Apple, Google Agree Not to Purse Other's Workers

Apple and Google are said to have had an unofficial agreement not to poach each other's employees -- or at least they did while Google CEO Eric Schmidt served on Apple's board, according to TechCrunch. Unnamed sources told TechCrunch that no formal, written agreement exists, and that employees of one company were welcome to apply for jobs at the other, but that the two companies said they would not actively pursue hiring away each other's workers.
