Guess who’s “in bed” with whom?  Google’s CEO Eric Schmidt has been officially elected to sit on Apple’s board of directors.  I bet you didn’t see that coming (we didn’t either).  Schmidt has had quite a bit of experience between his former job at Novell and current job at Google.  Before Novell, he was even the CTO at Sun.  Impressive resume, wouldn’t you say?  In a statement, Schmidt noted his praise for Apple.

“Apple is one of the companies in the world that I most admire,” said Eric Schmidt. “I’m really looking forward to working with Steve and Apple’s board to help with all of the amazing things Apple is doing.”

I can’t tell if this is a conflict of interest or not.  Although Apple and Google are in completely different niches of the technology industry, they’re still both in the same industry.  I guess this means there’s no GooglePC after all, huh?
