Dr. Eric Schmidt Resigns from Apple's Board of Directors
This is MAJOR!
MSNBC story reports that he was nodged out and according to Jobs, "he had to recuse himself from too many meetings...."
I always believed Eric was a google mole based on the timeline that google product followed Apple's release of the iPhone (G1) and Safari for pc (Chrome). Now with the FCC investigating, it's everyman for themselves.

Probably should have done it awhile ago. The FTC was already investigating this they said earlier this year as well.

He cited "conflict of interest"... This was pretty obvious. Maybe we'll see a heated battle now because of the GoogleVoice issue

Why Google Is Stealing Apple's Ideas - Forbes.com
Calling a spade a spade, Forbes magazine simply calls Google's past actions as stealing. They longer innovate and the article cites (much like we've speculated here) that google can't find a hit outside their original web search business. Google is the new microsoft in my opinion.

Microsoft has Windows and Xbox. One more than Google.

This is a good thing. More competition and more products to come.

Interesting.
Hopefully Android will go more mainstream.

Yes, until the upcoming Android powered Gbox arrives
