It looks like Steve Jobs and Eric Schmidt don't hate each other as much as the NYT and Jim Goldman think

That's right folks, Steve Jobs, (recently described by CNBC's Jim Goldman as "simply hating" Eric Schmidt) was having coffee with him, just this afternoon! A Gizmodo tipster sent this photo (and a few others) of the pair having a nice, civilized time at Calafia in Palo Alto earlier today, sort of taking a bit of steam out of the idea that they've ended their "beautiful friendship." Now, call us cynical, but we're willing to bet the two ventured into this very public place together just to disprove the recent rumors of the failed relationship. Hit up the source link for another photo of the two (plus one of a very plate-less Jobscar).
I didn't know they had paparazzi.
why didnt Eric slap him?
@valuepc
Am I the only one that noticed that he even though he crossed his legs... both of them are touching the floor?????
@Twoleaf
Someone should slap you for mainf pointless comments.
This really was the last thing I expected after hearing about all the supposed bad feelings between these two.
I wonder what the topic of conversation was.

@ComboBreaker His left leg must be long.
@ComboBreaker
Nice catch. I hope that's photoshopped!
@ComboBreaker to you and all the ppl hitting the uprank button - it's painfully obvious that it's hanging in mid air - picture observation FAIL
@friendly0ne if course this is photoshop
@ComboBreaker
Left foot tilted so that his toes touch the ground. The angle makes it look like both are flat.
@valuepc - Given the market cap between these two, I'm actually surprised they'd be out in public without protection.
If they were in oil or finance, they'd have shut down the street for them.
@Twoleaf
Because he recognizes the iPhone is vastly superior to the Nexus One or any Android device and it makes him a submissive little bitch
@ComboBreaker , C-C-C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER, but it must be from all the yoga or meditation Steve does.
@ComboBreaker
lol, can you say PHOTOSHOP?
@valuepc
SJ: "I'll have a non-fat soy venti caramel latte, a soy muffin thanks."
Chef: "Sure, coming up"
SJ: "Oh; and one more thing..."
@valuepc
Jobs: lovin' you lovin you lovin' you
when im when im
lovin' you lovin you' why would you wanna break up
@Phenom
It's painfully obvious you don't know how to click a link and view the picture in more detail. Both feet are clearly on the ground.
@Nitesh
lol, well done :P
@ComboBreaker Why? Can't you do this? Cross your legs slouch a little. There you go both feet touches the ground.
@ComboBreaker
good lord your right!
@valuepc
It's pretty obvious his foot isn't touching the ground and I edit photos ALOT.
Too busy obsessing over nothing to notice the iPad on the table ?
@Nitesh good post sir, you got a laugh out of me
@bruintoo Nope, my other foot misses by about a foot. Though I'm pretty sure if I had a liver transplant I'd be a lot thinner.
@angermeans
Seriously, I think my scarf is worth more than Steve Jobs' entire outfit...wtf is with this guy? I know his 'salary' is technically $1/year, but I would think a billionaire such as himself could afford some decent clothes and shoes!
@fourthletter -- "It's pretty obvious his foot isn't touching the ground and I edit photos ALOT."
Are you sure? The ankle on the crossed leg is tilted down... making that foot touch the ground as well...

This is pretty awesome, if I was there and I saw those two chatting I would have pulled up a chair and been like "Fill me in, guys."
@valuepc
Wow, does he ALWAYS where that same outfit?!?!?
Black turtleneck and jeans too cool to come down to his ankles
for a greedy billionaire, he sure does dress poorly.
BTW, I wonder who covered the bill...
@scoobydooby That's one of the nice things about the Silicon Valley, there are enough wealthy people and techies around that you're generally OK.
If those talentless assholes on MTV warrant their own paparazzi for doing absolutely nothing of worth, then I think Steve Jobs and Eric Schmidt more than qualify for their contributions to society.
I agree with you. He always wear the same thing tho. And he wear the same outfit for every keynote check all of the keynote. But yeah he actually dress like a regular guy. Like us ^_^
@ComboBreaker
That's an interesting observation
@macmann
World domination is my guess.
I would rather Google be in charge of that, I could live in a Google world. :D
@ComboBreaker That doesn't really surprise me since my father (whose built like Jobs only a tad bit healthier looking) does the same thing. When you're tall and lanky that's not a hard feat.

Last strip
@ComboBreaker He must have really skinny legs... If you have any muscle in your thighs, it's impossible to cross your legs like that.

@macmann
Here's a thought...
How bad do you really think the blood is between these two? The fact is they are still two human beings and they didn't get to their respected positions by being mean spirited.
Furthermore, Steve reportedly just received a transplanted liver last year which would usually transform even the most heartless person into a thankful one for a least a short period of time. Now I'm not calling Steve heartless but just think about how people tend to react after having been blessed by making it through a traumatic life altering event. I remember just how nice David Letterman appeared for a period of time following his heart bypass surgery a decade ago...the man was glowing. Or how about the entire population of the United States following 9/11.
With that said I'll bet after these photos were snapped Steve pulled out his iPad and laughed at Eric who later returned to Google and had the Psystar website pop up first in the search result whenever somebody googled Apple.
@ComboBreaker
It's possible due to the fact he has only internal organs from stolen crackbabies.
@erik1080
Their ninja body guards are lurking in the shadows waiting for them to leave to pay the bill.
@valuepc haha yes, well it seems the apple v google debacle could be talk out with a warm-cappuccino, right? http://bit.ly/google-v-apple-debacle-opinions
This is great ....
@DaveBach
You have to realize that everything that's on the internet tends to get blown out of proportion. Bloggers are always trying to stir up trouble over everything they see or hear just to get more hits. Then again, this public meeting might be staged to patch up investor fears. Who knows.
Well I'll be damned!
@elijahblake Their on a man date.
@Edobe
man they deleted my comment.. So Long Freedom of Speech..
@Kris91
Steve Jobs is like Mario. He never changes his clothes.
@elijahblake Your comment lives on in spirit through all of us who replied to it.
@Kris91
There's poison in that coffee
@HotDog Kinda like the poison scene from The Princess Bride maybe?
Does he never change his clothes? Like ever?
@wasteoftime For once I think it's cool that the CEO of $50bn company doesn't wear a $1m expensive suit..
