Merriam Webster’s Dictionary

Eric Schmidt (N.)

1.  A middle aged man who looks like the child of Karl Rove and Stewie from Family Guy who is destined to go to H-E- double hockey sticks or at least be caned in China.

2.  CEO of Google.

3.  Slapped China in the face.

4.  Slapped by his wife for his multiple mistresses…probably.

Not only is/was Eric Schmidt dating Kate Bohner, a “CEO-digger,” while he was married, but he is slowly becoming friendless.  Schmidt will no longer enjoy tea time or afternoon brunches with man pal Steve Jobs.  Recently, when Schmidt was at Burning Man with “the other woman,” he received a phone call from Steve Jobs.  There had been rumors of the Google phone from HTC and the irate Jobs called Schmidt to reprimand and berate Schmidt for his disloyal behavior.  Also, when the iPhone was in the prototype form, Schmidt supposedly gave it to his wife after he became restless with the iPhone, and after his wife played with it, he gave it to Bohner.

This man clearly respects women and while he is a smart and intelligent man who is the CEO of Google, it is clear that he fails at life.  Here’s to you Eric Schmidt, for almost being as big of a jerk as Tiger Woods, who cheated on his pregnant wife with 16…17…18…women in counting.

After the announcement of the iPad, Steve Jobs met with his employees in what seemed to be an open forum for employees to ask questions. At this Apple town hall meeting, Jobs supposedly said that in regards to Google “We did not enter the search business [...] Make no mistake they want to kill the iPhone. We won’t let them.” Jobs continued this excited rhetoric and said Google’s “Don’t be evil” company mantra is “bull$hit.”

Jobs didn’t stop there. He continued to discuss Adobe and said that they were “lazy” and that Adobe has “all this potential to do interesting things but they just refuse to do it. They don’t do anything with the approaches that Apple is taking, like Carbon. Apple does not support Flash because it is so buggy.” While the source who discussed these details of the Apple meeting could not reveal himself due to the fact that everything in the meeting was probably meant to be kept within the walls of the Apple company, there are other sources who are disputing what profanity and to what extreme that Jobs spoke. Either way, whether he used profanity or spoke some ill words about competing companies, I don’t blame him for having a firing speech.

Jobs is not only building a product, but also a culture internally in the company and externally with the public. I am not sure why the media is so surprised or shocked. Jobs is performing as a leader. It would have been completely different if Jobs went to a Google company meeting and yelled while Eric Schmidt, CEO of Google, was talking what the oh so eloquent Rep. Joe Wilson said to Obama:

YOU LIE!
