  Um, perhaps you should? The article makes no inference that Schmidt had a bigger role. In fact, the article mentions Brin more often than Schmidt.

    "Brin appears to not know what the nature of the agreement is between the two companies." I actually started another thread discussing this exact topic: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7455116 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7455116

      I don't see your point. Ok, so Jobs talked to Schmidt before talking to Brin. Either way, Brin continued the practice and actively promoted it.

  Not who you replied to, but: Brin seemed pretty complicit in it. He didn't make the final decision to appease Jobs, but he asked for a temporary stay in recruiting Apple employees and obviously agreed with Schmidt's decision to ban all recruiting.
