In an consultation withAllThingsD , Eric Schmidt answered a fun motion from the audience : If he had to be chief executive officer again , would he choose Apple , Amazon or Facebook ? Schmidt chose Apple . He also insult Microsoft and keeps note Facebook ’s billion users .
His first response to the CEO inquiry was a very smooth political sidestepping of the inquiry :
I was on Apple board , and I ’ll always have a diffuse spot for them . I was very ripe friends and very stuffy to Steve Jobs , and we miss him dearly . Jeff Bezos has made remarkable moves . And again , Facebook has a billion users .
But when press he admitted that he would go with Apple because it had the most immediate payment . Completely and totally sane ! In the rest of the interview — which is definitely worth a read — Schmidt took some blastoff at Microsoft , enunciate Microsoft Surface would “ mean a lot if the intersection works ” and that Apple “ should have kept [ Google ] maps ” and that ego - motor machine are a deal of merriment .
Schmidt is also keenly aware of Facebook ’s billion substance abuser as he mentions it multiple times though he ’s also deeply proud of how successful Android has been , order that there are “ four times more Android phones than Apple earphone . 500 million phone already in use . Doing 1.3 million activation a day . We ’ll be at 1 billion roving devices in a class . ” Hot bloody that ’s a mickle . translate the whole interview atAllThingsD. [ AllThingsD ]
