Blogpost 8: Google and Apple

When we are talking about the largest companies in the world we often think about Coke, Google, Samsung, Apple, Mcdonalds and more when it comes internationally. And by searching and reading through articles, I've discovered that two of the said companies are very powerful and creating stuff that could make or break the Earth. In this blogpost I'm going to show you the articles and theories that are connected that I've read.
According to an article by Jolie Lee entitled  "What's with those Google barges? Theories abound" from usatoday.com it says that there are barges on San Francisco Bay and Maine's Portland Harbor, floating barges that looks like the fictional largest company in Disney Pixar's film Wall-e, the Buy N Large. It also showed a connection from the film since the code for those barges are in binary codes. And the thery goes on.

Moving on, as the article says, "The San Francisco barge belongs to a company by the name of By and Large LLC, perhaps an homage to the fictional company Buy N Large in the animated film WALL-E" You see, even the barges belong to a company named By and Large LLC, not exactly as Buy N Large but it's really close enough.

For this first article, I can say that this isn't impossible to happen since Google is one of the largest company in the world from, search engine, android operating system and more. They have enough money, and power to make the impossible possible.

Moving on, another article by Matt Novak entitled  "What if Google is Building WALL-E Robots Under the Name "By And Large" from gizmodo.com it says that it is still a mystery of what Google's real plan for the barge, for the floating, barge and as we can see the partner of Google is the By N Large LLC as mentioned above, it's a shell company, together with Google they are building something super secret. And by looking at this photo from Disney Pixar's film Wall-E, Buy N Large had a gasoline station that fuels the robots:

As the article says, "Only time will tell. But if Google has plans to set up an artificial island nation in international waters, I'd say the least they can do is build us a WALL-E or two to help clean up the mess we've been left with here on land." Well, I hope that Google and By And Large LLC's intention is to really just clean and fix the mess in the Earth soon and not trick the mind of the people that in the end will be the cause of the destruction of the Earth like what happened in Disney Pixar's film Wall-E.

For the second article, I can say that it is connected to the last article that I've read about Apple because in the end, Matt Novak said that "Though I'm sure if Google is building WALL-E, Apple's EVE shouldn't be too far behind." this is why I conducted a research for articles about EVE.

An article by Alex Billington entitled "Apple's Designer Actually Helped Design Wall-E's Eve Robot" from firstshowing.net it says that the designer of EVE is from Apple, Jonathan Ive, the great designer of Mac, iPhone, iPhone and other Apple's products. It says that Jonathan Ive helped Andrew Stanton, the director of Wall-E design EVE.

As the article says, "I wanted Eve to be high-end technology - no expense spared - and I wanted it to beseamless and for the technology to be sort of hidden and subcutaneous," Andrew Stanton, Wall-E's director, told Fortune. Well, there's no wonder who was the designer of EVE, or there's no doubt who designed EVE since EVE looks like the Apple's Products like the color of the latest white iPhones, Mac, and iTouch.

In summation, everyone wants and dares to make the possible impossible in every ways, there's no exact time of when will this really happen. But there are possibilities since the technology is really advance now. And it would be awesome if Google and Apple will work together not just to fix the mess in Earth but to provide it before bad things happen like what happened in Wall-E, because I believe that prevention is always better than cure.
