Much Ado About Schmidt?

By Mark Evans | Published: August 30, 2006

So Google CEO Eric Schmidt has joined Apple's board of directors. Count on the blogosphere to put two and two together to five…or six or seven. Does this portend an Apple-Google mega-merger? Will Google provide iTunes with even more momentum to sell millions of those white earphones…er, I mean iPods? People have to remember Silicon Valley is an incestuous, tightly-woven spider's web where everyone knows everyone else. Speculate all you want about what Schmidt's appointment could man but don't let your imaginations get too carried away. What I can tell you is Apple has an intriguingly divergent board – ranging from environmentalist/ex-U.S. VP Al Gore to J. Crew CEO Millard Drexler to Mr. Jobs.

    Mark, it might also be interesting to note two other Apple directors play advisor/director roles at Google: Al Gore has served as a senior advisor to Google and Arthur D. Levinson, Chairman and CEO of Genentech also serves on the Google board. That's 3 Google advocates on Apple's seven person board.
