    This connection between the two companies is causing lots of nerdy dumb puns and geeky apple names (ie: Apple Goo, App-le, Goople, Googlepod?). Get it out of your system software now before people start having kernel panic attacks!

    I sure hope having Google's CEO on Apple's board turns out to be better and more productive than having Intuit's CEO on Apple's board. One would think that an Apple board member who is also a CEO of a company who produces software would make great software for Apple. However, Intuit, while it's CEO is on Apple's board, makes absolutely, 100% GARBAGE for OS X. I hope Google will do the oposite and use this new relationship with Apple to better integrate and better compatible-ize Google's products for OS X.



    Intuit should be ASHAMED of their Apple products, ESPECIALLY since their CEO is on Apple's board.

    This feels like a significant move. The guy is a heavy hitter.

    I hope that really happens, but did Intuit's products improve when their CEO joined Apple's board? NO!



    Hey, I just thought of something... maybe Google can develop a personal finance manager - since both Quicken and MS Money suck major @$$.

    It's about time they got around to this...



    Interesting that this is happening now - there's still some time to add stuff to Leopard before it's launched in the fall...

    Or they can call it Gapple or Goople. I don't think they are going to merge. I can see Sun/Apple merger before Google/Apple merger.

    Hmm, I just had a life-altering vision.

    How about merge Nike and Apple.

    Combine Google with the two along with Sony, and you have Goony Nipple.



    It will happen.
