im thinking about the IPhone 6 while its all to evident that search freedom is going to be much more difficult.
If that is the yardstick, then you would not like most companies. Tim Cook is quite good at this as well. And look at Apple PR statements on injuries about if they bought a company
Elon Musk and John Legere are quite refreshing exceptions. Elon Musk even says the third rail of CEOs: "I think our stock is over valued"
This is an amusing comment to make. All Execs make these types of comments. Is this what you really don't like about Google. Or maybe it's something else. Because if it's this - then you must have a long list of companies you "don't like"
Shipped and sold for Apple is no more than a day. Apple resellers simply don't have the redundant stock laying about like they do with Android products.
Apples sales records? The fact that when Apple say shipped that basically means sold and their yearly financial reviews proof that.
Excluding low end phones
1) It is knows that all the top android OEMs like samsung ship way more than they sell (http://www.forbes.com/sites/ewanspe...ld-samsungs-failed-gamble-with-the-galaxy-s5/)
2) Same goes for Microsoft http://www.bit-tech.net/news/hardware/2013/07/31/microsoft-surface-loss/1
3) It is known that people aren't exactly storming into the shops to buy high end android phones, especially compared to Apple.
4) It is also know that most Android OEMs are sort of broke.
Shipped Apple devices = sold.
Shipped Android/Windows OEM devices = Mostly marketing fluff

So, looking at your "arguments" there is absolutely no proof of your original claim.
Please, explain us who it is that each quarter there ar more devices activated and more devices shipped/sold. If no one sells what they ship, explain us where are they hidden. We can get a lot of free devices buried like the E.T. cartridges.
P.S. A hint, "it is known" is not proof of anything
First don't use the what operating systems is activated more often, it's desperate. You gonna tell me VW sells more cars than Ferrari? Apple sells like 2-4 phones which are not cheap junk. Android comes installed on most non ios devices that are made by a million OEMs, ranging from the absolute crap to the good.
Look how many iOS devices are activated in the high end phone sector. Also check how many devices are used for enterprise. When you checked both than come back to me.
Furthermore what do you mean where are they hidden? The surface 2 is propably dusting up somewhere in a big warehouse with all the unsold Galaxy S5s etc.
What is your point besides the fact that you apparently seem to be amazed that we don't see pictures of unsold stock? You expect some Indian Jones style warehouse we see in the news?
This happens constantly, demand is lower than what the manufacturer expected. It's basic business 101.
Android OEM constantly overestimate the demand (sometimes they probably even ship in high volumes on purpose) but than simply state we shipped millions of devices because it looks good in the news and on the balance sheet at first glance. When the actual sales come in tho is when you see who really is Boss and Apple is the King.

It is clear that you don't understand the argument, have a nice day and be happy thinking about Ferrari and VW
That's it, you ignore the rest?
What do you mean I don't get it, you don't get it. Mentioning activated android devices is a joke. Whats so hard to understand
1) iOS runs only on high end phones made by Apple which is like 2 a year.
2) Android runs on everything else basically which is a million phones from different manufactures ranging from crap to high end.
3) Most android devices you say are getting activated are LOW END DEVICES sold in developing countries.
4) All the OEMs that make low/medium end phones are not doing to well
5) All the OEMs that make high end phones are not doing to well, just ask HTC. Even Samsung is struggling since the 6/6Plus.
6) Apple dominates the high end and enterprise sector, you know the one that kind of matters
My comparison is compeltly relevant.
VW (which is android) sells cars in all different sectors from the low end to the high end therefore they sell a lot.
Ferrari (which is iOS) only sells a few model of cars in the high end sector and therefore don't sell as much.
EASY

It is funny, you post a lot of links that don't have anything with the claim you did. You don't understand the argument of increased device activation quarter after quarter.
But if you're happy, you're free to post anything to want, you still won't proof your claim because it is false.
P.S. A hint, increased activation quarter after quarter doesn't bode well with smartphones not sold lying in warehouses.
This statement did not answer the question but merely another means to divert attention to issues that are yet to be proven true.
-We see a lot of these statement from you. You rarely provide FACTS to back up your claims.
I can't seem to understand your mindset.
You HATE and DESPISE any competitor of Apple regardless how successful or great their products may be.
I can't not comprehend loyalty to a business that just produces products.
They are not saving the planet or lives!
If Apple fell of the face of the earth tomorrow, technology and innovation will still occur at the same rate, may be even faster since no law suite from Apple will be opened when some company produces an object that has a similar shape or movement.
Open mind... not present.
