    They should give Schmidt an award for outstanding achievement in the field of excellence and then have him retire.

They seem to be doing just fine these days in search, hosted apps, and android.



    Who is criticizing Google?

    He couldn't have been talking about Google, he said one of the most innovative.

    This is a big shake up however they spin it. I can't help but think the fact that it followed the iPhone on Verizon announcement, the poor showing at CES, the near universal negative response to the decision to drop H.264 from Chrome and the news that Apple sold 16.4 million iPads isn't a coincidence.

    There are already thousands of people who spend their days doing nothing but criticizing one of the most successful and innovative tech companies for no better reason than because they are Apple.

    Two questions:



    1) Is there an opening for Co-EC?



    2) Have you ever seen an uglier chart?

    Note the sliding door -- how cool is that?

    Seriously, these fanboys who are criticizing just because it's Google is hilarious. Maybe you should actually see what this person will do.



    Seriously, trolls who see any criticism as gratuitous are equally hilarious. On your other point, we have already seen what "this person" has done, for many years. I assume he will just do more of it.

    Spies are always a threat. There would be no successful Android phones without the iPhone.

    That rumor doesn't even make sense, and has been debunked. He most certainly is required to put license plates on his car.

    All the parking tickets that were issued to Steve for parking in the handicapped space were instead sent to this guy Robert Barbour.
