Apple snuggles up to Google with Schmidt joining BOD
In a move that could lead to some fascinating collaboration, Apple just announced that Google CEO Eric Schmidt has joined its board of director. As the battle heats up between Google and Microsoft for online services and between Apple and Microsoft for media (not to mention computing) this is an important move that signals an alliance between the companies. Schmidt is now the eighth member of the Apple board.Google just unveiled its first formal move towards an online office suite Sunday night. Everyone is watching to see how Apple will bring new media content online through iTunes and the company already dominates the portable media market. Could close collaboration between online giant Google and Apple hardware pose the most viable threat yet to Microsoft’s long held personal computing leadership? It certainly seems possible. Google alone is frightening enough for Microsoft. One way or the other, this could mean exciting things in the future. Granted, you’ve got to give a nod to the “Google is Evil” perspective and this budding partnership might end up being awful – we’ll see! I at least can’t help but be intrigued.
I was looking over Apple’s list and there is some really influential names on it’s Board of Directors. Makes me wonder how they get anything done considering the wide range of businesses thery also work, mainly as CEOs. Also I could see some interesting partnerships coming from a Google / Apple front in the way that they both push clean lines and a faniaical fan base.

OK… I’ll bite. This is probably spam since your question has nothing to do with the topic at hand.
But here is a quick and complete walk through for .htaccess. Though its worth to note that if you used the Google website you have for your URL, you’d find this site as the first link.
