Sanity check: Has Eric Schmidt finally outmaneuvered Bill Gates and Steve
Ballmer?
,----[ Quote ]
| When Eric Schmidt left his job as the chairman and CEO of Novell to become
| the top executive at Google in 2001 he privately told journalist John

|

| whipping boy to white knight, and unless something dramatic happens it’s very
| likely that Google and Schmidt will ultimately be portrayed as the good guys

| dominates the market, taking in 77% of the revenues from those little text
