Google CEO Eric Schmidt elected to Apple’s board of directors

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?
