Google CEO on Apple's board



Any thoughts about Google's CEO being on Apple's board now? I think it can only be good. A united front against the bohemouth Microsoft gives you strength in numbers.

I never understood how you sitting on multiple boards for different companies is not a conflict of interest. Where do you stand when an issue regarding your other company comes up in board meetings? What if the Apple board said they wanted to do a streaming video site like Google's. Do they ask the guy from Google to leave the room?

A very good observation, Stitch. I think it is hard to decide when a person from another company can and can't join a board. This is definitely on the edge for the very reason you point out. It may indicate a much closer relationship than people think.

Gents,

In my opinion, this will allow Apple and Google to leverage intrinsic synergistic opportunities, thereby capitalizing on previously apparent yet untapped correlations between the two companies' ecclectic portfolios, which merely require the proper, inherent execution!

Wouldn't you say, Lo? Stitch?

Le, did you go to one of those psychobable automatic BS generator sites for your last post?
