Behind the sour contention among Apple and Google—and how it’s reshaping the way in which we predict approximately technology

The upward push of smartphones and drugs has altered the enterprise of constructing pcs. on the middle of this modification are Apple and Google, businesses whose philosophies, leaders, and advertisement acumen have steamrolled the contest. within the age of Android and the iPad, those companies are locked in a feud that will play out not only on the market yet within the courts and on displays round the world.
    
Fred Vogelstein has stated in this competition for greater than a decade and has infrequent entry to its significant gamers. In Dogfight, he is taking us into the workplaces and board rooms the place corporation dogma interprets into ruthless company; at the back of outsize personalities like Steve Jobs, Apple’s now-lionized CEO, and Eric Schmidt, Google’s govt chairman; and contained in the offers, proceedings, and allegations that mildew the way in which we speak. Apple and Google are poaching every one other’s staff. They bid up the cost of every one other’s acquisitions for spite, they usually forge alliances with significant avid gamers like fb and Microsoft in pursuit of industry dominance.
     
Dogfight reads like a novel: vivid nonfiction with never-before-heard info. This is greater than a narrative approximately what units will exchange our phones and laptops. It’s approximately who will regulate the content material on these units and the place that content material will come from—about the way forward for media in Silicon Valley, long island, and Hollywood.

Sample text

The sudden imposition of electric field between two electrodes can lead to the formation of sparks because of ionization of gas molecules situated between the two electrodes. A large number of electrons are liberated and electric current flows between the two electrodes. There is a simultaneous luminous emission known as electric arc. Generally, under normal conditions, the breakdown electric strength for air is of the order of 30 kV/cm. In miniaturized systems, much higher electric field can be produced without the generation of an electric arc.

The primary advantages of microscale devices in these applications are good match with the scale of biological structures and potential for placing multiple functions for chemical analysis on a small area, that is, the concept of a “chemistry laboratory on a chip”. Flow rate in biological and chemical microdevices are usually much slower than those in heat transfer and chemical reactor microdevices. 2 Multiphase Microfluidics In multiphase microfluidic systems, interfacial forces dominate over inertia and gravity.

This phenomenon is due to the rarefaction effect. 6 10–5 10–4 10–3 Separation × pressure (m-atm) 10–2 Electric field strength for dielectric breakdown of a parallel-plate capacitor in air Introduction 17 the distance between the electrodes, the majority of collision takes place between the gas and the electrode surface and not within the gas. This inhibits the formation of electric discharge in the gas. 20) q(t) = ????CP dt where ???? is the density and CP is the specific heat at constant pressure.
