Fortune has the tremendous scoop:
I don’t know if this is unique at this time in this industry, but there are companies that are clearly competing with each other [Google, Apple and Amazon], with completely different business models.
I actually view that as a shame when you think about it that way. All the big technology companies are big because they did something great. I’d like to see more cooperation on the user side. The Internet was made in universities and it was designed to interoperate. And as we’ve commercialized it, we’ve added more of an island-like approach to it, which I think is a somewhat a shame for users.So in light of that, Apple’s still a partner. It’s a competitor. You and Steve Jobs were friendly.
At times.
