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.
