Cloud Computing could save the planet!
Cloud computing can have a great positive impact on the environment than even electric cars. The trick is to shift from virtual machines to Linux containers. Virtual machines let users run software on cloud services offered by companies like Amazon and Google. But enterprises can significantly go green by opting for containers instead of these virtual machines. Containers are the newest cloud computing technology that fits into the Linux operating system seamlessly. Large software can be run in more efficient ways using containers.

One of the reasons for this is the founders' personal familiarity and their own community being on iPhones. Some others think that the Android Development environment and monetization opportunities aren't as good as iOS. Another common complaint is the fragmented ecosystem of Android. Will we see a switch in the future?
