Or so the talks seem to go. Long time operating system rivals, Microsoft and Apple, have been in secret meetings according to various sources, that they are teaming up against the ever extending Google hand. What does this mean for iPhone users? Well, Bing might soon replace Google as your default search engine. Google would still be an option, but Bing would become the out of the box resource for millions of people world wide. This comes as little surprise as Google's own home made OS and phone, Android and Nexus One respectively, are direct competitors to Apple's Jesus phone. And that's not to mention the constant denials in Google grown app's in Google Voice and Google Latitude.
Mr. Jobs must really see a big threat from Google to look to Ballmer for help in this situation, but I guess when the situation calls even mortal enemies can join together to engage a common nemesis. Though, it's interesting to point out that Google, a relative newcomer to the tech world, has made tech industry vet's Apple and Microsoft hold hands, so to speak, to take overwhelming notice of the big G's growth and power. I'm curious what Google's response to this will be, but then again they seem to be doing fine with their own Google Chrome Operating System coming out later this year, becoming a third party in the war of the OS's.
