Say what? “I think that Google is going to buy Apple,” this person says. “It would be a victory for Apple; they’d get major-league partners, money, and engineers. And it would be a victory for Steve—a huge win that lets him leave the stage.”

The speculation about Google has a ring of plausibility. Google CEO Eric Schmidt is now on the Apple board; engineers at the two companies are collaborating on Google Maps for the iPhone; and then there’s the YouTube deal for Apple TV. But is there any reason to think that in such a merger Jobs wouldn’t wind up as CEO—or, at least, chairman of the board?

No, there isn’t. If anything, it seems to me, Jobs’s vaulting ambition, his sense of omnipotence, have only been enhanced by his recent triumphs—and traumas. He has beaten back death, literally and metaphorically. He has returned to his first love, repaired the broken marriage, and made the bond more intimate than ever: Jobs and Apple are one, indivisible. Now, with Gates soon retiring from Microsoft, and with Grove and so many other Valley potentates of his generation having left the scene, Jobs stands alone atop the high-tech heap. This is the position he has longed for all his life. The likelihood of his surrendering it voluntarily is vanishingly close to nil.

FOOLIO =)

ive been big on apple since 2003 =)

If anything Apple will buy google someday. Apple has slowly been taking their time to get the game down and now they are are almost in the right spot to completely take over the electronic industry.

taking their time is an understatement

apple has some big plans in the work...trust me....

have friends that work there....they are becoming a very efficient company...

cutting out contracts with OEMs who cant deliver....hiring planners like crazy.

their retail merchandising guy is a genius. i think the brick and mortars have helped out tremendously

They are taking over the world

Henceforth you shall refer to "The World" as "Planet Google".

i highly doubt.

i dont believe , APPLE is a strong inc.

Google will not buy Apple...But that is a nicely timed bit of disinformation right before the Iphone comes out.

I can see AAPL easily hitting $150.

You think Google Earth was an accident.
