They used to be friends; what happened?
Steve Jobs and Eric Schmidt used to be such good friends! Back in 2007, Steve had Eric on stage to help him introduce the first iPhone and Eric warmly congratulated Steve on the fancy, new cell phone his company had debuted.
Nowadays, we've got Steve saying HTC's Android devices infringe upon Apple's patented inventions and Eric is making snide remarks about iPad and not knowing the difference between a large phone and a tablet.
So it's time for a caption contest. Here we have a photo of that sunny (it was California, chances are it was sunny) day when Eric hopped on stage to talk about Google search and Maps on the iPhone.
And here are 10 of the top rated comments from last week's pictures:

gimmeausername: Steve: "People keep wondering why Apple continues to be a very successful company. Well, it's actually very simple! My two hands working very hard in fooling them into buying our overpriced stuff."
Bill: "Excuse me, Steve! Your two hands can only capture no more than 10% of the consumer market. I got the other 90% with one hand, pal!"
