I don't think that's their plan at all. I don't think apple intends on having a search page like Google. But I could see them use their own algorithms / tying into other services for things like Siri and Spotlight that will in turn drive people away from Google as their search engine for certain things. It's already been happening to a certain extent but over the next few years I expect we will see more and more of it. Even Apple won't be able to replace Google as the worlds best search engine. Not without completely changing the way we search for things.
How can you guys talked like this about another human being whom you don't know and never met?
I understand you may not care for his company's business practices but to say things like this says more about you than him. It's disgraceful and you should be ashamed.

It originated with Watergate. A presidential scandal in the 70's.
I think he Googled "What has google innovated" and found there was more to talk about with Apple.
I just typed "Chinese food" into Spotlight Search. It gave me links to three Chinese restaurants. In Denver. Which would be great, except I don't live anywhere near Denver...
Exactly.
I also don't remember a high-end Android phone running iOS either.
It's not just the hardware that people like about iPhones... it's also the software.
Yes Mr. Schmidt... Samsung had "a phone with a 5.5" screen" a year ago... but it wasn't an iPhone.
Similarly... HP and Dell could make all sorts of computers... but they won't be Machintoshes.
Build quality ? Agree - Bendgate doesn't change my mind on that part.
BUT yeeesssss iPhone is 2012 hardware compared to many highend Android phones. But that doesn't matter because of the brilliant OS it has.
I'm just quoting from Isaacson's book from the meeting between Jobs and Schmidt at the Palo Alto restaurant. (Jobs turned down a money offer)

The pathetic thing is that Google actively manipulates this competition though its search/advertising business.
Competition way oversold
Competition as a driver toward excellence and innovation is way oversold.
Very few human endeavors are races, and the ones that are, become corrupt.
Coöperation, on the other hand, drives most of what is excellent.

He understands. He's just saying what he's supposed to say. He's not going to admit he wished people lined up like that for devices running Android.
Not Schmidt. That was Scott McNealy from 1999.

In other news, Schmidt is rumored as the underground leader of ISIS.
They already use their own in-house search algorithms for Apple Maps POIs. It sucks.
You know it's all in your heads only, right? People like you love to create sensationalism by magnifying every little reports out there. Those gates are more exaggerated than they actual are. Everything bends under extreme use, every updates contain small errors (as long as they are pulled and being fixed, what's wrong with that?) and iOS 8 is running fine on hundred of millions iDevices out there. Stop trippin'.
I don't think the word "spank" means what you think it means.
Android is CRUSHING iOS in marketshare. The new iPhones will help, but only the 6+ has a competitive display. Most people don't know much about cameras so they figure higher MPs is always better.
Android L will be instructive in what the next few years look like for Apple. If Google fixes stability and performance issues, Apple will never regain lost market share. Most Mac/iPhone users I know buy the overpriced hardware to use the OS, so once the OS lead evaporates, there is no reason to pay twice as much for a device that's too thin.
What do you think it means then? ... assuming its true, of course (I guess Isaacson could have got it wrong?)

Exactly. Except for when Apple is first, as with the retina iPhone display or 64-bit SoC. Then it's innovation.
