Today in Atlanta It’s over 90 degrees and hotter than three hells.

But today in the Silicon Valley, it’s ice cold between Google and Apple.

“OMG! Google and Apple are fighting!” the nerd nation cried out collectively in ASSIC (text messages).

Eric Schmidt (CEO of Google) “resignation” from Apple Apple’s Board of Directors today was not a surprise to most of the technology world. Especially after the Google Voice app being pulled from Apple.

Anyone who has a computer knows that both Apple and Google really hate Microsoft. That is why they teamed up in the first place. Kind of like what USA and Russia accomplished to fight the Germans in WWII.

But, then Google got nukes and a different political system. Google has a mobile phone, app store, a browser, and now an operating system.

Apple has a problem. It’s Google. They are a superpower in the mobile business.

This is the early stages of what I call the Technology Cold War.

You probably don’t care. And, if you are a Recruiter like me, you’re probably wondering what this has to do with recruiting.

Elementary my dear bro. Competition is what drives companies to hire

And, look around you. We need the competition. So, people get ready. I’m glad that Google and Apple are fighting. It just means more jobs for everyone.
