    On this news, GOOG jumped over 1% in after-hour trading.



    Just thought I'd mention it.

    Now that Schmidt can't spy on Apple as a member of Apple's Board of Directors, his value to Google is a lot less.

    I truly fail to understand how people believe that every phone put out by another company is somehow a clone of the iPhone. They all have a touchscreen and buttons. I don't know many ways to get around that. Google could make a phone with a teleportation feature, yet it would still be a copy of Apple's ideas.

    Guess you need to see it again. Android pre-iPhone:







    Now, most smartphones are mostly touchscreen. They mostly look like the iPhone. Pre iPhone, they looked liked this:







    Apple, very clearly, changed the game. Pretending like it's not true or the delusion of fanboys just makes you very obviously wrong.

    My original question still stands:



    Does Larry get to be the creepy spy-on-our-users guy now?



    Yea I guess he gets to say things like - privacy is no big deal, just change your name if you get into trouble.

    Not saying that they didn't. I'm just saying that anything that Google adds to their phone is a copy of Apple according to some people. I own a Droid X, and I truly don't see how it's like an iPhone other "looking like it" with the touchscreen. The software is completely different. They're different phones with different features. Which is why I'll be getting a Verizon iPhone as soon as my contract expires.

    C'mon, Mercedes are ugly. A McLaren would be much, much cooler.

    Perhaps I'm being too simplistic but I think the reason for the change is obvious: Google would like to make peace with Apple, and that's never gonna happen with Schmidt calling the shots. Yeah business is business, and perhaps Jobs and Schmidt do have coffee once in a while, but Steve is never gonna forget how an Apple board member betrayed him.

    I thought you thought markets weren't often terribly rational, but sentiment-driven?



    So, what would be your point?

    ... and a rear aircraft-cooled engine







    Then there's the old joke:



    The man goes into the auto dealership and says he wants to buy a new car for his girlfriend.



    The salesman says: "Why not buy a Kaiser and surprise her?"



    Man: "No".



    Salesman: "Then buy a Frasier and amaze her".



    Man: "Nah, I think I'll get a Tucker!"





    Here's one of my all-time favorites.









    A high-school friend's dad was restoring one of these -- could do 100 mph in 2nd gear.







    Actually it was the Phaeton -- but the pic doesn't show the headers:
