Apple CEO Tim Cook and Google CEO Larry Page are said to have been engaged in behind-the-scenes discussions aimed at resolving the ongoing patent struggle between the two companies. According to Reuters, Page and Cook's talks are part of a larger effort in which lower-level officials have also met with the goal of achieving some sort of detente between the erstwhile technology partners. The exact scope of Page and Cook's talks is unknown; they could focus on a limited set of issues or they could be working out a broader settlement of many disputes.
