   I Prefer to choose Open-Source and les bigger companies. In fact,i just use   
   Windows as a alternative to run programs today,linux/unix based systems are   
   much more pratical and faster. I Also dont trust in Google anymore,since their   
   new privacy agreement things got really unstable,its like every search you did   
   was stored and used against you in the case they wanted. I Still use some of   
   their products,like Orkut (Its stills the best Social network in my country,and   
   the home for debate and discussions) and Plus/Facebook in a very uncompromised   
   way,just to talk with friends and Family. I Was never a Big fan of Apple or   
   Samsung/HTC/All android phone users,always prefered Nokia and their stul,as it   
   always satisfied me. Internet is into a dark future,i feel that some big   
   companies will crumble with the time and something very unpredictable is coming   
   out. We will obviously have innovations and new features/advancements. And it   
   till stay for a long time,although with some censure coming out.
