Google on Apple: The end is near
 

The chat room and social network religious wars between Apple and Google demand that you take sides. But I've always felt that the best experience includes a cherry-picking of Apple hardware, Google services and apps from both. For example, on my MacBook Pro, iPad and iPhone, my No. 1 application is Google Chrome, where I obsessively use Google Search, Google Photos, Google Drive, Google Docs, Google Sheets, Google News, Google Maps, Google+, Inbox and more.

After the announcements at Apple WWDC last week, and at Google I/O last month, it’s clear that the days of using Google services on Apple hardware are numbered

Google Now often knows what you want before you do, and it can predict when you should leave your house in order to get to the airport on time and do other helpful tricks. None of this works unless you're using Google's Gmail, Google Search, Google Calendar and Google Maps.
