For IP if you wish.

I do believe that we have a tiff going.  Honor among.....

According to The Wall Street Journal:
"Apple announced that Eric Schmidt, CEO of Google, is resigning from  
Apple's board, a position he has held since August 2006.

In a statement, Apple CEO Steve Jobs said that "as Google enters more  
of Apple's core businesses, with Android and now Chrome OS, Eric's  
effectiveness as an Apple Board member will be significantly  
diminished, since he will have to recuse himself from even larger  
portions of our meetings due to potential conflicts of interest."

In May, Schmidt said he had no plans to resign from Apple's board,  
despite reports of a federal inquiry into whether board ties between  
the companies violate antitrust laws."
