Apple & Google

This has got to be creating heartburn in Redmond. In a late announcement (at least on the east coast), Google CEO Dr. Eric Schmidt is joining Apple's Board of Directors. Now let's see. The most popular search engine on the planet now will have some influence on the company that has so far dominated digital music (and soon movies as well). And oh, by the way, the CEO of that company happens to be the largest shareholder in Disney/ABC/ESPN as well. Suddenly, having a monopoly on corporate desktops doesn't seem quite so, well, so much a ticket to world domination. Oh my.

I wonder if we'll see any Disney/ABC/ESPN/Pixar movies made on Macs, with lots of product placement in, such as Google being the source of all mans information! ;)
