Google Pulls Apple from Search Results

By Brian Briggs follow me on Twitter.

 

Mountain View, CA – In response to Apple pulling the Google Voice application from the iPhone App Store, Google has removed all search results leading to Apple.com from its index. Google is also redirecting searches for “iPhone” and “app store” to the IMDb.com page for Payback.

The official explanation was that the Google Voice app duplicated functions on the iPhone, but many think the rejection order came from AT&T. The application would allow users to make calls and send SMS messages for free using the app, threatening the profits of AT&T.

A little satirical piece on Google’s response to Apple (Apple recently pulled the Google Voice app from their App Store).

Definitely check out the link at the bottom of the story which leads to Google’s response to the article.
