Google and Apple working Together?

At Morgan Stanley's Technology Conference in San Francisco Eric Schmidt, Google's Chief Executive Officer, said that Google and Apple are working together on "many more" new projects.

In response to questions about Google and Apple working on a tablet computer, Schmidt also stated that the companies are "doing more and more things together. We have similar goals, similar competitors."

It is worth pointing out that Schmidt is a member of Apple's Board of Directors.

If anything is going to keep Steve Ballmer awake at night it's statements like these. Vista is decidedly a flop and people are switching to Mac at the rate of 9,000 per day.

I think Google and Apple teaming up to improve their product lines will turn out to be the beginning of the end for Microsoft, if that wasn't already Vista. ;)
