The Federal Trade Commission is investigating whether the close ties between Apple's and Google's boards of directors violates antitrust laws, the New York Times reports.Makes me wonder if these COMMUNISTS by invoking some 1914 law have copies of Komrade Party Leader Vladimir Ilyich Lenin plastered on their office walls like the College Frat Boy Socialists they must be!!!
Apple and Google share two directors, Google CEO Eric Schmidt, and former Genetech CEO Arthur Levinson. According to the story (free subscription required):
The Clayton Antitrust Act of 1914 prohibits a person's presence on the board of two rival companies when it would reduce competition between them.

How can ANYONE impose the sort of God Hating America Bashing hard left excess jack booted repression that can only come from Radical Hard Leftists like Dear Old Dick and his Polyvynal Regulators!!!!

Apple and Google from those folks who are not going Gilda enough. }
