I think he’s a really weird dude. Recall, for example, this comment of Schmidt’s from 2009, regarding Google and privacy: "If you have something that you don’t want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn’t be doing it in the first place." Schmidt said: "I actually think most people don’t want Google to answer their questions. They want Google to tell them what they should be doing next. The thing that makes newspapers so fundamentally fascinating that serendipity can be calculated now. We can actually produce it electronically."
