From the article:

Quote:
Last week, Google's Mr Schmidt was appointed to President Obama's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, a 20-member group that will help formulate policy in a number of areas "where understanding of science, technology and innovations is key to strengthening the economy".


Meaning he might be safer than most ;)

Tell you what, if I had to resign from one, I'd probably leave the Apple board sooner - it's just on a different scale to the might of Google :lol:

And at least you wouldn't have to kiss Job's ring :twisted: :lol: ;)

I seriously doubt that Apple and Google have violated rules in the same business segment.

Google are too dominant in some areas but that does not apply to Apple. The iPod may be dominant but people have opted with their money and there are alternatives.
