resigned, again amidst much speculation<\/a>, earlier this summer. So why would Google be announcing an Apple notebook? Don’t they have their own people to do that?<\/p>\nNo need to get too excited, as it’s only an announcement and we’ve seen announcements and retractions before now that times are hard in the economy. Schmidt has an optimistic view of the economy, he thinks the worst is over:\u201cI think the new normal is now,\u201d the Google CEO said at a briefing with reporters, at the Allen & Co media and technology conference in Sun Valley, Idaho.<\/p>\n
So is this another attempt at the big Kill Microsoft Plan<\/em> that many suspect makes Google and Apple such staunch allies? Schmidt didn’t want to get into that:
\n\u201cI don\u2019t want to talk about Microsoft,\u201d he said, and went on to say that Google did not have any particular goals for Chrome to take market share in the PC business. \u201cWe actually don\u2019t look at market share at all,\u201d said Schmidt.<\/p>\nSure you don’t, honey. That’s why you’re the CEO of one of the biggest companies on the planet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
