Google to Apple On The "Adult Way" To Run A Business Heh, no one ever accused this guy of being subtle. While what he says may be true, implying Apple isn't running its company in an adult manner probably isn't going to win over anyone in Cupertino. The adult way to run a business is to run it more like a country. They have disputes, yet they've actually been able to have huge trade with each other. They're not sending bombs at each other.
