Fallouts with Apple and censorship in China: New book lifts the lid on the secretive world of Google Excerpt: Eric Schmidt, the man who eventually took the job as chief executive until last week, was also installed as a board member at Apple. Problems came when Google bought and started work on the Android mobile phone system. Apple saw it as a direct threat to iPhone and relationships broke down with Mr Jobs feeling betrayed by the pair. When he saw features like the 'pinch-and-zoom' control to look at websites and images during a visit to Mountain View, California, the home of 'Googleplex', he was apparently furious. He believed the best ideas from the iPhone had been stolen. Mr Schmidt stayed on the board at Apple but Mr Jobs somehow managed to keep the development of the iPad hidden from him. 'Apple didn't enter the search business, so why did Google get into the phone business?' he said according to the Times. He also described Google's motto of 'don't be evil' as 'bulls**t'. More: dailymail.co.uk Wish Jobs would have hidden the iPhone from them as well. Had he, Android would be an asterisk in history books by now.
