I'm guessing that he very well couldn't have been in the running for the next Apple CEO if he was still running Google.

They have been doing this for skis since the late 80's. The torsion box design for skis revolved around composite materials being woven around wood/foam cores.

the iHouse will be based on conjectures made about Bill Gates' home 10 years ago, and will be touted by Apple as its innovation and a model for future homes! LOL
