"I find it rather easy to portray a businessman. Being bland, rather cruel and incompetent comes naturally to me." ~John Cleese

Well, duh!

It's Apple vs. Google in the New Phone Fight - Newsweek: "Once an Apple ally—Eric Schmidt, Google’s CEO, used to sit on Apple’s board of directors—Google is now Apple’s biggest rival."

I love this article. Steve Jobs is portrayed as a control freak, enemy of the people. If that's true, then what does that make Mr. Eric "Do No Evil" Schmidt. He was taking copious notes while sitting on Apple's board of directors. Schmidt left the board, and suddenly Google is producing a computer OS, smartphone OS, a new browser, and who knows what other ideas he pilfered from those board meetings. Very odd for an advertising company. Übergeeks (who believe everything should be free and open) think that's the essence of the free market (as though companies are democracies), but the rest of humanity knows precisely what it was: betrayal and thievery.

There's one thing Google doesn't have that's made Apple successful: Steve Jobs. Maybe Mr. Schmidt can swipe him, too.
