Google On Apple’s Board

I know it is common practice for the CEO of one company to sit on the board of directors of another company but it is still weird to see Google sitting on Apple’s board.

Schmidt's appointment set off chatter about linking the Google search engine to iTunes, Apple's online music service--reinforcing Apple's pre-eminence in a category where Microsoft is seeking a grip. That would also have broader implications for the entertainment industry, an industry repeatedly put on the defensive by both Apple and Google.
