Yes, passive-aggressive douchebaggery was what this situation was missing.
(I'm not saying he's wrong; we don't know why the Maps contract negotiations broke down. I'm just saying he sounds like a jerk in this quote.)

- tomkarlo 14y agoHow is it "passive-aggressive douchebaggery" for Schmidt to say that Google would have preferred if Apple stayed with their mapping solution, but Apple had a right to make their own decision? Seems like a relatively straightforward statement about the situation in response to a reporter's question.
