Google I/O - We want to be Apple too!

NED: Do you think it was too much with the “help you till you’re dead” thing?

CHRIS: Too much? Not enough I’d say. You really think Google is gonna stop when you’re dead?

GHOST: Oh shit, I’m dead. How is Google in the afterlife?

CHRIS: Google is here to help. Forever and always. Now check out these coffins. They’re all in various shades of spirit-vortex blue.
