Wow, Apple actually praising Google? 2003 seems like a long time ago.


The CEO of Google was on Apple's Board of Directors till 2009. I'm guessing 2008 was the year which relationship soured.


After Android changed from being Blackberry-like to being iPhone-like, Eric Schmidt stopped attending Apple board meetings where the iPhone was discussed due to conflicts of interest.

I'm sure that this is where Steve Jobs' "Android is stolen" idea comes from.


I really miss the old Google. The purity of their vision and the frequent, crazy projects that came out of Google Labs. At one point it seemed like every good idea was coming from Google.

Ever since Larry Page's chat with Steve they really haven't been the same.


What "chat" was this? (Genuinely curious.)
