Google CEO Schmidt Leaves Apple Board
Jerod Venema writes "Today, Google Chief Executive Eric Schmidt resigned from Apple's board of directors, citing conflicts of interest. Apple has released a statement that the company and Schmidt reached a decision to split ties as Google enters new markets that directly compete with Apple's iPhone and Mac operating systems. Schmidt had recused himself of portions of Apple's board meetings when conflicts of interest or anything Google-related arose. But Steve Jobs said Schmidt would have to leave much larger portions of the meetings after Google announced last month that it would enter the operating system sphere."
I thought he was just being dull at meetings...
Given that he was leaving Apple bored
It pays to be obvious, especially if you have a reputation for being subtle.
Yeah, the internal politics of two of the biggest companies in personal computing in the wake of the Google Voice debacle are of absolutely no interest to anyone. What we need is wiring diagrams, dammit.
No kidding!!! What do you say at this point?

No, and don't call me Shirley.

I've always said that fucking Eric Schmidt is a fucking pussy. It's about time Apple realized that.

Now now, your facts don't need to get in the way of his opening of his stupid-hole.

Lies! They make luxury computing products for the discerning customer. ;-)

Dear iPhone Developers,
It has come to Apple's attention that your application does one or more of the following things:
- Appears to be remotely useful
- May be excessively unique
- Competes with something we may or may not release (thanks for the idea though)
As a result of the violation of the terms of use for the market place, your application will be removed, rebranded, and released as an Apple app. Thanks for your $99 and your app. Please buy more of our crap. You know you will.
Sincerely,
Apple's iPhone violation team

Jobs has altered the corporate charter. The Board should pray he does not alter it further.
