God how I wish this type of stuff would coming up on HN, and not because I feel that HN is going down the tubes or whatever is the most common complaint about this site - the real reason is that I really am somewhat of a gossip junkie, and I end up reading these stories, and then feeling mildly unsatisfied at the end after finishing them, at the time wasted and the knowledge not gained.

To summarize Google's fight against Apple: "When Eric Schmidt slumps his shoulders and says that Steve Jobs is 'the best CEO in the world,' it's not because he's shaking with fear. He's just being nice."

Google may do no evil, but they definitely don't pull their punches.If Apple has iAds, Google has GAds in their hands :p

So did Novell have NAds in their hands? ;-)

No, no, the correct company to choose for that joke is Nokia! Argh you've ruined everything!

My internal monologue, just now:

"Wow, I can't believe he posted that on Hacker News."

"Wow, I can't believe that's getting upvoted on Hacker News!"

"I'm totally upvoting that."
