14 Classic Tech Rivalries
July 17, 2008My Dad sent me this link to 14 Classic Tech Rivalries which I think is very well done. Below are my picks, let me know yours!
Mac versus PC
Sony PlayStation 2 versus Microsoft Xbox
Nintendo versus Sega
Laptop eraserhead versus notebook touchpad
Lotus 1-2-3 versus Microsoft Office Excel
Amazon.com versus your local bookstore
Intel versus AMD
Gates versus Jobs
Inkjet printers versus laser printers
Microsoft Office versus Google Docs
Netscape versus Internet Explorer
Ballmer versus Torvalds
Microsoft versus Google
Cable versus DSL
Local Bookstore (non-corporate) wins over Amazon.
Firefox beats IE and Netscape
Google beats Microsoft (even though that’s totally hypocritical of me to say, and probably an inarguable stance.)
I would take Firefox any day for sure.
