In an interview with TIME, CEO Eric Schmidt offered some comments regarding Apple Computer, Inc.
You recently joined Apple’s board. What interests you about the company?
Schmidt: This is a personal thing. If you’re a director, it’s a personal commitment. Apple is an innovator in its own space. Apple is engaged in probably the most remarkable second act ever seen in technology. Its resurgence is simply phenomenal and extremely impressive.
Would you like to see more partnering between Google and Apple?
Schmidt: Well of course, but we’re already partnered with them.

Muhhhaaaaahhhhhaaaaa
I wonder what he’s referring to, when he states “we’re already partnered with them”.
Tell me something I don’t know.
Old news. This is an excerpt from a report that came out last week.
It might be old news, but to have the head of such a golden child like Google to praise Apple so glowingly just adds to the new Apple halo that has appeard under Steve’s leadership.
This truly is the second golden age of Apple and it’s clear that Microsoft has been clearly caught off guard in a culture of the 90’s where Apple has just sped right by.
He’s been reading iCon, apparently.
I blame Steve Jobs for this remarkable second act.
Thanks a lot Steve…

Can’t wait to see Google release a free Office suite for consumers on the Leopard platform when it arrives, shipped inside all Macs. Writely is a great product.
Steve Jobs is changing the conversation in the tech industry.
Apple’s been partnered with Google since it put the Google bar in Safari.
Move along people.
It’s all Steve Jobs fault!
Thank you Mr. Jobs!
How about letting us remove the damn google field?
I already use google via sogudi so why would i need an additional field to do instant searching? Does anyone know of a way to remove it without modifing the nib?
Yeah, but what about their customer service?
“Yeah, but what about their customer service?”
Apple’s customer service is best in its industry.

Could google be working with apple on a next gen OS for PCs? I can see it.
“Could google be working with apple on a next gen OS for PCs? I can see it.”
No you can’t, you’re blind.
Apple is already partnered with Google via the built-in Google search inside Apple’s Safari web browser.
Apple probably makes serveral million a quarter due to using Google as the default, built-in search.
“How does that work?” you may be asking.
Answer:
1. Google pays Apple $.xx per search used in Safari.
2. Google gets people using it’s default search engine and lands those people on Google search result pages.
3. On those pages are Google ads. Ahhh… Has the light gone off yet? If not, proceed to 4.
4. People click on those Google ads, and once those are clicked on, Google makes bank.
Google is shelling out pennies, but reaping great rewards in doing so.

Emil: “How about letting us remove the damn google field?”
Why don’t you look in the damn View Menu!
Google likes Apple because they don’t want to kill them unlike a certain homicidal, perpetually damp monkey boy.
Peterson’s just pissed because Apple ranks dead last in the JD Power survey of CRRRRRAAAAAZZZZZEEEEE people.
“perpetually damp”
ha!
I’d just like to thank all the Apple employees (not just Steve) who work so incredibly hard to impress me with new hardware and software to keep me as a customer and be proud to use their products.
Whether I am awake or sleep, work hard or am lazy, these guys and gals work out what I want before I even know, work out how to build it, work out how to package it, they leave it to Steve to present it, then when I buy it Apple shares go up.
Magic word ‘all’: as in thank you all.
yeah, you tell them brother, don’t forget the trusted computing rant also!!!!!! that will tell them!
Perpetually damp just sounded slightly less creepy than perpetually moist.
Steve Ballmer – Damp in the winter because it is perpetually raining in the NW – Damp in the summer because he has an excitable personality and enormous sweat glands.
Perpetually damp. or moist. or gooey. Probably some new type of fungus growing on him.
“Probably some new type of fungus growing on him.”
True. But certainly not a fun guy.
