In 2012, Apple will hold its biggest conference ever. It will introduce their new groundbreaking technology that will affect everyone in the world... and they will announce that they are officially changing their name to Skynet.

I can realistically see that happening

Me too... Then Google will become an underground resistance group opperating on a wambo submarine and the wars will begin...

OT: I can see google. But I think they would be a more utopian society than anything. They respect stuff from the free-er nations and shun the other *cough [small]China[/small] *cough*

"And He said 'Google', and it was good."
That will be in the google-bible.

The answer is none-of-the-above. We are slowly becoming one big McWorld

 

[Canadamus Prime]

Ah they're all just pawns a hidden power with it's own agenda.

 

[Rayansaki]

Google could destroy the internets, bringing the new dark ages to the world. Google.

 

[Warchiefwill]

All companies will rise in a super awesome proxy/world war. They'll be a range of factions within each company, such as absolutists(they only want just the one company they work for to rule the world) and Unionists (they are willing to share powers with other companies)...that would be cool.

Dibs on being leader of the 'We Don't What Any Software/Hardware Developer Company Ruling Us!'

W.D.W.A.S.H.D.C.R.U....lol

2011 - March: Microsoft announces X-Box 720, an all cloud based gaming system

2011 - May: Sony after running a bitter anti-cloud based media circus announces it's own new cloud / bluray hybrid system.

2011 - June: Nintendo scoffs and mocks both companies.

2013 - July: Apple announces need breed of iKatja, the itrendy market segment quickly jump onto it.

2014 - September: Apple beings a massive push for the new iKatja into government service.

2015 - January: Microsoft suffering from massive losses after it's Windows 10 O/S loses ground to Apple beings to push a new design based on the X-Box 720 for home / office PC use codenamed NewPC.

2015 - October: Microsoft is approached by Google about combining the NewPC with Googles own services, Microsoft agrees.

2022 - July: After 7 years of increasingly close work Google and Microsoft announce a merger.

2028 - October: Google/Microsoft announces the purchase of Sony, stating that along with previous purchases such as those of IBM, Cisco, and others the company is ready for a new fight.

2030 - January: Apple announces it's new product, no-one other then a few die hard fans care.

2033 - December: The new world order is formed by Google/Microsoft, no-one resists because all the weapons are run by Windows 19.

You forgot some details:

2015 - Google is banned from China. Microsoft is forced to run chinese Pcs without google services. Nintendo is chosen to that partnership locally instead.

2022 - On the news of the merger Microsoft remains alone not only in china but in other asian countries.

2025 - With Apple and Sony downfall Nintendo buys many of their subsidiary companies in China, Japan and Korea.

2030 - Nintendo buys Apple after the losses over its last developed technology. Incorporates both companies technologies for new products.

2034 - The new Order created the previous month by Google/Microsoft collapses because all weapons were infected by a virus created by Nintendo, since they were built in China and other Asian countries by companies owned by Nintendo (yes Microsoft will remain cheap looking for low paid specialized workers in eastern Asia) who saw it coming.

Google. They put out great products (except for an official Blogger app for Android...seriously, wtf?!) and do it in a fair way. People love Google. Was there ever a time where people loved Microsoft? Not that I can remember.

I think the only people who actually feel Apple could take over the world are the "geniuses" in their retail stores.

 

[chozo_hybrid]

They already spy on us with Googlemaps, it's only a matter of time...

 

[Ghost]

Viacom National Amusements PLC.

 

[soren7550]

It's going to be either Microsoft or Apple.

But if we want to drag in fictional companies, dataDyne will no doubt take over the world...unless Joanna Dark comes on by to stop them, along with the rest of the Carrington Institute! >

I can realistically see that happening

And that is why we must all fear Apple.

FEAR THEM!

But we already predicted this Doc Brown Hulibub. We should do something now before it's too late...

What are you talking abou-

*The wall explodes*

WHAT THE!?

"Come with me if you want to live!"

Arnold!? What are you doing here!?

 

[Snow Fire]

Voted for Nintendo, but Wal-mart is the largest corporation in the world I believe, probably pulling more money in revenue than the GDP of quite a few nations combined. If anyone could purchase the world, and then enslave the entire human population, I see it as them.

 

[Yureina]

Beware of Google.

 

[dante brevity]

People saying Google are missing an important fact: Google is a worldwide technology corporation with the governing mantra "Don't be evil" That kind of schizophrenia is bound lead to Google's destruction.

Jobs, he has no problem with evil...

 

[Estocavio]

The Google Corporation Marines wont let anyone stand in their way!

 

[Nouw]

Google or Microsoft. Also, thanks Onyx Oblivion for that lovely comic strip you posted.

 

[Palindromemordnilap_v1legacy]

I reckon Apple. Isaac Asimov got it right when he called his book iRobot
