Summary : Smartphone telah mengubah cara kita memperoleh dan memproses informasi, juga mengubah dunia secara lebih dahsyat. Secara radikal, alat ini mengubah cara belajar, cara berkomukasi, juga menawarkan cara baru dalam menjelajah berbagai tempat. Hiburan dan media diakses lewat cara-cara yang sama sekali baru, mudah, dan tak merepotkan. Ini adalah titik balik, ketika Apple menciptakan personal computer yang muat dimasukkan ke dalam saku, peramban internet dipakai secara luas, dan Google merombak pencarian web serta membesarkan android. Revolusi digital pun dimulai. Apple vs Google merupakan salah satu pertarungan korporat terlama, terpanas, dan paling buka-bukaan pada dekade ini. Melalui buku ini, Fred Vogelstein merekam ide-ide besar yang dilecut di tengah kerasnya kompetisi tanpa akhir. Kedua perusahaan besar yang berebut pasar platform yang sama, mulai dari industri musik, film, iklan online, game, buku, hingga media massa. Apple vs Google bukanlah percekcokan klise antara dua perusahaan kaya biasa, namun perseteruan yang menentukan siapa pengontrol gaya hidup generasi masa depan. "Jika Anda penasaran mengapa Silicon Valley menjadi pusat inovasi global, mulailah dari buku ini." --Nature [Mizan, Bentang, Steve Job, Gadget, Smartphone, Teknologi, Indonesia]

Summary : The first time that Apple, Google and Microsoft found themselves sharing the same digital space was 1998. They were radically different companies and they would subsequently fight a series of pitched battles for control of different parts of the digital landscape. They could not know of the battles to come. But they would be world-changing. This new edition of Digital Wars looks at each of these battles in turn. Accessible and comprehensive, it analyses the very different cultures of the three companies and assesses exactly who are the victors on each front. Thoroughly updated to include information on the latest developments and rising competitors Samsung, it also include a completely new chapter on how China moved from being the assembly plant for music players and smartphones, to becoming the world's biggest smartphone business.

Summary : - Which of Apple, Google and Microsoft had an office with a "drawer of broken dreams" - and what (real) objects lay inside it? - When did Microsoft have the chance to catch Google in making money from search - and who vetoed it? - Why did Google test 40 shades of blue on its users? - How long did outside developers wait before asking to write apps for Apple's iPhone after Steve Jobs announced it? - Who said that Microsoft should have its own music player - and why did it fail? The answers, and much more, can be found in this new book by Charles Arthur, technology editor of The Guardian newspaper of London. Digital Wars starts in 1998, when the internet and computing business was about to be upended - by an antitrust case, a tiny start-up and a former giant rebuilding itself. It looks at what are now the three best-known tech companies, and through the voices of former and current staff examines their different strategies to try to win the battle to control the exploding network connecting the world. Microsoft was a giant - soon to become the highest-valued company in the world, while Apple was a minnow and Google just a startup. By February 10 2012, Apple was worth more ($462bn) than both Microsoft ($258bn) and Google ($198bn) combined. The chance had come from tumultuous battles between the three... To win their battles... Apple used design, the vertical model of controlling the hardware and software, and a relentless focus on the customer to the exclusion of others; Microsoft depended on the high quality of its employees' programming skills and its monopolies in software to try to move into new markets - such as search and music; Google focused on being quick, efficient, and using the power of data analysis - not human "taste" - to make decisions and get ahead of would-be rivals. With exclusive information from interviews with people such as Don Norman, former VP of Apple Computer and Pieter Knook, former SVP of the Mobile Communications Business at Microsoft, and many more current and former staff of the three companies - including one person who has worked for all three - Arthur also addresses: - what the inventors of the hard drive used in the iPod thought it would really be used for - how Apple transformed the smartphone market - which of Android or Apple that forced Microsoft to abandon Windows Mobile - what happened to Microsoft's tablet plans - and much more.
