I am not sure how the gurus in the tech world are going to take this, but I was surprised hearing that Eric Schmidt CEO of Google is no more amongst Apple’s Board of Directors. Of course we can add all sorts of speculations behind this resignation but the obvious reason is Google forcing itself in direct competition with Apple’s business. How? Well the search giant has stepped on its Mobile ventures with Android and furthering the damage with plans of Chrome OS. Now isn’t that lessening Eric’s significance in the board? Or is Steve Jobs thinking that Eric is hijacking Apple’s ideas to Google? He joined in Apple’s board in August 2006, back then of course Google was all about Web. But the sudden burst in innovation and expansion in platform has alarmed every one around. I guess Eric has a lot more to handle as Google CEO and he can use the time he saves from here to bring in better things for Google. Does he want to gulp down more of what Apple has for the future?
