Dr. Eric Schmidt Resigns from Apple’s Board of Directors

A little OT.But I think it is really, really cool that a very technical person is acknowledged to be a capable CEO. Many companies still consider technical people incapable to be leaders (just by definition). Agree some techies may not have the desire or the social skills to lead but not all techies are like that.

Fake Steve Jobs must be ready to explode right around now.

I wonder if the GV thing was a result of internal politics with the aim being to force Schmidt to resign. I mean it seemed a bit too heavy handed even for Apple. Either way he had to go.<p>Hopefully this will mean it's 'game on' for full competition in the mobile space.

What took them so long?

Now tell me that this has nothing to do with the recent events (the Google Voice removal from the App Store).
