Steve Jobs declared "thermonuclear war" against Google's Android OS which now dominates the mobile operating system. Apple and Google publicly announced their new OS versions, iOS 7 and Android 4.4 KitKat respectively. So which of the two will be dominating in the 2014 "thermonuclear war"?

Steve Jobs and Larry Page: Thermonuclear War

While both companies are not launching nuclear bombs on each other's headquarters, Steve Jobs aimed to destroy the Android OS even if he needs to spend all of Apple's savings.

"I'm willing to go thermonuclear war on this. 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. I am going to destroy Android because it's a stolen product," Steve Jobs statement from Walter Issacson's authorised biography of Steve Jobs, quoted by HuffingtonPost.

Google's co-founder and CEO Larry Page was unmoved by the dying words of Steve Jobs against Android OS.

"How well is that working?" Page simple answer to Jobs' main objective.

Larry Page also compared Google with Apple defining what should technology be doing to help lives easier among consumers.

"You know, we always have these debates: We have all this money, we have all these people, why aren't we doing more stuff? You may say that Apple only does a very, very small number of things and that's working pretty well for them. But I find that unsatisfying. I feel like there are all these opportunities in the world to use technology to make people's lives better. At Google we're attacking maybe 0.1 per cent of that space. And all the tech companies combined are only at like 1 per cent. That means there's 99 per cent virgin territory," Page's explained, quoted by 9to5mac.

"If you're not doing some things that are crazy, then you're doing the wrong things," Larry Page defended crazy things leading to YouTube, Chrome and Android which concerned investors.
