The Daily Dose

The year was 2010 and Google brought to market, and then quickly took off market, their very own smartphone which they made and marketed with Motorola in order to compete with the Apple iPhone. This cartoon pokes fun at the inability of Google to dominate every market – something the engineering corporation has long denied to itself. A year later, during the Summer of 2011, Google purchased Motorola, to create their own phones wholly from start to finish.

Google+ (G+) launched in beta during the Summer of 2011, and soon faced the Real Names Issue: Whether or not to permit users to use profiles with pseudonyms, avatars, nicknames, and even real names which do not fit into their Western “First Name, Middle Name, Last Name” format. Following great debate, Google held the line and decided that it would only permit real names that fit their format, even if that means risking people’s privacy, and in some cases their safety.

This editorial cartoon pokes fun at the issue by sampling a classic 1980’s anti-drug commercial, with a spin on Internet privacy.

In April 2011, Google announced rather stunning copyright and fair use policies about content crawled from the web, commonly found on Google services.

This editorial cartoon pokes fun at the policy they maintain, which seems hypocritical to many analysts. The policy is basically summed up as: It’s OK for Google to copy everything and make money from it. But you can’t.

In July 2011, Google launched a beta version (by invitation only) of what it calls Google Plus (G+) – it’s own social network – in order to eat away at facebook’s marketshare / mindshare of the social network market.

This editorial cartoon by laughzilla for thedailydose.com captures the combative, if good-natured, launch and subsequent fight between the two corporations, both trying to position themselves as the biggest and default social network.

Chinese Attack Gmail

China does not attack U.S. Banks – thanks to Obamanomics, they’re not worth it

Gmail – the popular email service from Google, claimed in June of 2011 that it was attacked by hackers in China. The Chinese government officially denied any links to the attack, and accused Google of playing into the hands of American and Western propaganda agents.

This editorial cartoon pokes fun at the attack and the fact that the hackers did not bother to attack easier targets, like American banks, because they were not worth it, thanks to the unsuccessful economic policies of the President Obama White House Administration.
