Eric Schmidt, Google's chairman and former chief executive, admitted to the U.S. Senate antitrust subcommittee that Apple's new Siri personal assistant technology is a "significant development" in search and could pose a threat to his company's core business.
Considering source(s), one is a marketing ploy, the other is a 'gee, we're not the Evil Empire' kind of thing. Given the market share of Apple anything in comparison to Google that "threat" is rather limited.
