@Gowri: Yes, that’s right. That’s why I said “such a background”

@Prem: I’m not so sure about that. Think about Yahoo!, Terry Semel and Jerry Yang.

I would be more comfortable if a company has a ceo with a non-tech background…..else most products they come up with will be totally geeky, and not appeal to most of the non-techie population.

Probably thats the reason that eric schmidt is almost a puppet for sergey & larry

Don’t forget that Eric Schmidt was CTO and COO of Sun Microsystems before he joined Google. Its not like he wrote Lex when he was CEO of Google! (Now that would be something to talk about ) Lex was written some 25+ years ago when he was in AT&T Bell Labs working on Unix.

@Gopal: Heh, it's a coincidence really!

I came to these two blog posts from totally two different angles, but it's funny on what you pointed out. I never thought about it till now.

So… when’re you joining Google?

(otherwise the amount of fanboi in your posts about Yegge and Schmidt, is totally misplaced)

As you said it’s not surprising for google anymore.
In fact as Paul Graham told, they are the community of Hackers. What is impossible to hackers is impossibility. Isn’t it?
