Fun fact about Eric Schmidt: he’s a moron

And you might be thinking, well yea, I can read the headline. But that’s not even what I’m talking about.

Inside google a bunch of engineers wanted to make chrome, you know that browser everyone uses and gives google an even more unfair strategic advantage. They literally had to hide this effort from Eric Schmidt because he’s a bean counting moron. He has negative strategic vision and would have killed the project.

Listening to this man prognosticate about anything is pointless. This is a man leading google that couldn’t see the value in owning the browser platform, he might be the dumbest person on earth.

You mean this guy could have saved us from Google's browser monopoly? The world could have been so different...

Firefox was a thing, and Google suggested every user to use it before they invented Chrome.
