Yeah, you read the title, so let’s not waste our time with any introduction, but dive straight into it......


GOOGLE

  • You might’ve seen this famous meme that Google started in a garage, well that’s true, but do know that the owner of that garage is actually the current CEO of YouTube.

  • Google HQ runs on 100% Renewable Energy; they literally use Goats instead of Lawn-mowers there.

  • There is an actual rule that no employee in Google HQ should be more than 200 ft. from a cafeteria (Food for life...). And it doesn’t stop there, unfortunately, if an employee dies, his/her partner will get half of the wage for the next 10 years.

  • Google is actually younger than Netflix, and the term Google means 1 followed by 100 zeroes (this you might’ve already known).

  • You know, Gmail ignores any number of dots in your mail id. So, if you create a mail id, you also own all the dotted versions of that. This also means xyz@gmail or xy.z@gmail or x.y.z@gmail, they’re all just the same.


APPLE

  • Apple is this huge tech-giant, but do you know that they can’t sell iPhones as “iPhones” in Brazil. Also, the price of their products varies in different countries.

  • Apple is making a whooping 0.11 Million USD per minute, that’s like, by the time you finish reading this post, they would’ve added another 0.33 Mil to their revenue.

  • A single iPhone contains 75 out of the 118 elements, that’s almost freaking one-third of the entire periodic table.

  • Apple is famous for their iPhones, iPads, Macs blah blah blah, but also, they were the first to manufacture a digital color camera.

  • Smoking near an iPhone could possibly void your warranty, well anyways, you shouldn’t be smoking at the first place.

  • Steve Jobs, one of the founders of Apple, was on a fruit-only diet, and that’s why the name “Apple”. Eventually, Steve Jobs sadly died because of Pancreatic Cancer, but the Current CEO Tim Cook offered to donate a part of his liver and Steve refused.

  • Apple spends hours and hours of work in designing their retail boxes, to give a pleasant unboxing experience. They’ve also designed the Apple Pencil in a way that if you just roll it, it will always end up with the Apple logo facing up.


SAMSUNG

  • Samsung is big, like HUGEE, their employee count is more than that of Google, Apple and Nokia combined!!

  • Smartphones are just 20% of Samsung’s business. They started as a company that sells noodles and fishes, and after almost 30 years made their first electronic device.

  • Samsung runs a fully functioning hospital in South Korea, they own a theme park, and also own a professional basketball team over there (like wtf...).

  • Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building, is actually constructed by Samsung C&T (still they struggle to make a tiny powerful processor).

  • No companies in the world that spends as much as Samsung spends for advertising.

  • Just before weeks, Google acquired Android, Samsung denied to buy it.

So, that’s it guys, and if you’re into these cool tech facts, do check out the YouTube channel -> Mrwhosetheboss , it’s one of my favts.
