My reply on their site, i think Jason Schwarz got a lot wrong, mixed up things.. sujective bad written article, imo:<p>"On the other hand, i heard that Apple looks to replace google by bing, don't know if this is true, but if it is, it shows who is scared and who is not.
What you don't see with your view of "iphone + itunes + appstore" is that by the end of the year it will be "dozens of android phones, tablets, ebookreaders, mp3 players + android market + youtube + gmail + gdocs". In my oppinion, Apple is in the position to lose market share on the mobile market (which analysts also predict) and has a reason to be afraid of. They have been the major (like 99%) player in this area for years and now fear to lose some ground, which is just natural.
You make a lot of assumptions and mix things up (google search vs. facebook, d'oh?) to tell your theory, but all in all, i wouldn't agree.
Also, afaik Schmidt left the board because of conflicting interests, which just seems natural for me. If you would be Apple, you wouldn't want to have such a competitor in your board, would you?
Beforehand it was: Ok, Google brings good apps, ads, search, maps to our platform, thats great. With Android and Chrome OS this obviously changed.
Then again, if GOOG shares go down, i'll be happy to buy them ;)"
