Interesting quotes from
a recent interview with Google Chairman Eric Schmidt:
“The Android-Apple platform fight is the defining fight in the industry today."
“These patent wars are death."
“Apple should have kept with our maps.”
On Microsoft: “It’s a well-run company, but they don’t make state-of-the-art products.”
In the interview Eric Schmidt repeated an earlier opinion that the four leading companies in tech are Amazon, Apple, Facebook, and Google.
Question: If you had to be a CEO again, would you choose Apple, Amazon or Facebook?
Schmidt: Which one has the most cash? That would be Apple.
Twelve years ago the top-company list might have included Yahoo, America Online, Microsoft, Cisco, Dell, and Intel, but not any of Eric Schmidt's current "Gang of Four." Google and Facebook weren't even public companies back then, and Apple could have been bought with Microsoft's petty cash. How times have changed.
