Hmm.. Im wondering if Steve is going to start training him for his position.. hmm..

I'll be curious to see what the stocks do after this announcement, even in the light of everybody suing Apple right now. Although I have noticed that Apple stock seems to get hit or gain a week after announcements.. so we'll see

Thank God it's Schmidt and not Larry or Sergey. Did you guys hear the story about how Larry and Sergey were fighting about who gets a bigger bed on their private jet? Schmidt resolved it by telling them they can each have a bed as big as they want.

Dammed google, as long as they do not start bundling Google crapware with Apple Computers im sure it will be fine. Looks like Googles getting a foot in everywhere, Dell, Apple, Microsoft, HP etc.

Still as I despise the ammount of spyware Google do I think ill just try not to remember hes on the board. Anyway this is not bad for Microsoft really, they make software which will sell well as long as they continue to make decent software.

As for Apple and Google bieng the two most inovative I would not agree, they market and design thier products well however they do not really innovate. Google buys many of its more unique ideas, most of thier products are copys but very good products which function fantaistically and perform better than mst competitors. Apple on the otherhand is much more innovative and certainly very good at naming products and making them appear unique. Though I think its mainly the image and marketing that makes them both look good. Apple is a much better company than google though.

Anyway a bit disapointed but still he hopefully will not have much influence, once he buys Apple I hope he does not change the name though

neye:, then again Google is a more trusted nd well known brand apparently

neye: .
