Why Did Steve Jobs Hate Google?

Thanks to my friends, Osman in borrowing the new biography book Steve Jobs.

In the new book about Steve Jobs, we get some insight on why Steve Jobs hated Google. There’s a quote in the book that tells us all we need to know to answer that question. And here it is: Said Steve Jobs: “Google, you f—ing ripped off the iPhone. Wholesale ripped us off. Grand theft. I will spend my last dying breath if I need to and I will spend every penny of Apple’s $40 billion in the bank to right this wrong.”

Wow. It’s safe to say that Steve Jobs wasn’t the world’s biggest Android fan. And honestly, I don’t think even Google can disagree with the take that they stole the concept of the Android from the iPhone. Steve Jobs continued: “I’m willing to go thermonuclear war on this. They are scared to death because they know they are guilty. Outside of Search, Google’s products — Android, Google Docs — are sh-t.”

Again, there’s a lot of truth to that. Google Search is by far the best search on the planet. But, really, what other Google product would succeed on its own two feet? I can’t think of one.
Why did Steve Jobs hate Google? It sounds like he had good reasons.
