Yup stupid idiots that have taken Apple to become the largest company in the US/World this past year and have Apple sitting on $80 billion+ in the bank. Yup they must be idiots. Tell you what I'd like to be one of them idiots really.
Eh, I'm not the one calling them idiots, you can say that to the ones that think that.
To have trusted someone enough to put them on your board is not a mark of a idiot but of a business man that wants to see the company succeed by getting input from various sides of the industry. Now if that person has no personal morals and respect for his position that's on him not the people that trusted him in the first place. This is just a generalised comment and not one intended to be directed at Schmidt himself ... but if the shoe fits .
The problem is that Schmidt doesn't fit. And even Jobs with all of his hunger against Android NEVER accused Schmidt of wrong doing.
