Frog Up or Down

 Loosing Faith Well 2025 is over we are into 2026, and I am leaving Apple, well mostly, I will move across to Google, a place I should never have left. Why, well Apple is not just standing still, its moving backwards against Google and Linux, and I bring Linux into the equasion, simple because I view it as a place for development i so many ways for the construction industry, but Google with their integration if AI in the form of Gemini, is leaps and bounds ahead,  Even if Apple imports Gemini, and I think they will, Apple is to far behind to catch up.
