If $AAPL bears are right, why would $GOOG and $MSFT make costly acquisitions to copy vertical ecosystem strategy? http://anandabits.com/blog/unlocking-the-value-in-aapl-4/ …
@anandabits I strongly suspect one of the reasons Rubin got canned was that he wanted Android to be more vertical

@monkbent that could very well be. I don't suggest current Google management believes or fears this.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@monkbent Just that it was part of the motivation at the time. Rubin wanting more vertical approach would support that. -
@anandabits yeah, I can agree with that. Also think Page had a bit of Jobs wanna-be-ism, but he's gotten over it -
@monkbent wouldn't surprise me. If so, good for Google's sake he's over it. Neither he nor they are suited for that approach. -
@anandabits agree. Microsoft a much better model ;) -
@monkbent yep. A lot in common there. Even more ruthless I think. Clearly little respect for IP.
