Yours truly on the obvious (today in Mac360). Google is now Apple’s enemy, too.
Apple, Microsoft, and Google form a trinity of enemy combatants. If the adage ‘the enemy of my enemy is my friend’ is valid, is Google Apple’s friend or enemy? I say enemy.
Google CEO Eric Schmidt resigned his seat on Apple’s board of directors after gaining knowledge of Apple’s iPhone plans. Before he left, Google announced the Chrome browser, the Chrome OS, and Android OS—free competitors to Apple products (and Microsoft). What’s the danger? Is it not obvious?
Apple prospers and disrupts traditional markets the old fashioned way—by building a better mousetrap. Google, on the other hand, is disrupting both Microsoft’s and Apple’s lucrative commercial markets by building a free mousetrap.
Schmidt should have been kicked out of Apple years ago.
