as mentioned in a previous post, this illustration for bloomberg businessweek had an alternate version. the specifics of the story changed, so the specifics of the illustration ended up changing as well, however, i liked the direction the first one one was going, so what the hell, i finished it up. i am undecided which version i prefer.

more technology mayhem from businessweek, this time it’s about google tightening their control over the android operating system. the article is first running online, but i am looking forward to seeing how it comes out in the magazine. should be fun (a future post will include an alternate version!).
