in Google Nexus 7 seen as threat to Microsoft Surface, not Apple's iPad Comment by artificialintel June 2012

All I know is that I get nervous when marketing execs start running too much of the show. They're not selling handbags. At least, not yet.

in Phil Schiller expected to increasingly become Apple's 'public face' Comment by artificialintel June 2012

They should have called it the iPad 2x, because it's similar to the iPad 2 but with twice the linear resolution. Also, it would avoid confusion with the apps labeled HD. And really, 'x' is the coolest letter in the alphabet.

Google isn't really worried about the legal threats to android, because they don't make any money from android. They make money from ads on android - and other phones - so all they care about is that they have good ad-serving access. They have to …
