Google CEO Eric Schmidt joins Apple board – now what?
Google CEO joins Apple board
Valleywag here says:
Six effects of Eric Schmidt joining Apple’s board
After Schmidt talks to that health nut Steve Jobs, free candy in Google snack room is removed, leaving only fresh fruit (including, har har, apples) Apple starts “throwing things against the wall and seeing what sticks” — two relaunches of the Newton later, Schmidt is told to shut up Apple redesigns Google front page using only two words, a button, and one rounded corner Cloud of Smug Apple and Google form cooperative design team to establish industry-wide “glassy effect” specs Maybe Google stops being so damn ugly
I shouldn’t probably be posting about this cos this is not a big news. If the G-Word was not associated with Eric, we wouldn’t be even talking about this for a day! What if he was with Novell or even IBM? No one would have cared!
Everything that Google does should be treated as breakthrough or radical or revolutionary right? Even if it has been already done by Microsoft or someone; even if it’s not a home-brew idea and something which Google just paid and rebranded:)
So, what next?
and the G-Mania continues…

i’m not sure if you understand what a board of director does!! dude Dr. Eric Schmidt is also in the board for Princeton University… doesnt mean he runs the university hahaha!!
dude board of directors are more of an advisory panel and only have cursory control over the vision of the company… and for your information Apple elected Dr. Eric Schmidt to their board and it has nothing to do with Google!!
hey there’s a difference between criticising someone(Google) and stultifying someone!!! do a constructive criticism lest u’ld end up as one who cannot think outside the box. Google is not what it is for nothing.

@Arun – Yeah da, i do know that member of a board is not a “big” thing and in fact I mentioned that we would probably not be talking about it here if only the G word was not associated with this news.
Anyways, constructive critism – Yes. But am actually not criticising anyone here da, just trying to quote the ValleyWag news article.
Anyways, seems like a bad week for me, there is this one guy who thinks I didn’t like Veetaiyadu Velaiyadu cos I am a die-hard Vijay movie fan and now you think i am pro-anti-google… hmm, “Sani bhagavan velaiyadraru” :)
But how about this, Eric was CTO of Sun and is now CEO of Google.
Now, lets put criticism aside and speculate on this:
Google is competing against MSFT and so does Apple. So, is this move more like
or
is it more like

“Sani bhagavan velaiyadraru” hahaha!
well to start with Google is competing against MSFT and so does Apple???
as per all your blog posts… MSFT, YHOO, eBay etc. feels that GOOG is a threat and all that bull shit… GOOG is silently doing what it has to in its own pace…
MSFT feels the threat and is trying to put it down with its upper hand!
MSFT is worried it might loose the comfy monopoly it has! That’s cos this is exactly what MSFT went thorugh when it was budding. Already MSFT has realized it can never compete in the search engine forum and has baced out… now with Y! and GOOG with their mail system it’s already fighting a loosing battle… so they dont wanna slowly loose grounds…
All major players do play it strategically and politically with the media… dude GOOG is just growing… do you know the head count of GOOG? its just 5000+… its a baby!!
and MSFT on the other hand… i guess will have 5000 guys (just speculating) to mow their lawns alone haha!
i am perplexed why Microsofties, be bogged down by a company that’s 1/10 its size… i thought and the only answer could be MSFT is seeing GOOG and has realized that GOOG is just reflecting the same agression that MSFT had when it started!!!
GOOG a newer, youthful and agressive replica of MSFT!

@Arun – Am not in any team at MFST that competes directly with Google – so I really can’t comment on the strategies in place. But I don’t think MSFT is bogged down or freaked our by Google da – it’s just a competitive spirit. The same sprit that made IE kick out Netscape out of the market and the same spirit that is increasing Windows Server market share against *nix everyday.
Yes, agreed. Google is the pioneer of search. And agreed MSFT lags behind. But they have not given up – they are fighting a renewed battle now with the Live strategies headed by none other than Ray Ozzie. Live is still in beta and picking up steam slowly – we should be seeing some good sparks around Live and Vista by end of this year and early next year.
GOOG is newer, youthful and aggressive replica of MSFT
I don’t know if this is a valid statement. Yes, Google is better in search – much better than MSFT and Yahoo. But it has got to prove a lot in the enterprise segment if has to put itself on the same playing field as Microsoft.
There are millions out there who are arguing on this topic like you and me. I think only some of them are actually involved in the battle – I would love be a part of it sometime soon :)

Efficiency of dispatch on forums:
backlinks from forums raise PR a site from 100 to 200 units (depending on subjects)
• Reference ranging: 1000 references with keywords from forums allow a site almost precisely (naturally depending on subjects and a competition) to appear in the first five on 4-6K on direct and above
• Target visitors: for the first week your announcement will read an order of 25-30 persons at each forum. For all time of existence of the announcement it will be seen by 100-200 persons (depending on attendance of a forum).
Practice shows, that dispatch on 1000 forums gives 150 unique, interested in the advertised goods or service of visitors every day in the first week after dispatch. Then the quantity of visitors decreases to 50-100 hosts in day.
Posting possibilities:
• Registration at a forum with editing of a profile of the user
• Dispatch on the forums supporting a guest entrance
• Notices on емайл about answers at a forum or private messages

The car is still under warranty but the dealer is over sixty miles away anybody know how to reset it? Unpluged the battery for a few minutes but no change.
Thanks
