Mr. Gimbel Takes Mr. Macy To Court

with 2 comments

Last August Mr. Macy (Eric Schmidt of Google) and Mr. Gimbel (Apple’s Steve Jobs) had to part ways. It was ostensibly for antitrust reasons — the 2 competing companies had common board members, including Schmidt himself. Today we found out another reason: Apple has filed suit against mobile handset maker HTC (JC Penny?), who just happens to make many of the Android-based phones that Google’s so fond of.

I’m not thinking Macy’s is gonna want to send customers to Gimbels the way they did before.
