Internet giant Google has announced the resignation of one of its directors, Arthur Levinson, who is also on the board of computer maker Apple.
It comes two months after Google chief executive Eric Schmidt quit the Apple board because Google's interests were increasingly competing with Apple's.
The move was welcomed by the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) which has been probing overlapping board memberships.
The two firms used to be seen as allies against the dominance of Microsoft.
However, they have started competing directly in recent years in areas such as mobile phones.
